watching double jeopardy best film ever

[ladybird69]

For reasons I'm not going into its the best film ever better than sleeping with the enemy.
art reliving real life. it makes me breakdown every time I watch it but it's so close to real life.

[PotterBot]

Huh?

[ladybird69]

have you ever watched it potter?

[Hayels]

Watching it now- brilliant film!

[PotterBot]

Yes I've watched it loads of times. I love it but don't see how it's close to real life. And i say that as someone who has violent thoughts against their ex husband.

[ladybird69]

Hayes yes brill film crying my eyes out now.
Potter (luckily) obviously ur ex wasn't at all like my ex therefore you wouldn't understand.

[MadauntofA]

The bit in the coffin freaks me out

[ladybird69]

oh my god yeahMad id literally die in the coffin.
I just think it's so clever and it shows how she outplayed a narcissistic psychopath and won in the end 😄

[Vaginaaa]

Oooh I love double jeopardy! The first time I saw it, it made me feel sick the level of manipulation he puts her through. Sleeping with the enemy is the one that really scares me though. That one was hard to watch.

[Hayels]

What's the film, I think with Jennifer Lopez, sketchy on the details but similar to this. I think he's abusive and frames her then she beefs up and goes after him?

[Mirror21]

Hayels its called Enough, brilliant

[Hayels]

Going to have to go and find it now!!

[ladybird69]

Ooo that sounds good I'll look it up too 😄

[Lightbulbon]

I love the (now very dated) bit in the library where she puts off her admirer by saying she was convicted of murdering her husband

[ladybird69]

yeah the look on his face from cocky to shit scared in two sentences. and then her dead husbands face at the auction when he recognises her. brilliant.

[DataColour]

I've seen it 3 times! Love it!!

[bakeoffcake]

Oh I love this film. So, so good.

I think it was based in a true story?

[DoesAnyoneReadTheseThings]

Such a good film!

[bakeoffcake]

Ignore me, I've just googled, it wasn't based on a true story.

[SmallGreenBouncyBall]

I love that film.
that and 'the net' are my insomnia fixes.

love the fashion as well and whish I could wear trousers like that!

[ladybird69]

yeah Ashley Judd is just so stylish without trying (sigh) her husband makes me sick. bake it could be based on a true story sadly.
psst don't tell anyone else but my insomnia film is burlesque!!!!

[SandyMumsnet]

Hi everyone,
Just sweeping this great thread into films, OP please do shout if this is a problem.

[LittleRedSparke]

I remember when this came out - was the husband called Nicholas Parsons??

I also remember hating it......

[gingerboy1912]

Good film. But the coffin scene is horrible. Can you imagine if she didn't have that gun

[ImperialBlether]

I want to watch this. Is it on catch up, do you know?

I thought Sleeping With The Enemy was great.
Patrick Bergin was so scary.
The house on the beach was amazing.
