Warning: Spoilers
Up Close and Personal was released in 1996 and stars Michelle Phiefer and Robert Redford and tells the tale of an inspiring news- reporter named Tally(played by Phiefer)who gets offered a job by Wallace Justice(Robert Redford) after he seen an audition tape that she had for her job interview and ends up getting hired while later falling in love. But when Wallace has to travel far away for a while to do a news report will there love for each other be under jeopardy. Overall I have never seen this film before till now and I gotta say I really enjoyed it. The chemistry between Robert and Michelle was great,the story was very heavy with its news reports and on journalism and the life and death that comes with it as its not as easy as you think. With music from Celine Dion "Because You Love Me" and with a great cast that also includes Grease's Stockhard Channing and Michelle's sister DeeDee Phiefer. Try and track this film down and see what you think of it.

Hankies at the ready for this one though as the climax towards the end of the film will have you in tears.
