Secretary (2002)

Favorite Movie Quote: "Look, we can't do this 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
Did they get a casting award for this picture? Yes, they certainly did, and it was well deserved. It is not often that casting is perfect, but it certainly was here with Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader, as the secretary and the boss.
Spader is a lawyer who is extremely anal and has some weird taste in decorating. His proclivities for domination come later. Gyllenhaal is fresh from rehab and needs a job. As luck would have it, Spader has a flashing sign in front of his office much like a "Vacancy" sign at a motel. Secretaries don't last long at this office.
In the context of sado-masochism, this is a love story. It's a strange love story, but it was sweet and tender and Gyllenhaal was nothing short of magnificent.
