Hollywood movies are not only about kissing and cooing! Before love can conquer, there must be redemption, struggle, mayhem and consuming mishaps.

Most Hollywood movies feature kissing and romantic scenes or a happily ever after but also failed romance and lots of hardships. But in many surprising cases, an unhappy ending is sometimes what makes a romantic masterpiece thrilling.
