A lot of the John Hughes "teen" movies -- "Pretty in Pink" etc, -- go to that issue, sometimes with benefit to the class-crossers and sometimes not.
Dudley Moore's "Arthur" and sequels take a particular bent. As does "Pretty Woman" -- (ever read about the version of that, as pitched? $6000, A love triangle: Julia Robert's character reaches and teaches the Richard Gere character enough about getting in touch with his feelings and respecting his partner that Gere can finally reconcile with his (uncast and unseen in the final version) rich fiance', leaving the hooker back on the street after the week, only $6000 to show for her efforts.
Then there is how Princess Leia redeems the soul of smuggler Han Solo ...
