Moonstruck (1987)
In today’s age, rom-coms rarely win Oscars. But back in the late 1980s, Moonstruck won three: Best Actress (Cher), Best Supporting Actress (Olympia Dukakis), and Best Original Screenplay (John Patrick Shanley). Moonstruck deserved recognition because it perfectly balances its family comedy aspects with heartfelt romance.
Italian-American widow Loretta (Cher) lives with her parents (Olympia Dukakis and Vincent Gardenia) in Brooklyn, New York. Looking for romance, Loretta accepts a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Johnny (Danny Aiello). When Johnny goes to Italy to tend to his ailing mother, Loretta meets his fiery younger brother, Ronny (Longlegs star Nicolas Cage) and falls for him. Love is never easy. Sometimes, it’s even messy. But for Loretta, it’s everything.
