Alright, folks, gather ’round! I’ve got a little story for ya today about my quest to find flicks similar to that classic, “Cruel Intentions.” You know the one, right? All those mind games and, well, some pretty messed up stuff between step-siblings. So, I’m in the mood for something with that same kinda vibe – you know, that dark, twisty stuff.
First thing I did? I started firing up the old search engine. Typed in “movies similar to Cruel Intentions” and, boom, hit with a ton of suggestions. One that popped up right away was “Wild Things.” I’d seen it ages ago, and I remember it being pretty wild, just like the title says. Definitely had that whole naughty, scheming thing going on.
- Wild Things
Then there’s “Dangerous Liaisons,” another one I kept seeing. This one stars Glenn Close, and from what I gather, it’s kinda like the granddaddy of “Cruel Intentions.” Like, “Cruel Intentions” is based on this one, which is based on a play, which is based on a book. It’s like a whole lineage of messed up relationships!
- Dangerous Liaisons
I also stumbled upon something about a “Cruel Intentions” TV show on Prime Video. Apparently, it’s a modern take on the original movie, mixing in some drama and mystery. Sounds interesting, but I was more in the mood for another movie, you know?
Of course, they also listed “Cruel Intentions 2.” Directed by the same guy, Roger Kumble, as the first one. I guess it could be worth a watch, but sequels, you know? They can be hit or miss.
- Cruel Intentions 2
Now, I’m scrolling through this site, Letterboxd, and it’s saying there are, like, 62 films similar to “Cruel Intentions.” 62! That’s a lot of twisted tales. This site seems pretty cool, made by film fans and all that. And they’re pulling their data from TMDb, which I guess is a big movie database.
Another site I found, called Filmaffinity. It’s like a social network for movie buffs. People voting, making lists, writing reviews. I saw some other movies being compared to “Cruel Intentions” there, like “Pretty Woman” and “Coyote Ugly.” But they don’t really give off the same vibe for me, you know?
Then I realized something – there was a recent movie called “Do Revenge” that got released on Netflix. I watched it, and I gotta say, it’s got some serious “Cruel Intentions” vibes. The plotting, the betrayals, the whole “doing each other’s revenge” thing – it’s all there. It’s like a modern, teenage version of “Cruel Intentions,” but it definitely scratches that same itch.
- Do Revenge
My Conclusion
So, after diving into the rabbit hole of movie recommendations, I realized there are tons of options if you’re looking for that “Cruel Intentions” type of film. Whether it’s the older ones like “Wild Things” and “Dangerous Liaisons,” or something newer like “Do Revenge,” there’s plenty out there to satisfy that craving for dark, twisty plots. I ended up watching “Do Revenge” and it was pretty good. Definitely not on the same level as “Cruel Intentions” but still entertaining in that same messed up way, you know? It’s all about finding what floats your boat, I guess. Or, in this case, what sinks your ship into the depths of messed up relationships and schemes!
