Are femme fatale thrillers too politically incorrect nowadays? (watch, classic)

[ironpony]

I'm a fan of the genre, but haven't seen any for quite a few years where you have a villain woman who uses seduction and sex as a weapon such as Double Indemnity, Basic Instinct, The Last Seduction, etc.

But I haven't seen any in quite a few years, and I wonder if it has anything to do with our times, and maybe audiences just see such a villain as too non-PC nowadays perhaps?

[Mark S.]

I think you could make a case that Cersei Lannister and Mellisandre from GAME OF THRONES fit the classic femme fatale mold.

Femme Fatales used to be the villains. Now they're the heroes. It's a fun switch.
