If you are tired of the predictable plots that the most romantic movies have, here are some movies with love stories ... 'out of the ordinary' !
Looong before "50 shades of grey", this movie shows a BDSM relationship. Lee Holloway (Maggie Gyllenhaal) finds a job as a secretary for an eccentric lawyer, James Spader, after being hospitalized for a dangerous self-harm incident. E. Edward Grey (J.Spader), turns out to be a dominant and makes his secretary his sexual submissive.
Diane Arbus (Nicole Kidman) is a photographer that seeks out the beauty in things and people that the society finds obnoxious. She starts a relationship with the man living upstairs (Robert Downey Jr.) who is suffering from hypertrichosis, which means that his whole body is covered with hair. (!)
Ok...I think it's obvious why this movie is on the list. Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) is a man who develops a relationship with Samantha (Scarlett Johansson) an intelligent computer operating system. As he spends a lot of time with Samantha, she (or it?) develops a unique personality and he eventually falls in love with her.
Joel (Jim Carrey) finds out that his ex-girlfriend, Climentine (Kate Winslet) has had her memories of their relationship erased from her brain via an experimental procedure. Feeling really desperate, he decides to have the same procedure done to himself. As he journeys back into his past, Joel regrets his decision...

3. Her (2013)

As he spends a lot of time with Samantha, she (or it?) develops a unique personality and he eventually falls in love with her.
"Falling in love is a crazy thing to do. It's kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity."

5. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
I know you're probably thinking that from all the disney movies (aka Beauty and the BEAST, The little MERMAID,...etc) why i picked Claude Frollo and Esmeralda as a "weird" love story. Actually this "love" story or better a lust, is one-sided as Esmeralda has obviously no feelings for him.Watching this movie as a kid , I have never realized that this guy has a huge crush on her. Well, i think it's pretty obvious if you listen to the song "Hellfire" :
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn
And also if you take under consideration that this dude burned the whole Paris in order to find her.
Frollo issues Esmeralda his final ultimatum: either she must accept his love or she shall hand her over to the authorities.
This scene from this song put the movie up for a PG-13 rating.Frollo issues Esmeralda his final ultimatum: either she must accept his love or she shall hand her over to the authorities.
