14 Movies You're Missing Out On
Gaurdianlv

Call me hopeless and subjective, but most of these are Romantic and Independent Dramas. I hadn't realized my particular taste in movies until just now.

1. Glitch

Genres: Comedies, Romantic Comedies, Independent Movies

Indie app developers Will (Lucas Neff) and Harper (Blake Silver) are rounding the corner on their big break when an app much-to-similar to theirs is released. The two choose to hire Keith (Levi Fiehler), an attorney, and stumble across his girlfriend, Sophie (Maiara Walsh), in a coffee shop. Will inevitably falls for Sophie as Keith fights for the right to buy her a new sofa, which holds more weight than you might think.

2. The Decoy Bride

Genres: Comedies, Romantic Comedies, Romantic Movies, British Movies

Katie (Kelly Macdonald), a woman from Hegg Island, Scotland living with regret and cellulite is chosen to be the "decoy bride" at Lara Tyler (Alice Eve) and James Arber's (David Tennant) wedding in a desperate attempt to avoid the paparazzi on the most important day of their lives. As it turns out, the prop and the prince despise each other and the last thing they want is to be around each other for another minute, then they find out they're stuck together. It's a bit of a modern and dark twist on Much Ado About Nothing.

3. Before We Go

Genres: Dramas, Independent Dramas, Romantic Dramas

Captain America strikes again but this time in the form of a trumpet player. Nick (Chris Evans), a street performer, runs into Brooke (Alice Eve) after she misses her 1:30 train to get back home. Brooke reluctantly accepts Nick's offer to get her back home by 7:00 and, in the meantime, the two get to know each other. It's basically every romance movie except it's not annoying.

4. It's Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong

Genres: Dramas, Independent Dramas, Romantic Dramas, Independent Movies

When Ruby (Jamie Chung), an aspiring fashion designer, visits Hong Kong for the first time she runs into Josh (Bryan Greenberg), a would-have-been writer turned corporate. The two have an unmistakeable connection as they spend the whole night walking around and talking before she has to go back to California. A year later they run into each other again on a ferry in Hong Kong where Josh discovers that Ruby has lived there for a few months. Timing lords over these two the first time they meet but they find they can put up a fight the second time around.

5. Jackie & Ryan

Genres: Dramas, Romantic Dramas, Romantic Movies

Who knew Katherine Heigl could sing? When Ryan (Ben Barnes), a drifter, runs into Jackie (Katherine Heigl), a former country music star fighting for custody of her daughter, the two form an unbreakable bond as she helps him find his way to musical success and he inspires her to stand up to her estranged husband and even to herself.

6. Cyberbully

Genres: Dramas, Teen dramas, Social Issue Dramas

You might remember this title from when it first aired on ABC Family. Gut-wrenching, humbling and terrifyingly honest, Cyberbully illuminates the terrifying reality of what it is like to be a part of the fifty-two percent who are bullied online. Taylor Hillridge (Emily Osment) joins a popular social media site at her school for fun and discovers she is the target for heartless jokes and cruel rumors that have been spread around the school. Cyberbully is a powerful and harrowing narrative that provides little embellishment on the reality of bullying (outside of theatrical perfomance).

If you've not already seen this movie I strongly recommend it. Don't let the ABC and Disney affiliations throw you off!

7. Keith

Genres: Dramas, Dramas based on Books, Independent Dramas

Your eyes do not deceive you. That is teenage heartthrob, Jesse McCartney. Keith is the movie adaptation of the short story, "Keith", by Ron Carlson. Jack-of-all-trades and star student Natalie (Elisabeth Harnois) is paired up with Keith (Jesse McCartney) in her science class. As time goes on, her efforts to stay focused and organized fail when Keith somehow worms his way into her life. Although his presence was unwanted at first, there is something about him that she needs to understand. Keith is not what you expect it to be. If there's ever a movie where every detail matters, it's this one.

Watch the trailer here.

8. Atonement

Genres: Dramas, Dramas based on Books, Dramas based on Literature, Military Dramas

Based on the book by Ian McEwan, Atonement tells the story of Cecilia Tallis (Keira Knightley) and Robbie Turner (James McAvoy) as they face the hardship of misunderstandings, lies, love and war all rooting from one little girl- Cecilia's little sister, Briony (Saoirse Ronan). Time stretches on farther and farther away from what could have been as the dots connect for Robbie and Cecilia. All roads point to one moment in time.

9. How I Live Now

Genres: Dramas, Dramas based on Books, Dramas based on contemporary literature

Waiting for the other shoe to drop, Daisy (Saoirse Ronan) is shipped off from New York to the English countryside by her father to stay with her Aunt and distant cousins. Troubled and guilt-ridden her whole life, she slowly finds comfort and purpose in her efforts to escape the terrorist war with Piper (Harley Bird) on her way to finally living a happy life with Eddie (George MacKay) and Piper's dog, Jet.

10. Die Verlorene Zeit (Remembrance)

When Tomasz manages to steal a guard's uniform the two embark upon the impossible. They successfully escape the camp and get engaged in the process. They had planned to spend their lives together until they were told they were both dead. Decades later, the story unfolds. Beautiful, heartbreaking and hopeful, Jerzy Bielecki and Cyla Cybulska, the couple the film is based on, lived to tell their story of love, loss and survival. The most sensational aspect of this film is that it is all true.

As soon as he finds out, he bets his editor he can get a juicy and in-depth story on her. When in Rome romance is bound to fall into the mix. (That was so cheesy)
