A whip-smart secretary, she's aching for more-attending diction classes, and commuting on the Staten Island ferry while dealing with sleazy Wall Streeters along the way. The main character, Tess McGill (played by Melanie Griffith), is a big dreamer with a rock-solid work ethic and more than a little chutzpah.

I have a theory that all NYC transplants have a movie that made us want to move here from wherever we grew up, and for me, it is Mike Nichols' '80s-era masterpiece (set against Carly Simon's beatific theme song). Moonstruck is a story about big love and second chances-and about how some things, whether curses or miracles, are in the eye of the beholder. The passionate, moody opposite of his brother, Ronny draws Loretta in and she falls very quickly into a romance that goes against all she thinks she stands for. While Johnny is on a trip to Sicily to visit his dying mother, Loretta seeks out Johnny's estranged brother, Ronny (played by Nicolas Cage), to invite him to the wedding. When the sweet but obsequious Johnny Cammareri (played by Danny Aiello) proposes properly, she decides this is her chance to get things right (small problem: she doesn't love him). Loretta Castorini (Cher) is a bookkeeper in her late 30s who lost her husband several years prior she's convinced the marriage was cursed because they got married at City Hall.
Whenever I watch this movie, I thrill that it was shot near my picturesque Italian-American neighborhood in Brooklyn.
