Splash (1984)


It's your typical man meets fish story. In a twist on the mermaid myth, Daryl Hannah plays a mute and mysterious woman who develops a fascination for a lonely, lovelorn man in this literal fish out of water tale. What I love about this film is how romantic and out of step with reality it feels. It makes you believe anything is possible and transcends all logic. It's pure fantasy and an escape from an irrational, insufferable world. This is what the movies are all about.
