Are there any movies like this? I can't think of any.

Taming of the Shrew and everything that is basically the same story, like 10 Things I Hate About You. So like a good half of all teen romance.

Also breakfast club

I've seen 10 things I hate about you, I only remember how utterly awkward the final scene was.

Breakfast Club is the classic example. Word emo chick was so hot and awesome and then just becomes… blah.

There's actually very few straight examples of Beautiful All Along. It's a trope that is played with, but mostly parodied and lampshaded, sometimes even purposefully inverted to make the point that Anon is making here.

Shrek if you play it in reverse
