This is my idea of a really romantic movie.

Great sets and fashions, lovely moody music and atmosphere, good plot and real romance, for a change, with terrifc performances.

Joe Pesci is wonderful as lonely man in love from afar with a beautiful and unattainable woman. His performance is so soulful and so nuanced. His eyes are unforgettably expressive. I've had a crush on him ever since I saw this way back when.
