Movie poster for "A Room With A View." A young man and woman sit in the frame of an open window with a view of Florence, Italy in the background. The man has his face buried in the woman's neck as she reads a letter.

A Room With a View

Recommended by: Jen Howell

Release Year: 1986

Runtime: 117 min

Genres: Comedy, Coming-of-Age, Romance

The Pitch: Before he wrote the Oscar-winning adapted screenplay for "Call Me By Your Name", James Ivory was directing lush period pieces full of passion, perhaps none so exquisite as this love triangle featuring Helena Bonham Carter as a young woman torn between her staid and proper suitor, played impeccably by Daniel Day-Lewis, and a free-thinking heartthrob played by Julian Sands.

Ratings

Funny: Light Comedy

Scary: Not Scary
