Can't choose? Answer three questions and get one movie for tonight.
If Eyes Wide Shut hit the spot, these will too

Desire tipping into danger as a marriage-shaking obsession takes over
The difference: A murder-suspect thriller with a femme fatale, not a marital descent

A hidden self surfacing through obsession that can't be reasoned away
The difference: A supernatural coming-of-age story, not an adult marriage in crisis

A man pulled toward a charismatic, secretive world he can't quite leave
The difference: A postwar cult drama, not a single night's marital unraveling

A respectable surface hiding a secret world of obsession and danger
The difference: A small-town crime investigation, not a marriage under strain

The same mix in both: stillness, then tension
The difference: Easier on the obsession than Eyes Wide Shut

Twisty and dread-soaked in the same breath
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than Eyes Wide Shut does

An obsession that quietly takes over a man's whole sense of reality
The difference: A numerology-thriller puzzle box, not a marriage's sexual undercurrent

One glimpse into a hidden sexual underworld a man can't walk away from
The difference: A snuff-film investigation thriller, far grimmer than a marital spiral

A quiet obsession leads somewhere far darker, one clue at a time
The difference: An occult book-hunting mystery, not a marriage's sexual reckoning

Both rooted in New York City
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Ambition and desire pulling someone into something dangerously secret
The difference: A literal deal-with-the-devil plot, more supernatural than psychological

Both lean on stillness more than on drama
