Favourite love films

[Valixy]

Do you have any favourite love films or that had a strong impact on you?

I've got a few, not so much for the love stories, which are quite special btw, but for the actresses' interpretations who I think have delivered in some of the scenes a very authentic image of what a woman in love is like.

Onegin (Ralph Fiennes, Liv Tyler)

Breaking the Waves (Emily Watson, Stellan Skarsgård)

Lady Chatterley's Lover (Sean Bean, Joely Richardson)

Revenge (Kevin Costner, Madeleine Stowe, Anthony Quinn)

rowen has a big list if i recall of romantic movies he watched and liked, for me only 2 come to mind right off.

before sunset, and the fountain.

i don't think i've seen any of the ones you mentioned, valixy if you had to suggest one to me which would you say i should def watch?

[Valixy]

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 :-)

[so..umhey]

Say anything with John Cusack will always be my fav love story. Gotta love the 80s classics lol

[smackie9]

Becoming Jane. I love that time period wear men wore those tight white trousers....you can see everything!

Interesting choice, so..umhey :-) Don't you find that he intellectualizes quite a bit the romantic aspect though?

[smackie9]

Come on it's that classic scene when he has the ol'boombox over his head lol I would be floored if a guy did that for me....I would like "Be Near Me" tho

[Valixy]

Becoming Jane.

So deep down you are a great romantic, Smackie :-) Lovely film for sure!

Legends of the Fall... It's a story of love between 3 brothers and a father plus the three brothers fell in love with the same woman. Very tragic ending but beautiful story.

Just did a quick search. It's ''Say anything'', right? I haven't seen it! Well, that's definitely a must see :-)

That must be a plus, yes

[so..umhey]

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

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.

Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing in no particular order.
