Leaving Las Vegas was romantic? Which part? the scene where Elisabeth Shue gets raped and beaten or the one where Nicholas Cage burns all his stuff in his backyard?

I don't disagree that she is undeserving of him. But she had already come to the conclusion that she loved him before seeing his digs ... seeing the digs only served to seal the deal.

Yea, it sealed the deal all right. SHe was willing to have feelings for him but to leave him without further contact unbtil she sees the house, and what a house it is! Wait, maybe she has been too hasty!

I don't disagree with your putting it on the list, becasue women love the story, but it has always bothered me.

That shows your wife had modest expectations (a beatle is a dream car? this is a humble woman) which is a very positive trait. Lizzie (wasn't her name lizzie?) pretends to be true to her feelings and love, blah, blah blah, but finds D'Arcy's house to be Ab Fab and succumbs to the allure of wealth. That is not romantic, to me.

Denigrade Elizabeth Bennett all you want, but if you say one bad thing about Catherine Morland then there will be hell to pay.

High Fidelity has to be on the list.

Seriously, Leaving Las Vegas maybe should have been #1 on my list. When she gives him the flask as a present, that is one of the most powerful moments in any movie I've seen.

Why in the hell is "16 Candles" not on anyone's list?
