Some of most romantic movies
Love in air
'em!
Two For The Road
----------------
I don't remember the date, probably in the late 60s or early 70s.
Stars
Anthony Hopkins and Audrey Hepburn. In a series of mixed-order scenes
it
details their life together -- from young hitchhikers in France to
successful
(and stressed-out) archetect, wife, and child. Definately a
heart-warmer
and tear-jerker. Classic lines:
She: What do you call two people who sit across from one
another and
don't even try to speak?
He: Married people...
Casablanca
----------
Casablanca is like love: if you've experienced it, you know it's the
greatest
thing going, if not, there's no way to describe it to you. "We'll
always
have Paris..."
Sweet November
-------------
Silly nonsense from the early 70s, starring Anthony Newley and a woman
whose
name always escapes me ten minutes after watching the flick. This is a
stupid comedy tear-jerker about a woman who invites a different man to
live
with her each month, for one month only. Of course, she's dying, and
of
course each man is helped and changed somehow by his month with her,
and of
course, she and Tony Newley fall madly in love with each other. Will
she
evict him on the 31? Find out. The flick is totally ridiculous and
soppy
and I love it -- you may too.
The Philadelphia Story
---------------------
A truly great film (IMHO). Ever see _High Society_? Well forget it.
This
is the genuine article. Sure, the plot's (roughly) the same, but the
script
isn't, and there's no Bing in sight! Nope, just Cary Grant, Katherine
Hepburn, and Jimmie Stewart in the best love triangle on film. By the
way,
if you love this one, try _Holiday_ -- almost the same cast, same
director,
same writer, same plot with a twist. Almost as good, too!
On Golden Pond & Ordinary People
--------------------------------
OK, these have very little to do with romance. But just try watching
them
with someone you love deeply and try *not* to cry. When Donald
Sutherland
tells Mary Tyler Moore "I don't think I love you anymore" in _Ordinary
People_, my gut throttles me everytime...
what are yours?
