Do you know any other movie that's about seduction and betrayel with a lot of twists and such? I only got cruel intentions, dangerous liasons and wild things in my mind. Know any others???

Seconded. Although the victim in The Hole is a lot more formidable than the helpless jerk in Pretty Persuasion.

you do know that Cruel Intentions is a modern remake of Dangerous Liaisons, right?

[–] AgPie 18 years ago

i will second "To Die For", "Cruel Intentions" and "My Summer of Love" as far as the seduction/conniving femme fatale thing
and "Election" for a more comedic/thematic similarity

and I will add "Swimming Pool", "The Rules of Attraction", and "Little Boy Blue"

Wild things for SURE.

although it is not really about seduction and betrayal, "The Chumscrubber" is an AMAZING film. it's a very dark movie that touches on some of the stereotypes as "Pretty Persuasion" and mocks them in a satyrical way. It's a very good, very dark social commentary on suburbia basically. and glenn close is in it. also cherry crush is pretty good. stars nikki reed and is more of a film noir. also tamera has similar themes, although it isn't very good in my opinion, a little too slasher. but for sure watch "The Chumscrubber"!!!!!!

ooh also "the oh in ohio" has some student/teacher action, however it is much more light. but it's between paul rudd and mischa barton...

If no one's mentioned it, if you like this film, you will probably like Election. It has a very similar mood and general themes. I actually only watched this film because it sounded similar to Election.

I read all of the threads to date and have a couple of new suggestions.

Cheaters (http://imdb.com/title/tt0218094/)

Flirting (http://imdb.com/title/tt0101898/)

Pump Up the Volume (http://imdb.com/title/tt0100436/)

Cheats (http://imdb.com/title/tt0250292/)

Previously mentioned, but also sweet: Crush.

The Crush, yes.
Ghost World, definitely.
Jawbreaker, definitely.
If you can get your hands on it... which is difficult, but I know Amazon carries it.. The Hole. It is SO worth your time. It's got Keira Knightley and Thora Birch in it. Check that out for sure, especially if you liked PP.
