Moulin Rouge  — 

The main song in this movie Come What May sums up the movie perfectly.  Come what may, I will love you until the end of time.  The plot was basic, naive dreamer and writer Christian (Megregor), falls for hardened cabert actress and courtesean Satine  (Kidman). Thrown into the mix is a wealthy Duke, determined to have Satine as his own.  With the fate of a play written by Christian and funded by the Duke on the line Satine and Christian must hide their affair from the rest of the world They're love is tested and pushed to the brink and at the last moment, well, I wouldn't want to spoil the ending.  It is a bit silly in places and at others seems a bit unorganized, but when put together it makes for one of the most touching and emotionally pulling movies i've seen to date.  The music is perfect, they took famous songs and put their own spin on them and when added to the tone and richness of Megregor and Kidmans voices it still gives me goosebumps.  This is a must see for the romantic at heart.
