- DirectorJean-Pierre JeunetStarsAudrey TautouMathieu KassovitzRufusDespite being caught in her imaginative world, Amelie, a young waitress, decides to help people find happiness. Her quest to spread joy leads her on a journey where she finds true love.Gosh, it feels strange to consider "Amelie" as a romantic comedy because it's always meant so much more to me. It's a cinematic masterpiece that explores loneliness, eroticism, bullying, parental neglect, introversion, creativity, and isolation. The romance was hugely important to me of course, but when I saw this film in the theater at age 13, all I could think was "Wow, there's someone out there who truly understands me.".
- DirectorNorman JewisonStarsCherNicolas CageOlympia DukakisLoretta Castorini, a bookkeeper from Brooklyn, New York, finds herself in a difficult situation when she falls for the brother of the man she has agreed to marry.When I initially saw this movie on cable, several years after it premiered in theaters, I didn't know what to make of it. I hadn't seen anything like it and that baffled me. Today, I understand the truth: "Moonstruck" is undeniably brilliant. It's completely over-the-top and bizarre in ways that feel refreshingly honest and sincere, Nicholas Cage and Cher have electric chemistry and the family dynamic (usually half-yelling, always in each other's business) lovingly reminds me of my own. Also: "Snap out of it!"
- DirectorSharon MaguireStarsRenée ZellwegerColin FirthHugh GrantBridget Jones is determined to improve herself while she looks for love in a year in which she keeps a personal diary.Like "Amelie", I saw "Bridget Jones's Diary" in theaters when it premiered and a lot of the content went over my thirteen year old head. I hadn't experienced the Spanx vs. thong conflict before a date yet and I definitely didn't get how deeply the British commit to their costume parties. However, throughout high school, I deeply empathized with Bridget's nearly routine humiliation, self-doubt, witty sarcasm, and seemingly unending quest for self-improvement. And to this day, I still think Colin Firth saying, "I like you. Just as you are." is the single sweetest, sexiest line I've heard in a movie.
- DirectorGarry MarshallStarsGoldie HawnKurt RussellEdward HerrmannA cruel but beautiful heiress mocks and cheats a hired carpenter. When she gets amnesia after an accident, he decides to introduce her to regular life by convincing her that they're husband and wife.I LOVE films that feature mistaken identity, imposters or amnesia!
