THE LIST

The Rom Com - Punch Drunk Love (Barry and Lena)
A bizarrely funny trip into a romance that met cute and succeeded against all odds.

Young Love - Romeo and Juliet (Romeo and Juliet)
Franco Zeffirelli’s beautiful adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic tale of star crossed lovers, performed by teenagers in a way that displays all the passion and angst that the words imply.

Happy Endings - City of Lights (The Flower Girl and The Tramp)
A man goes unseen and unnoticed finding someone he hopes to be seen by and doing the right thing even when he’s not.

The Odd Couple - Harold and Maude (Harold and Maude)
Despite their diametric opposition, their relationship is tender, heartfelt, and believable.

Second Chances - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Joel and Clementine)
An exploration of why relationships turn from success to failure and how our past can write our future.

Honesty - The Before Trilogy (Jesse and Celine)
Real happiness and love and passion and doubt and pain not in the tragicomic exaggeration of the romantic comedy or melodrama, told over the course of years that have actually passed.

Falling Out of Love - Scenes from a Marriage (Marianne and Johan)
Six episodes over the course of ten years, beginning with a self-described "perfect couple” and ending with their eventual divorce and then... well... you'll see.

The Near Miss - Brief Encounter (Laura and Alec)
Two people who would have just previously told you they were happy in their relationship really grappling with the feelings that emerge when they meet.

The Near Miss - In The Mood for Love (Chow and Su)
This film paints with the finest of brushes - detailing the longing and romance capable with simply a glance. It's also a heart-wrenching poem to a love that almost was.

Lost Love - Casablanca (Rick and Ilsa)
The chemistry, the characters, the dialogue and the heartbreak are all permanently etched into our memory and our hearts.
