9. Sabrina
Release Year: 1995

No, ’90s kids. Sabrina doesn’t star Melissa Joan Hart playing a teenage witch or have anything to do with the Archie comics character. Rather, the Harrison Ford starrer remakes the 1954 classic starring the iconic trio of Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden.
Sabrina stars Harrison Ford as Linus Larrabee, a businessman who simply does not have time for a relationship. However, when Sabrina Fairchild (Julia Ormond) begins dating Linus’ brother David (Greg Kinnear) and puts a damper on his work, Linus tries to make Sabrina fall in love with him. Along the way, he also falls in love with her.
When you remake a classic, audiences tend to judge a film harsher than usual. Sabrina didn’t reach the pop culture heights of its source material, as if any remake ever could. But with Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond, and Greg Kinnear in the lead, Sabrina remains one of the best romance movies on Amazon Prime Video!
