Description

Oscar® winner Michael Douglas stars with red-hot Sharon Stone in this groundbreaking and controversial film that redefined the genre of the sexy thriller. When tough but vulnerable detective Nick Curran (Douglas) meets a cold, calculating novelist with insatiable sexual urges (Stone), he is caught in a deadly web of betrayal, lies, and murder—quickly descending into San Francisco's dark and dangerous underworld where suspicions mount, bodies fall, and only basic instincts keep you alive.

    The fact that Sharon Stone is billed second to Michael Douglas is besides me, as Sharon clearly is the star of the film. He does nothing, and could never ever compete w the queen that Sharon is!
  • Smart! Hot! Steamy! Fantastic!

    Good suspenseful movie with good acting all around, but not gonna buy until it’s in 4K w/ Dolby Vision so I can see everything, if you know what I mean. ;)

    There are two films that seemed designed to scare men with wandering imaginations back to the straight and narrow: Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct. This film is a truly excellent nuveau-Hitchcock thriller that brilliantly builds and builds, right up to the final second. I watched it once, and that was enough for me. I promise to behave myself from now on.
  • Ok…iTunes…WHERE IS THE COVER ART

    The mood & music really add to the story. Plus it has Sharon Stone at the height of her beauty.
  • If you like film production, watch Basic Instinct!

    The timing in this movie is impeccable. The scenes, between takes, are timed well - there's enough time for you to "feel" what the characters are feeling. There's dark humor and as everyone knows about humor it's about timing. The editing is perfect. In every scene you can literally see the characters become introspective and put two and two together to form their own conclusions. A must-see for any film buff interested in learning how to develop their own movies!
  • Really Impressive

    This film is the best in each others ( Blonde and Dangerous Woman Stories). So Sharon Stone is very very Beautiful and sexy.
