The most messed up romantic movies

Springtime is the most romantic time of the year. The flowers begin to blossom. The groundhog has either seen his shadow or dramatically ignored it for personal reasons. The petrified, exhaust-saturated snow berms on the sides of the roads have started their annual thaw, bringing mummified pigeon corpses, sad fast food wrappers, abandoned syringes, and the promise that Valentine's Day is just around the corner.
Heart-tugging as all of that is, the promise of love can also be unseemly. At the shallow end of its imperfections, affections might be unrequited. For more unsettling fare, we'd invite you to turn to the debauched and macabre world of romantic cinema.
Popular love stories have never been beloved for their realistic portrayals of relationships, so it's easy to blur the line between a goofy premise and full on butterscotch lunacy. Here are a few of the times when romantic movies crossed that border in major ways.
