MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE (1985)
Daniel Day-Lewis had his first starring role in this low-key 1980s British LGBT romance.
ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953)
Audrey Hepburn is a princess slumming it with Gregory Peck’s American reporter in this high-class 1950s version of the same movie that Netflix has made like ten times already.
THE PRINCESS BRIDE (1987)
There are very few perfect movies in the world. This is one of them.
LOVE & BASKETBALL (2000)

IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (2000)
An absolutely gorgeous romance about missed opportunities set in 1960s Hong Kong.
ANNIE HALL (1977)

MODERN ROMANCE (1981)
A romantic comedy about two people who should not, under any circumstances, get together. An interesting exercise, or completely insufferable? Both?

Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are fun to hang out with, and this movie is very funny, but I have many problems. I am a dude.
BORN YESTERDAY (1950)
The only movie I’ve ever seen where the guy likes the girl more after she puts on glasses.
