    im unsure if this counts as retro, but its driving me mad not knowing what this film is called.

    im thinking its 1980/90's a romance drama. basically a bloke (has a heart condition??) is in love with a co worker, and saves her from being attacked. hes a bit wierd and plays records all day where he lives in a basement!!! they fall in love *ahhhhh* she gets pregnant?!? but they end up going for a drive - where he dies!!!!

    i thought for a while the bloke might be kevin bacon - but now im not sure - maybe someone similar..........

    anyone who knows this film let me know!!!!!!!!! not to discriminate but me thinks its a bit of a chick flick!

      The movie you're thinking of is called Untamed Heart. It was released in 1993 and featured Christian Slater, Marisa Tomei, and Rosie Perez in the three lead roles. They all worked in a diner. As you said, late one night Tomei's character is mugged and harrassed and Slater rescues her. The fall in love. He's an orphan and thinks he has a baboon heart. (Baboon Heart was the original production title) He plays records for her. They go to a hockey game where he catches the puck. Upon returning home from the game, he dies in the car. It's a very touching comedy/romance with some winning performances by the leads. Don't be ashamed for loving a sweet film like this. It's an underrated gem from the 90's.
