The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) Directed by Woody Allen

Summary: A meek waitress's fascination with the cinema intensifies when the leading man in her favorite film literally steps out of the screen to woo her away from her abusive husband.

Things I Liked: The imaginative elements of the story. The acting. The satisfyingly unexpected ending.

Things I Didn't Like: The film's far less interesting (albeit fully realized) subplots. I also felt that the film might have benefited from having fewer incidental characters.
