A Room With a View (1986)
Any movie that stars Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Judi Dench side by side wins points automatically with me. They are two of the greatest women ever to grace the screen. Add to that a very young Helena Bonham Carter, a foppish Daniel Day-Lewis, and much naked male carousing in the river (it is EM Forster after all) and it all adds up to quite an amusing movie. Sometimes a comedy of errors, sometimes a victim of the plot playing too much to the convenience of circumstance, overall it's an adorable romance and by the end, a feel-good story.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
