Stories that rise above ordinary

The answer to this question changes with each new decade. In the 1980’s and 1990’s the answer to this question used to be the old black and white movies like Spellbound starring Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman, as well as Notorious staring Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant and there was also Rebecca starring Sir Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine. Since the 2000’s and now 2010’s---first it was the Pride and Prejudice mini-series starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth and then it became the Pride and Prejudice movie starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. At least the story was consistent these past two decades, if not the version…lol .
