Margie (1946). High school senior Margie has fallen in love with Professor Fontayne, the new French teacher. Although professor Fontayne is attracted to Margie and gradually begins to fall in love with her, he refuses to act upon it. Toward the end of the movie, there is a scene where Professor Fontayne who is acting as a chaperone for the senior prom stops by Margie's home to pick up Margie and her date in order to transport them in his car to the prom. (You need to remember that when this movie was made few teens had cars, plus the setting is a small town, so chaperones picking up groups of students wasn't that unusual) Margie's grandmother opens the door and tells Prof. Fontaine that she knows he is in love with Margie and he should be Margie's date. When a shocked Prof. Fontayne tells grandma that not only is Margie a student, but that she is so much younger than he is, grandma retorts," nonsense, she won't be a student after next week's graduation and you're not more than 12 years older than she is."
I'll spoil the ending and tell you that Margie marries Prof. Fontayne. This film starred beautiful Jeanne Crain as Margie and Glenn Langan as Professor Fontayne. It was one of the most popular films of 1946. -

Ring of Fire (1961). A small town police officer (around 30, played by David Janssen) is taken hostage by a trio of thieves including a very attractive young woman(Joyce Taylor) and held in an isolated forest. He manages to not only escape but holds the trio at gunpoint throughout the night until he is located by backup officers. During the night there is a lot of sexual chemistry between the girl and the officer. They kiss but leave it at that. When the officer's backup manages to arrive, the girl, who is actually only about 16 or 17, makes a false charge of statutory rape against the officer. She does this mostly out of fear because she was facing a charge of kidnapping an officer which carried the death penalty.
After she is taken to the town jail a forest fire begins and blocks all of the evacuation routes to safety trapping the townspeople. The girl and the officer manage to find a way out of town and also save the populace as well. The sexual chemistry between the two still remains and they are head over heels in love with each other by the end of the movie. I can't seem to find this film available on DVD or VHS but I have seen it about four or five times on t.v. Granted, it is a B movie, but I still found it enjoyable. -

I Walk the Line (1970). Gregory Peck plays Henry Tawes, the local sheriff of a small Tennessee town. Sheriff Tawes is in his mid-forties and for his entire life he has been a law-abiding, law-enforcing man with strong moral values. That is until Alma enters his life. Alma is poor, uneducated, the daughter of a moonshiner, and also only 16. Sheriff Tawes not only walks the line with Alma-he goes ahead and crosses the line. I don't want to tell you how this movie ends, but you can be sure that one poor decision leads to another.
This is a very well-made movie that is much underrated. Gregory Peck is great. The soundtrack uses Johnny Cash songs (hense the title) and other cast members include Ralph Meeker, Charles Durning, and Tuesday Weld as Alma. Peck was 54 when he made the film. Weld was 25. -

Beau-pere (1981). 29 year old Remi has been living with Martine and Martine's daughter,14 year old Marion, for the last several years. When Martine is killed in a car accident Marion insists that she be allowed to remain with Remi. Marion's father allows her to do this in order not to disrupt her from her familiar surroundings. Marion and Remi are gradually drawn together emotionally until they do become lovers. In some ways this film bears a striking resemblance to Lolita but in other ways it seems as if the situations are reversed. For example, in Beaue-pere, it is Marion who is the more mature person, with Remi so imature he can't even hold a job or keep food in the house. The film does ask some interesting questions such as when maturity really begins. 34 year old Patrick Dewaere stars as Remi and lovely 15 year old Aaiel Besse Played Marion.
This film won critically aclaim despite the controversy it aroused. It is very well-made and if you like Lolita you will probably like Beau-pere. The film is available in both VHS and DVD, however, I must warn you that in the DVD there is a part where the subtitles get ahead of themselves for about 20 minutes so that you're not sure which character is saying what. This doesn't happen in the VHS version. This is also rather a rare movie so it's rather pricey.The DVD is about $50.00 and the VHS is around $35.00 -

Okay I was recently reading a plot description for a movie a few months back, and I can't seem to find it again. Maybe someone can help me out here.
It goes something like this: A woman meets a man and he starts to live with her and her daughter. Her daughter does not approve of this, and resents his presence, but then she starts to fall in love with him.
When I read this, I was like, "Oh My God, I HAVE to see this!" but stupidly, I didn't write the movie down.
