True Romance (1993)
We love True Romance, written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Tony Scott, but at least one element of it is pure Hollywood fantasy: After just four days on the job, Alabama (Patricia Arquette) meets and falls in love with her third customer, the sweet and handsome Clarence (Christian Slater).
Better still, an apparition of Elvis Presley (Val Kilmer) appears — and instructs Clarence to go confront Alabama’s evil, racially confused pimp (Gary Oldman) — and Clarence ends up killing him. Thus begins a true romance.
Is this the most realistic movie? Maybe not, but we’re truly in love with it.
