I hope someone can help me with this.
The only thing I can remember about the movie is that there was a woman who was cursed with a pig's nose. There was a guy who fell in love with her despite her ugly nose and they kissed and the spell was broken and she became her beautiful self again.
Thanks for your help.

What you are asking about has the identical plot of Penelope, starring
Christina Ricci from 2006. Penelope (2006) - Plot summary (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472160/plotsummary)
Many years ago, the Wilhern family's maid got pregnant from the son of her master, but he is not allowed to marry her because she would not be "one of their kind". The woman commits suicide and her witch mother curses the daughters of the family that would have the face of a pig until one of them finds true love with one who will love her faithfully. Penelope Wilhern is the first legitimate girl after generations and born with nose of pig. Her mother Jessica hides her from the world in the Wilhern mansion, and Penelope is raised alone, with no friends. When she becomes a young woman, her parents try to find a wealthy bachelor to marry her and break the curse. Meanwhile the tabloid reporter Lemon and the aristocrat Edward Humphrey Vanderman III that have issues against the Wilhern family hire the gambler Max to meet Penelope and take a picture of her. But their scheme does not work as planned.

The movie you are asking about is called "Arthur the King". Pretty bad movie but hey, it was the 80's!
