“Endless Love”
A small-town girl (Gabriella Wilde) and a charismatic boy (Alex Pettyfer) experience instant fascination that sparks a passionate romance, but their relationship is made difficult by parents who try to tear them apart. Just a heads up, this is the 2014 version, not the one from 1981.

“She’s the Man”
