Originally meant to be a serious drama (called $3,000) about a man buying a prostitute for the night, this turned into a delightful romantic comedy in the hands of Garry Marshall and sent the career of star Julia Roberts into the stratosphere. Co-star Richard Gere didn't do too badly either — he'd been on a downward spiral before the role of tycoon Edward Lewis came along. On screen they make the “hooker falls for a millionaire in Beverly Hills” tale completely plausible, aided by Marshall's glossy direction, the hit-filled soundtrack, a perky screenplay from JF Lawton (who also scripted the thriller Under Siege) and hilarious support from Marshall stalwart Hector Elizondo.

Shameless Hollywood concoction of romance and glossy fantasy that was an immense popular success in 1990, proving that there remains an insatiable demand for escapist fairy tales.

All Time Modern Classic
Gere and Roberts are just brilliant in this modern fairytale. A true romance is born - even with the evil 'Stucky' in there to muddy the waters.
