If Lucy Fell (1996)

This is almost a cheat, because I saw this movie years ago...but I hardly remembered the storyline, so I decided I should be able to count it if I watched it again. Eric Schaeffer....my man... I love this guy, in kind of a perverse sort of way. He is strange...he seems to write himself into these movies in almost the same character all the time. Average guy, experience massive unrequited love for some model woman. And interestingly enough..he always gets her at some point, which I can totally see, because his bizarre confidence makes him extremely attractive to me. I think this is the best part about him. In any case, this was a good one, He and Lucy (sarah Jessica Parker) have a suicide pact if they don't find true love by the time of her 30th birthday..they will jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. Ben Stiller has a minor role as a bizarre artist (the kind of role I hate him in), and Elle McPherson plays the model that Joe (eric Schaeffers character) is in love with...I thought this was a great movie, stood the test of time for me, I clearly still like it. I wish he would do more, he is really interesting.
