London, Feb 10 (ANI): Pretty Woman, the 1990 romance starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, has landed the top spot in a list of favourite Valentine’s Day movies.
Picked up by over 3,500 men and women in the UK, the film pipped other flicks like Four Weddings And A Funeral, Sleepless In Seattle and Notting Hill in the Radio Times poll.
Film critic Barry Norman said: “What develops here is a modern-day fairy tale, a cross between Pygmalion and Cinderella for a raunchier age, an endearing love story in which masculine and feminine wish fulfilment are made celluloid.”
Four Weddings And A Funeral, with Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell, took second place for both genders, reports The Mirror.
Other films in the list were When Harry Met Sally, Some Like It Hot and Amelie. (ANI)
