Educating Rita (1983)

Rita wants to escape her Liverpudlian working-class life, so she decides to do it by getting an education in English Lit. Her tutor Frank doesn't know what hit him until it’s too late. I love the play it was based on, and the screenplay was penned by the same person (Willy Russell), so it’s no surprise that I love this. It has a universal truth at its heart that makes me glad and sad at the same time. It breaks my heart and gives me the hope I need to stitch it back together.
