They fall in love, and they wrap things up in one reasonably compelling movie instead of three horrendous ones.

Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bollywood incarnation of Romeo and Juliet is oversaturated with drama and violence, but at the center are the painfully attractive Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh (now a real-life couple). They look ready to rip each other's extravagant clothes off in every single scene, and you'll be rooting for them to go through with it.

Betty Blue

Everything changes when Zorg (Jean-Hugues Anglade) meets Betty (Béatrice Dalle), a fiery woman whose passion verges on madness when they run away together. Betty experiences flashes of violence and depression, and as the film progresses Zorg must decide what's best for his wife's happiness -- and his own. Also, the original French title -- 37° 2 le matin -- refers to the temperature of a pregnant woman's belly in the morning, so there's that.

Chocolat
