The film launched Garner and Ruffalo to new heights, proving their staying power as romantic leads.
In honor of the films 15th anniversary, EW went behind-the-scenes of this epic, killer-diller Thriller sequence.
We drew a lot from our childhood in writing the movie…
Thriller was sort of the soundtrack of our youth in the 1980s.
We all grew up with it…We all tried to practice that.
Shes not being ironic about it; shes not goofing around; shes doing it.
You think youve got it down.
They werent insecure and worried about Oh, do I look good?
They were going for the comedy of the scene and the fun of it.
We just had a really great time.
Seeing somebody do something they had always wanted to do their whole life.
