"Sliding Doors" (1998) PG-13

Two universes unfold in writer-director Peter Howitt's romantic fantasy about alternate realities, fate and train timetables. In the first scenario, Londoner Helen Quilley (Gwyneth Paltrow) squeezes through the subway train's doors just in time, making it home to find her boyfriend (John Lynch) fooling around with another woman. In the second, she misses the train and returns to her flat none the wiser. Which is better?

This movie was a bit unusual from the norm. It portrays two scenarios of what might happen to this gal...if she missed her train or didn't miss her train. How would her romance turn out? I quite enjoyed this movie.
