Favourite love films

[Valixy]

Valixy- yah I guess ur right. i think i just liked it bcuz i could relate to it when i seen it for the 1st time. i just loved how he had a lot goin against him but he fought for what he believed in which was how they were meant to be. and i guess i'm a sucker for a happy ending lol

I guess I only watched some of his older films, SUH. His first ones are probably much more romantic. I watched the trailer of Say Anything last night and it seemed like a very sweet film indeed. And happy endings are priceless :-)

Thanks haha I have literally tons that are favorites of mine, but I'll go with the ones off the top of my head right now. Let's see...

1. Music and Lyrics - I like the older Drew Barrymore movies (especially when she was a kid), but this one is one of her better newer ones, in my opinion.

2. Shall We Dance - Only ever saw the remake, but it's just the way that Gere, Sarandon, and Lopez play their roles (and the soundtrack) that just makes the film. And I thought the ending was incredible.

3. An Affair to Remember - Come on, you have Cary Grant. Enough said?

4. Some Kind of Wonderful - One of my all time favorite John Hughes films.

5. Every Girl Should Be Married - Again, Cary Grant.

6. Two Weeks Notice - The part with the stapler, not to spoil anything.

7. While You Were Sleeping - Overall, it was just an awesome movie. Sandra Bullock is awesome in it.

As expected, you've got a long list, Rowen :-) Susan Sarandon is a great favourite of mine and Sandra Bullock is simply great in romantic comedies. I'll add the other ones to my watching list for this summer :-)

Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing in no particular order.

I bet everyone loves those, sunrise. And Ghost too!

I liked Titanic.

But my favorite is "Over the Top" with Silvester Stallone, thats a movie about fathers and sons love.

[Rowen]

I have lots I love.. but I'll only mention a few of them, I am probably like Rowen when it comes to movies, he is my twin movie watcher

Pride and Prejudice ( Love so much!)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ( Adore this movie!)

Princess Bride ( romantic, and funny)

Edward Scissorhands ( yes, is a love story, lol)

Ghost ( watched so many times, a classic )

Bridget Jones Diary ( love the humor in this love story)

Her ( not your normal love story )

[pcmaster]

Pride and Prejudice ( Love so much!)

Think I should watch this one. My sister read the book and said its good. I like Bridget Jones too, is it the movie where she got in jail and then later went to confess her love but got soaked wet?

Indeed, I am! And I forgot about those three- all truly excellent. Especially Bridget Jones Diary.

As soon as my Thank You button starts working, I'm going to thank that post. haha

Yes, rent it, pcmaster unless you stumble upon it on TV or better yet for free online, I watch lots of movies online... Go for the original one, not the Keira Knightly one, but if you like her as an actress than that would be fine to watch. I don't like her much as an actress, she was good in Atonement tho. I liked the one that had Colin Firth in it.

A great film for boys Over the Top and for everyone else. My cousin loved it and I ended up watching it because of his enthusiasm :-)

l'll also keep your favourites in mind as there are a few I didn't watch, HT :-)

A friend of mine watches Bridget Jones's Diary whenever she wants to be in a good mood :-) I find E.T. has this effect on me whenever it's on television. Love it!

Not into romantic films, does Drive count? he did all he did for love. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was good too, for a romantic comedy.

It does :-) Good story too!

A Walk To Remember... cried my eyes out at that young love tragedy.

[pcmaster]

Actually "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" is a good one. Movie is old (1947) but its about how lady and ghost fell in love with each other.

[Exeter19]

Well, let's see... Onegin is set in the 19th century Russia, it's a platonic love... Breaking the Waves can be very difficult to watch, it's quite shocking actually... Lady Chatterley's Lover is the most erotic one... and Revenge, well, Madeleine Stowe is one of the most beautiful and expressive actresses in my opinion, together with Liv Tyler...

I'd recommend you Onegin, probably, because it's the least conflictive one and the romance is beautiful and Liv Tyler is simply amazing.

I haven't watched your fav films either. Read the synopsis though and they both sound very interesting, films that I would enjoy watching and I will soon :-)

Yes, Rowen is a great film lover, I wonder which are his favourite love films :-)

that movie is part of the "before" trilogy. before sunrise, before sunset and before midnight.

so you might want to watch all 3 of them, valixy. i prefer the second one, so i only listed it previously, but if you have the time on a weekend you can check out all three.

Innocent tone, I suppose. I'm sure it's worth watching :-)

Happy ending?!...I haven't watched such an old film for ages so I appreciate the recommendation, PC :-)

Apparently they've succeeded to maintain the high level in all three parts which is not very usual. Thx, Exeter :-)

i never saw the final installment yet, i should get on that at some point in time, but it is a nice tie up to the other two, i guess. i'm going to check out your suggestion to me this weekend.
