Okay, so the other day, I was on this nostalgia kick, right? And I suddenly remembered this movie I watched ages ago, “Cruel Intentions”. Man, that movie was a trip! So much drama, so many mind games. Anyway, it got me thinking, what other movies out there are like it? I started digging around the internet, trying to find something to scratch that same itch.
First, I just googled “movies like Cruel Intentions.” That’s how I always start, just a simple search. I saw a bunch of movie titles, I mean, a real mixed bag. Some of them I’d seen, some I hadn’t. I clicked on a few, read some summaries, and immediately noticed “Dangerous Liaisons” popping up.

Then I stumbled upon this site, “Letterboxd,” or something like that. They had a list specifically about movies similar to “Cruel Intentions” and it was kind of a gold mine, I saw “Do Revenge” and “Election”, which I’d heard good things about. I started looking at some user reviews to see what people were saying. Lots of opinions, you know? Some folks loved these movies, others not so much. It’s always like that, isn’t it?
After that, I just kept jumping from one movie to the next, I checked out other movies mentioned alongside “Cruel Intentions,” like “Pretty Woman” and “Coyote Ugly.” I read some more in-depth reviews, tried to get a feel for the plots and themes. I even started looking up some of the actors, seeing what else they’d been in. You know, one thing leads to another, and before you know it, I’d spent like three hours just researching movies. Classic me, right?
Here are some of the movies I found. It wasn’t easy to narrow it down, to be honest, there were too many to choose from. But these really stuck out as interesting.
- Dangerous Liaisons
- Cruel Intentions 2
- Do Revenge
- Election
- Pretty Woman
- Coyote Ugly
I even found some TV shows that people were comparing to “Cruel Intentions”, like “Gossip Girl,” “Pretty Little Liars,” and “The Sex Lives of College Girls”. I might have to check those out sometime too. But for now, I’m focusing on the movies. I ended up adding a few to my “must-watch” list.
Wrapping up
So yeah, that’s my little adventure from yesterday. I found a bunch of movies that might be similar to “Cruel Intentions”. It was fun, you know? It’s always cool to dive into a specific movie or genre and just explore what else is out there. I am definitely going to check out some of the movies I found. Who knows, maybe I’ll find a new favorite. If you’ve got any other suggestions, hit me up! I’m always looking for more movie recommendations.
