AMÉLIE
One of the all-time greatest romantic comedies and one of the most purely delightful films ever made, this French dazzler is a surreal and visually flourishing tale of love and kindness in magnificent Paris. The mischievous and adorable Amelie (Audrey Tautou) makes her life about bringing happiness to the eccentric cast of characters around her, doing little things that mean the world to them. Along the way, she leaves clues for her secret love to track her down, and it all makes for an irresistibly charming love story.

ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND This brilliant love story unfolds uniquely through memory with an engaging perspective and visual flair, moving from the bitter end of the relationship back to the touching beginning, cleverly and poignantly exploring the subconscious and destruction of one's past along the way. After breaking up, the bohemian Clementine (Kate Winslet) uses a service to have emotionally distant Joel (an impressively dramatic Jim Carrey) removed from her memory, which he then does with her. But as he relives the memories in his mind during their erasal, he tries to stop the process upon realizing he doesn't want to lose his love for her.

HER
In a not-too-distant future, the lonely Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) and his sentient operating system (Scarlett Johansson) fall in love, but rather than it seeming weird or pathetic, "Her" plays this romance between man and machine
software with sublime wonder. Writer/director Spike Jonze builds a fascinating, exceptionally developed world and visualizes it with crisp vibrancy. The film speaks multitudes about our growing relationship with technology and decreasing connection with other people, but also provides profound insight into love and human emotion.
BEGINNERS
(Christopher Plummer) comes out of the closet and embraces love with a younger man for the last few years of his life, which is told simultaneously as Oliver finds love with an enchanting French actress (Mélanie Laurent) after Hal's death.
This tender and personal romantic dramedy tells two very different love stories, both of them extremely heartfelt, uniquely illustrated with a captivating yet subtle amount of quirk, and following deep emotional connection after new beginnings. Oliver's (Ewan McGregor) 75-year-old father Hal
THE SPECTACULAR NOW High school romance has never felt so honest, raw and intensely relatable as in "The Spectacular Now."

Then he starts dating the shy and studious nice-girl Aimee (Shailene Woodley). As she falls in love with him he might just grow up, if he can open his heart before getting stuck on his current path to nowhere.
