Just like the Jeopardy category Before & After.
The answer is a combination of two movie titles.
First one...
Matthew McConaughey is a lawyer who teams up with Uma Thurman to exact vengeance.
BullSchmidt had our inaugural correct answer with...A Time to Kill Bill
A publishing executive is visited and bitten by a woman and starts exhibiting erratic behavior while a petty thief posing as an actor is brought to Los Angeles for an unlikely audition and finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation along with his high school dream girl and a detective who's been training him for his upcoming role
share(Obviously, the second title is not a movie but a short animated cartoon.)
Russ Meyer's documentary about the underground vice world of Europe, featuring a particularly sordid episode with Foghorn Leghorn and his old college roommate, Rhode Island Red.
EDIT: It's been over a day, so I'll put the answer here under a spoiler cover: Europe In The Raw! Raw! Rooster!
A young Parisian woman meets a middle-aged American businessman... Travis Henderson, an aimless drifter who has been missing for four years, wanders out of the desert and must reconnect with society, himself, his life, and his family... and he demands their clandestine relationship be based only on sex.
shareAn American In Paris, Texas?
shareSecond one is correct.
I tried to intertwine the clues A young Parisian woman meets a middle-aged American businessman and he demands their clandestine relationship be based only on sex. Is the first movie
In that case I'm lost. I had parsed it wrong and thought the relationship based only on sex part went with the Travis Henderson part. It's been a long time since I've seen An American In Paris and I don't remember it at all, and I already had my doubts about Gene Kelly playing a businessman (now, looking at IMDB I see his character was a painter). The ages would work, Kelly and Leslie Caron were 39 and 20 respectively. But if the relationship based only on sex is part of the Parisian woman/American man movie, then it definitely isn't that one! And with that movie ruled out, I don't have the faintest clue what the other half of the puzzle is.
shareIt was Last Tango In Paris, Texas.
shareAn assassin, who moonlights as a wealthy New York City investment banking executive, hides out in Italy for one last assignment, hiding his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies.
shareFashion photographer Dick Avery, in search for an intellectual backdrop for an air-headed model, expropriates a Greenwich Village bookstore and an FBI agent undergoes facial transplant surgery to assume the identity of the criminal mastermind who murdered his only son
shareWhen the government puts all its rotten criminal eggs in one airborne basket, an ex-fighter pilot is forced to take over the controls of an airliner even though its an entirely different kind of flying all together.
shareThe only son of a wealthy widow on vacation with his cousin Catherine, he gets severe sunburn, ends up in a feud with a local yachtsman, and has to race him to regain his pride and family's respect. He dies. What the girl saw was so horrible that she went insane.
share(The common element in this before/after is not a word but a syllable)
A manipulative woman, so ugly that most who look at her turn to stone, and a roguish blind[*] man who is more than her match conduct a turbulent romance during the American Civil War and Reconstruction periods, but it all ends when he decides he frankly doesn't give a damn.
[*] The movie doesn't have a blind man, but it's necessary here so the hero doesn't get turned into a statue.
