On February 7 1960 James Spader was born... so the theme for today are movies with James Spader-enjoy!
1 Crash (1996) Director David Cronenberg
Controversial offbeat film based on the novel by J.G. Ballard about a man (James Ballard which is played by Spader) who becomes embroiled in a sexual sub-culture-Spader is great in the lead role...
2 Pretty in Pink (1986) Director Howard Deutch
Charming movie about outcast girl from wrong side of the tracks (Molly Ringwald) who falls for the wealthy boy at her school- top notch performances by Jon Cryer as Ringwald's best friend and Spader as wealthy egomaniac school mate who attempts to break up the relationship...
3 Wall Street (1987) Director Oliver Stone
Story of young business executive who is willing to do anything to make it on wall street-Michael Douglas is stellar as greedy mentor which garnered him an Academy Award for his performance.
4 Sex Lies and Videotape (1989) Director Steven Soderbergh
Movie about infidelity and voyeurism-Spader is mesmerizing in his role...
5 Secretary (2002) Director Steven Shainberg
Film about sadomasochistic sexual relationship that ignites between a secretary and her boss...
6 White Palace (1990) Director Luis Mandoki
Story of romance between younger man and older woman-adequate story line is elevated by good performances of Spader and Susan Sarandon in title roles...
7 Jack's Back (1988) Director Rowdy Herrington
Lesser known film with Spader in the lead role as a serial killer...
8 Baby Boom (1987) Director Charles Shyer
Sweet film about woman executive who leaves her high powered career to raise a child-Diane Keaton is charming in the title role...
9 Bad Influence (1990) Director Curtis Hanson
Interesting film about two men who become friends until one of them turns out to be a dangerous sociopath-over the top fun performance by Rob Lowe as sociopath...
As I have seen all but one film (Jack's Back) I look forward to your feedback... enjoy!
