Thirty years before Fifty Shades of Grey, another risque love story shocked movie audiences. Shot in 1984 by English director Adrian Lyne, 9½ Weeks starred Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger as a pair of yuppies — he a Wall Street arbitrageur, she a SoHo art gallery employee — who embark upon a sadomasochistic affair. The games begin innocently enough but quickly turn to darker, more disturbing psychosexual role-playing. People didn’t want to use Mickey — he wasn’t an obvious leading man.
