The Secretary proved very useful to me. Both times I attempted to watch it it quickly put me to sleep...

I liked that it was one of the first 'mainstream' movies which didn't link S&M to murder death kill-after discovering a pain-filled lifestyle together they live happily ever after--exploration and experimentation lead to healing, self-actualization, and all that.

In most mainstream movies anything sexually out of the ordinary tends to end in some terrible thing happening to someone or someone getting otherwise 'cured' of their 'problem'.

I can think of many mainstream films with BDSM undertones e.g. Bitter Moon (1992). That for me said more about this world than The Secretary did.

Nah...they only portrayed her as an insecure nutjob for most of the movie.

Also who can forget such great movies as 'The Pet' with lines like....

"I'm afraid Paws died from being hit with a blunt object to the gut, maybe a fist"
