Music From Another Room (1997,  PG-13)
Music From Another Room
The lack of chemistry between the leads is compensated by Law's irresistible charm. Never has he been sweeter, more earnest and romantic. Beautiful metaphor about love being 'music from another room', hence the title. The irony of this movie is destiny being determined by our own actions. Very appropriate use of the song 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' by Savage Garden throughout the movie. Quirky characters abound in this romantic comedy.

Hors de Prix (Priceless)
Goes to show that love CAN be bought. Lots of name-dropping, but that's to be expected. Has a plot reminiscent of "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

A poignant movie set in beautiful Tuscany about how we don't always get what we want, but we do eventually, in ways we could never fathom.

Good-looking production. Generally well done, but heavy-handed at times.

26
Sabrina (1954,  Unrated)
27
The Mirror Has Two Faces (1997,  PG-13)
The Mirror Has Two Faces
A movie which has interesting notions about love and relationships, if somewhat a bit self-absorbed. Really incredible lines though.
28

36
Mean Girls (2004,  PG-13)
Mean Girls
Surprisingly good writing by Tina Fey.
37
A Good Year (2006,  PG-13)
A Good Year
A story of a man who revisits his past, only to find the lessons he learnt haven't been forgotten, just buried. The movie has its moments, with its lush, beautiful scenery as the backdrop. Sweet, touching and lovely.
38
Practical Magic (1998,  PG-13)
39
Benny & Joon (1993,  PG)
40
Legends of the Fall (1994,  R)
41
The Painted Veil (2006,  PG-13)
The Painted Veil
I feel that the movie is a depiction of an actual relationship, a depiction of the way that people fall in love with their illusions about somebody as much as with the real person. Then the pain and the difficulty and the disenchantment that comes when those things fall away. The notion of a couple getting through the difficult act of forgiveness and an unexpected chance at redemption make the movie more meaningful than it normally would. A love story told backwards.

Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009,  PG)
43
Titanic (1997,  PG-13)
