175 of 1001 Movies: Moonstruck (1987)

Moonstruck is probably one of the cutest movies I've seen, and that is shocking for me to say since I didn't expect to find a movie with Cher and Nicholas Cage as the stars that I found cute. I like how simple the story is though, and how it never gets vulgar in any way. I wouldn't even label this a romantic comedy. While comedic in some ways, it seems to be just the story of a family's life that can also be looked into in one night when the moon is big and bright.
