Directed by Lone Scherfig, 2011
"I love you Dexter. I just don't like you anymore."
Following the relationship between two friends; Emma and Dexter, visiting their lives on one day every year for twenty years, One Day covers lots of ground quickly.
"She [Emma] made you [referring to Dexter] decent, and in return, you made her so happy."
Dexter isn't very likable, Emma almost appears weak and silly for falling for him.
The end of the film strikes in reminding the audience how short life can be, and how time does not wait for those uncertain in love, or life.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
By Stephen Chbosky, 1999
"And in that moment, I swear we were infinite."
A coming-of-age tale, with comedy, romance and suitably embarrasing teenage fumblings with love and sex, and drugs and alcohol.
"We accept the love we think we deserve."
The problems encountered by teens on their journey through the trials and tribulations of school days - insecurity, bullying, unrequited love; can mirror challenges that people face throughout life. With that, The Perks of Being a Wallflower can reach out across age boundaries and appeal to all.
