#69. Love Story (1970)


Director: Arthur Hiller
Screenplay: Ernest Segal
Cast: Ryan O'Neil, Allie McGraw, John Marley, Ray Millard, Russell Nype, Katharine Balfour, Sydney Walker, Robert Mdicka, Tommy Lee Jones

Quote: "Loves means never having to say you're sorry."

This unconventional romance tells the heartbreaking story of Oliver Barrett IV (Ryan O'Neil), a rich Harvard hockey player and the simple Jennifer Cavalleri (Allie McGraw), a musically inclined, steady-in-cash Radcliffe student. As the movie progresses we follow the ups and downs of Oliver and Jennifer's relationships: the facts that they are not approved by his parents, why she can't get pregnant, their struggle for money and the biggest disaster of them all...death.

OSCAR winner for Best Original Score
