"Charley" is a wonderful love story.

 

Cliff Robertson is brilliant in it, and so is the actress who plays his love interest, her name escapes me.

 

I haws immersed in my MA studies when I saw it, and as struck by the accuracy of his portrayal.

 

Let me know if you like it. Wish I could find it "On Demand" today, but I need a nap (Grandchildren Weekend!)


@violann  Gosh what a great film that I haven't seen in decades. Awakenings is similar with the De Niro/Penelope Ann Miller relationship. 😢

@violann   I read the book Flowers for Algernon, prior to watching the movie Charly which was based on the book.  I must say the "movie" did a good job following the "book" story.

Not exactly a love story but Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore in The Big Lebowski. 😄

"Love With the Proper Stranger" - 1963 starring Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen.  Natalie is pregnant by a man she hardly knows.  Then she meets Steve McQueen.  Excellent love story set in Manhattan.

Re: Unusual Love Story Movies

An eighties movie "Electric Dreams" is a love triangle involving a man, woman and sentient computer. The movie stars Virginia Madsen and Lenny Van Dohlen. It's not well known, and might sound strange, but has a very good musical score and is entertaining. The movie is ahead of its time with the computer.
