Ang Lee's reworking of the Jane Austen novel. Two sisters have very differing opinions on love but neither's love life turns out how they had planned.

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.

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.

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.

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.
