Moonstruck (1987)

When there's a full moon over Brooklyn, anything can happen, as it does in this now classic romantic comedy starring Cher in her Oscar-winning role of Loretta. Danny Aiello plays Loretta’s fiancé Johnny Cammareri, the duty-bound son who must visit his dying mother in Italy. Nicholas Cage is the love-struck brother Ronny, who has never forgiven Johnny for the accident that crippled his hand. After a torrid affair, Loretta tries to avoid Ronny out of respect to Johnny, but she just can’t resist. Meanwhile, Loretta's father is fooling around with his mistress while her mother is wooed by a college professor, and her grandfather’s dogs howl at the spell-binding moon. Moonstruck also won Oscars for Olympia Dukakis as Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay for John Patrick Shanley.
