    I was thinking over the weekend as i was watching a couple of movies that there are very few movies (that ive seen in anyway) that dont have some sort of love story or love interest imbedded into the movie in some way, the same could apply for songs also.

    Can you think of any?

    Platoon, I'd say a good few war films are without love interests but if you count soldiers showing pictures of their ladies back home that would rule a lot of them out.

    He has a girlfriend at the start though, doesn't he? Your one in the forensics gear?

    The best movies don't have a love interest,Jaws,Sin City,Bronson for example.
    What's worse is the Hollywood formula for a happy ending.You can see it coming a mile off,will it all end in disaster?will it he'll.The ruination of so many films.

    Maybe not Sin City when I think of it.

    Apollo 13 doesn't have a love story. Yeah, there are some wifey bits, but they are already married.

    from uncle Monty's perspective it's a story of unrequited love though? ;)
