Ummmmy little sister who is a junior in high school much prefers DL to CI. Actually, she considers CI 'a mediocre teeny-bopper' movie in her own words. It really all depends on a person's tastes. Not all young people like the same things you do. You shouldn't assume that just because you like something that every other person your age will like it too. And I was in college when CI came out. I was not that much older than the characters, but I still preferred DL too. But then, I love period pieces like DL and Sense and Sensibility.

I believe DL is LEAUGES better than CI though the latter is still pretty good. The end of CL is complete BS, I d it. Sebastian's was random and Reese Witherspoon's character being alive and one upping Catherine was just annoying and cliqued.

Sir Galahad: Three sir!
King Arthur: THREE! -

I hated that part. So very Hollywood. That's why I liked DL - the ending, while melodramatic, was a little more closer to what would have happened in real life. There were no happy survivors. -

I don't want to be rudebut what are we discussing this for? Cruel Intentions is frothy, forgettable crap. It's something you watch on a Sunday afternoon because nothing else is on the television. Dangerous Liaisons is truly excellent; it is also based on the book "Les Liaisons Dangereuses". Everything that happens in DL, pretty much happened in the book, including Tourvel's death.

Hampton: Respect, esteem, sophistication, subtlety and depth.
Kumble: Trash, sexploitation, superficiality and desecration.
come ondon't hold backhow do you
really
feel?.
FTR: I concur.but for the saliva-bridge-kiss between SMG and Selma Blair, "Cruel Intentions" is a point piece of filmmaking.

All in all I nuch prefer DL but I agree with some posters that DL's weak point is death of Madame de Tourvel. But the performances of DL is miles ahead of CI plus the incredibly fine filming of DL puts it well ahead of CI as a cinematic experience.
