The Film: Pretty Woman (1990)

The Inappropriate: Ahh, if only all of us hookers had a nice rich man who wanted to pay us thousands simply to sit in a posh penthouse for a week.

Slathered in Hollywood sheen, this relationship is rotten to the core. Edward pays for sex, makes Vivian conform to his image of a woman, and generally brainwashes her into thinking he’s doing her a favour.

How They Make It Work: Edward “saves” Vivian from herself, and then she “rescues him right back”. Um, yeah, whatever. It’s all happy, alright? Don’t question Hollywood.
