Pretty Woman
There can’t be many occasions when a movie in which a hooker meets a millionaire who sweeps her off her feet holds such great appeal to women .
Romeo and Juliet (1996)
A classic tale of love and tragedy, Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet is an updated version of Shakespeare’s famous play (which still retains its original dialogue) featuring “star-crossed” lovers Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Juliet (Claire Danes) who fall in love in spite of their families' hatred for each other.
