3. 3-Iron (2004)
Kim Ki Duk's last somewhat conventional romantic movie before he went off the deep end with his film making. The movie is impossible to describe. Interesting fact - there's probably around a dozen dialogues in the whole movie.

6. Once (2006)

7. Beautiful Memories (2001)

8. Moulin Rouge (2001)
Musical about a courtesan and penniless writer who fall in love. of course, there's the evil rich dude who wants the courtesan to himself. The cinematography is stunningly beautiful that it enhances the emotion of every scene.

9. Ghost (1990)

10. Pretty Woman (1990)
Another movie from 1990 (Ghost being the other) about a businessman and a prostitute. Another modern Cinderella story with predictable results but still very endearing.

People who added this item 287  Average listal rating (156 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating 7.5 
11. Say Anything... (1989)
Cameron Crowe used to make great movies once. Underachiever John Cusack romances the smartest girl in school, Ione Skye. A sweet romance that has more depth than most people realise.
Abhi's rating:

12. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
Would you erase someone completely from your mind because it hurt too much to remember them? Even more to the point, will erasing them make any difference at all?
Abhi's rating:

People who added this item 1014  Average listal rating (679 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 7.3 
13. Jerry Maguire (1996)
He had me at Hello, I think. Sports agent Tom Cruise loses everything when he decides to follow his heart rather than his pocketbook, except the (future) love of his life.
