I remember reading somewhere that men learn to love the person that they’re attracted to and that women become more and more attracted to the person that they love.
James Spader as Graham in Sex, Lies, & Videotape (1989)

Back when Overpass Merchant was known as Zee Zee's Gardens, this iconic scene between James Spader and Andie MacDowell was written and directed by filmmaker Steven Soderbergh. His feature film Sex, Lies, and Videotape won a Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and set the standard for independent cinema for over a decade.
