This film has to be one of Johnny Depp's finest 94 minutes.

Benny and Joon (1993)

'Benny and Joon'(1993) is a romantic comedy about a mentally ill young woman and her over-protective brother. When Juniper Pearl (Mary Stuart Masterson) wins a Buster Keaton based cousin at a strange game of poker, the story unfolds into laughter,  romance and yet more laughter! Benjamin Pearl (Aidan Quinn), is against the idea of having to take on Sam (Depp), until he realises that he could be a useful housekeeper and carer of his sister. 

 Sam's silent and querky acts intrigue Joon and draw her into a more complex and ambitious life, and she does the same for him. But simple as it may seem, their yearning for each other must end as Benny orders Sam out of their lives.

This beautiful tale makes you want to cry with happiness and at the same time, weep with despair, as both Benny and Joon develop loves of their own.
