When I was 25, single and without Valentine's Day plans, I took myself out on a whim to see a movie from 1996 that I'd never heard of. It followed grifter Corky (Gina Gershon) as she moved into a new apartment, immediately taken by the charms of neighbor Violet (Jennifer Tilly).
The pair become embroiled in Violet's Boyfriend Caesar's (Joe Pantoliano) money laundering scheme, and hatch a plan to steal some of the cash for themselves. Effortlessly sexy and thrilling with an uplifting conclusion, Bound changed my life for good from that day on.
