While Nicholas Sparks’ saccharine story about the decades-long love between a boy and girl had various movie adaptations, it was the 2004 adaptation that elevated Sparks’ already popular story to new heights. The movie featured Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, who gave a compelling performance and wowed the audiences with their undeniable chemistry. The movie’s heartbreaking ending was an addition by the screenwriters, which added to the film’s timeless appeal.
