"Romance Nouveau" ... My Top 10 Romantic Subversions In Film

	Some Like It Hot - Special Edition [1959] Buy new: £3.29 / Used from: £3.49 If only for the greatest final line in film comedy history, Billy Wilder's comedy of gangsters, jazz players and amateur transvestism is a bold, saucy joy to watch, not to mention Monroe's finest hour
	Bonnie And Clyde [1967] Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.69 Two of America's most infamous criminals lay waste to the Depression in a film that off-sets the violence with elegantly beautiful passages and incendiary chemistry between Beatty and Dunaway
	My Beautiful Laundrette [1985] Buy used from: £5.84 Stephen Frears' interracial gay romance set amidst Thatcherism at its most rife may appear dated, but its comments on racial, sexual and social politics elevate it beyond its humble production values
	There's Something About Mary [1998] Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.80 Bad taste knows no bounds with the Farrelly Brothers and their finest film's gross-out moments are kicked in to touch by winningly sweet performances from its lovestruck cast (particularly Diaz)
	The Princess And the Warrior [2001] Buy new: £4.97 Tom Tykwer's follow-up to "Run Lola Run" holds on to the same themes of fate and romance between outsiders with idiosyncratic flourishes and heart-rending performance (Potente and Fürmann are amazing)
	Mulholland Drive [2001] Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.50 David Lynch's scathing treatise on the sinister machinations of Hollywood as told through the tragic affair between dreamy ingenue Naomi Watts and voluptuous vixen Laura Elena Harring
	Y Tu Mama Tambien [2001] Buy used from: £5.00 Part sex comedy, part moving dissection of modern day Mexico, Alfonso Cuarón's heady road trip takes in some beautiful scenery and resonant messages amidst the copious nudity and romping
	Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind [2004] Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.18 Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman team up to create a fine piece of cyncial whimsy regarding love and memory, with cast-breakingly brilliant work from both Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet as the leads
	Shaun Of The Dead [2004] Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.16 Even in the event of a zombie apocalypse, as far as relationships go, everything remains the same, as amusingly well-put by the fine team of Pegg and Wright in this cult classic
	Shortbus [2006] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.94 John Cameron Mitchell anaylses modern America's obssession with sex and death in a remarkably tender and sweet tale of a bunch of New Yorkers trying to find their inner peace as well as their G-spots
