Moulin Rouge (2001)
The Movie: This Baz Luhrmann song-and-dance spectacle can cause sensory overload, but beyond the glammed-up Madonna and Elton John covers, it's a tragic love story.
Before the Kiss: Big-screen courtesans are notoriously resistant to poor, charming poets, at least initially. And Nicole Kidman's mercenary Satine is no exception.
After the Kiss: Having fireworks explode when lovers kiss may be clichéd, but Luhrmann's use of all the pyrotechnics that money can buy turned Ewan MacGregor's pucker into something magical. Afterwards, you'd think Kidman had discovered her very soul.
