If the sappiness of movies such as Pretty Woman and Sleepless In Seattle makes you vomit, consider one of the following as a Valentine's Day alternative. They feature plots in which the lovers don't end up together.

Affairs: Bridges Of Madison County, Damage, Doctor Zhivago, Fatal Attraction, The Graduate, Summertime.

Big-time downers: Leaving Las Vegas, Looking For Mr. Goodbar, Shadowlands.

Insecure guys: Annie Hall, Modern Romance.

Nothing but trouble: Gone With The Wind, Hot Spot.

Odd combinations: Harold And Maude, Romeo And Juliet, A Star Is Born, Sunset Boulevard, Swept Away, The Way We Were.

Title is telling: Love Story, My Best Friend's Wedding, Nine And A Half Weeks, The Omega Man (this one is not a pure love story, but it's a heartbreaker, both literally and figuratively).

Tough choices: Casablanca, Remains Of The Day.
