Top 5 Romances

Should have done this last week for Valentine's Day but here are my Top 5 favorite Romances.

5. True Romance

Tarantino's hybrid of Romeo and Juliet and Bonnie and Clyde for a modern time.















4. Grosse Pointe Blank

Cusack as a depressed hitman who goes to his highschool reunion to check on his ex-girlfriend

















3. High Fidelity

Cusack as a depressed record store owner who goes through his Top 5 break-ups to find out what's wrong.














2. The Fisher King

Gilliam's most understated. A shock jock and a homeless man find common ground and help each other find love. Not as sappy as it sounds.















1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Easily the most creative movie in years, nothing less for scribe Charlie Kaufman who brings really interesting perspective to the philosophy, "you can't keep love down."
