Love Story (1970)


The story is a simple one. Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy marries girl, boy loses girl. We all know how it goes, and the famous line, "Love means never having to say you're sorry," is almost a parody at this point. But this film, although simple, has a lot going for it. Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw as the two lovers have great chemistry and it's fun watching them verbally spar with one another. They fight and make up and share heartbreak like many couples, but there's a sincerity in this story that sets it apart and makes this film stay with you. There's a reason why this has become a classic.
