Favorite Romantic Movies

wilma — Wed, 13 Feb 2019 15:51:05 GMT

Since Valentine’s Day is tomorrow wondering what everyone’s favorite romantic movies are. To be honest it is not my favorite genre, but I do like “You’ve Got Mail” with Meg Ryan & Tom Hanks & “Pride & Prejudice” with Keira Knightly. The music in Pride & Prejudice is beautiful too.

Anyone else want to share?

To my surprise, I loved Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.

My favorite is “ The Big Sick “ with Kumail Nanjiani. It is funny an sweet and based on Kumail and his wife. My other favorites are “Pride and Prejudice” and “ The Way we Were .”

There are just so many, and lots of dramas that have very romantic parts, but three I always think of as favorites are:

"Return to Me" (with Minnie Driver and David Duchovny)

"Falling in Love" (with Meryl Streep and Robert DeNiro, one of the few movies where he plays a "normal, average" person)

and "Firelight" (a not so well known movie with Stephen Dillane, an actor I love. It's very "Jane Eyre"ish and very, very romantic.)

The Way We Were and Notebook. I must confess list of classic romance films would bore the majority. For example, Enchanted Cottage: Be still my heart.

Gone with the Wind and Sense and Sensibility (Emma Thompson's version) are my two picks. I'm not a big romance fan but these I do like.

A Room With À View is one of my favorite films ever. It is so sweet and endearing and I love to watch it again and again. The ending is so very romantic.

#1 on my list of romantic movies! But why do I always hold out hope that somehow, this time, Denys will live?

#2 A Little Romance- Diane Lane's debut performance. I think she was 12 or 13. Excellent acting by the kids, Laurence Olivier is terrific as a helpful pickpocket and the scenery of France and Italy is spectacular. It is now on my bucket list to kiss under the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, at sunset.

#3 The Sound of Music- When Maria and the Captain dance the Llandler, I turn to mush.

First one that comes to mind is Wuthering Heights with the great Laurence Olivier.

Hitchcock's "Notorious", with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman.

There's so much depth to the romance, along with the suspense. Bergman has one of her best roles-- she's not perfect here, she's a little damaged and self-destructive. She's the daughter of a notorious German spy, and Cary Grant starts out a little bit exploitative of her-- he's a Federal agent wanting to use her guilt to penetrate a Buenos Aires spy ring headed by Claude Rains.

When they do fall for each other, hard, there are complications. Best love scene ever is when Cary sneaks into Rains' mansion, rouses the poisoned Bergman, and in great danger, carries her out to freedom!
