Most people find cheating to be a rather icky thing to do. No matter how you feel about
monogamy, it's pretty terrible to lie to your partner and betray their faith by having an
affair. Of course, while most of us would like not to be in this romantic situation
in real life, movies are a different matter.
Then, what are the best affair movies?
Chloe A remake of the 2003 French film Nathalie,
stars Amanda Seyfried in a character much darker than any of her previous rom-com heroines.
Here, she's a seductive call girl called Chloe, whom Catherine, a paranoid wife, hires to
lure her husband to see if he's been unfaithful. Things get more complex when Catherine is
seduced.
Brokeback Mountain Jake Gyllenhaal and the late great Heath Ledger
star as ranchers who get entangled during long nights on the range. Their love is intense
and passionate with ramifications. Broad, brooding glances, undeniable attraction, and
social entrapment of the main characters render this a completely memorable love tale.
The film's depiction of the ramifications of infidelity, as well as the particular fractures
and fissures that erupt throughout each man's marriage, is equally intriguing.
Match Point In this Woody Allen thriller drama, Jonathan
Rhys Meyers and Scarlett Johansson are adulterers. Despite the fact that their relationship is
peppered with steamy kisses in the shower, the film inevitably ends...yeah, not so well
for everyone involved.
Closer You never stop looking if you believe in love
at first sight. This is the assumption of Mike Nichols' affair thriller drama, which
entangles two lovers in each other's lives with disastrous results. Jude Law, Natalie
Portman, Clive Owen, and Julia Roberts deliver amazing performances that are both moving
and tragic.
This fantastic film also brought us, "lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking
her clothes off, but it's better if you do", which incidentally inspired a Panic! at the
Disco song.
Swimfan Swimfan, a movie as romantic as it is terrifying,
was at the height of the teen melodrama. Ben, a reformed bad boy turned swimming superstar,
cheats on his lovely girlfriend Amy with the seductive new girl Madison. Madison, it turns
out, is a nutcase who tries to wreck (and end) Ben's life after he agrees to end their
affair.
Y Tu Mama Tambien A pair of teenagers and best friends embark
on a road trip with a mysterious older woman in this steamy Mexican drama. The boys' devotion
to their girlfriends is put to a test as the trip's ever-increasing romantic tension mounts.
Then it's discovered that both boys have slept with each other's partners, but all bets are
off when it comes to loyalty and fidelity.
American Beauty For years, Lester Burnham believed that following
the capitalist American dream would bring him peace and happiness. When he discovers
that he is still hollow on the inside, Lester tries to recreate himself as a carefree lifestyle.
Lester is drawn into a deep flirtation with Angela, his daughter's seductive best friend,
along the way.
The affair does not go anywhere as expected, but Lester's imagination does, culminating
in the classic scene of Angela floating in rose petals.
The English Patient A French-Canadian nurse assisting several
badly burned patients during the final days of WWII in Italy. Via his extensive bandages,
the patient continues to tell the tale of his recent great affair, adventure, and disaster
while working as a cartographer in Africa. The beautiful and ornate film's main takeaway
is that it's better to wait for a city's discretion before starting an affair, so it's easy to
get captured in a desert.
Indecent Proposal Take care not to turn your marriage into a
money-making scheme. After a financial crisis strikes David Murphy and his wife, Diana,
hard, they resort to gaming in Las Vegas to win big. When the gambling falls through,
the pair is given one more ray of financial hope by an enigmatic mysterious billionaire.
He's willing to lend the pair a million dollars in exchange for a night with Diana.
Fatal Attraction Any affair relationship will fizzle out. Others
finish with your daughter's pet rabbit being cooked on the grill. Though you might not
fantasize about this romance affair, Glenn Close's characterization of the obsessive
Alex, you'll be hooked and likely terrify you.
Betrayal The film begins in a bar, where ex-lovers
Jerry and Emma are discussing the circumstances of their seven-year affair. Jerry, a literary
agent, who is the best friend of Emma's husband, a well-known English publisher.
The film, told in nine segments in reverse chronological order, is a careful portrait
of the choices we make and the consequences of those choices.
Same Time, Next Year Every year, George and Doris reunite for a
one-night stand at a small California inn. The tradition started in 1951, and through
marriage and children, they have never skipped their meeting. Over time, they grow an intimacy
that flows like a current through their personal trials and tribulations, sustaining them.
The Graduate Mrs. Robinson, here's to you. Dustin Hoffman's
role as Benjamin, a disaffected 21-year-old who embarks on an affair with an older woman,
may have helped launch his career, but it's Bancroft's subtle performance as the notorious
Mrs. Robinson that elevates her to the film's MVP.
"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?" is still one of the most iconic
lines in film history.
