"Pretty Woman"
Richard Gere oozes effortless romance. Extremely confident. Everything is always easy and requires no work, whether it's sipping coffee, taking a shower, getting dressed, or even fighting/arguing. Another intriguing element identical to Gaston is money. Having so much money you don't think about spending it. The accounts are endless. At one point Gere's character says to a sales clerk, "We are here to spend an obscene amount of money." He is aware of how much he has, and is also aware of how it is perceived to people who don't have as much. Sexy.
Still with everything he has - successful corporation, all the money in the world, any woman he desires - he still hasn't truly loved. The beauty of the story comes with the last kind of person he could imagine falling in love with - a whore. "Money Can't Buy Me Love" comes to mind.
