10 Great Movies About the Dark Side of Desire

"While a good old-fashioned romantic comedy certainly has its place in film, audiences have grown accustomed to the conventions of a typical "boy meets girl" movie. At this point there is very little the standard romantic comedy film can do to be truly subversive anymore.
Even the posters for these types of movies tend to look the same; they're sold as lighthearted films that never get too dark. The relationship depicted onscreen may have a rough patch, but there seems to be an implicit understanding that a happy ending is in store.
Fortunately, for fans of quality cinema there's another type of romance film. This is a film that isn't afraid to explore desire in all its complexity. It may include the excitement that comes with falling in love, but it also exposes the dark side of desire."
