Moonstruck
At least once per year I watch one of my all-time favorite films--- "Moonstruck".God, how I love that movie. The film, starring : Cher, Nicolas Cage and Olympia Dukakis is a wonderful love story.
Perhaps I'm biased. I've got a crush on Cher. Yes, she's drop dead gorgeous, but I love her personality, not just in this film but, over her entire fantastic career.
Cher won an Oscar Award for "Best Actress" in Moonstruck.

That is a wonderful film, Bakerman. I do not like Nicholas Cage - he makes my flesh crawl, whatever he is in - but Cher is brilliant. She is as good an actress as she is a singer.Another film of hers that I frequently watch is 'Suspect' with Liam Neeson and Dennis Quaid.

Re: Moonstruck
Muddy, I'm glad you enjoyed it but I found the film to be rather touching.Cher who was about to make a huge mistake by marrying Johnny (the older brother) is saved by Ronnie (Nicolas Cage).
Ronnie who was lost in grief, and doomed to a life of misery, is saved by Cher when she rekindles his passion for life, love and the opera.
Ronnie's deeply heartfelt speech to Cher, on the freezing sidewalk outside his apartment, was, profound, when he said, "All those story books are bullsh*t. We are not here to live happily ever after. We are not perfect. Snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us. We are here to ruin ourselves and break our hearts, maybe by loving the wrong people. And then die. I love you. Now, I want you to go upstairs and get in my bed."
Wow ! What a great passionate call for love. One could feel the hormones raging. Though Cher didn't want to admit it , she also felt the hormones sweeping her off her feet.
That kind of passion happens once in a lifetime.
