your favorite romantic movies

completely off subject, but does anyone else miss the cents sign on the keyboard? guess it isn't universal enough???

[klondike]

bottomless!

Ha! If there's one situation I like better than "top down", it's no bottoms!

What . . ? This thread is about romance, right?

And yes, I too miss the cents key . . my wife says I never have enought cents, especially the good kind!

And here - I'll even put us back on topic:

The Sandpiper - a very romantic film, easily Dick & Liz's most romantic, entirely beautiful & poignant, and heartachingly sad at the end.

SPOILER - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(I sure couldn't have been strong enough to drive away down the PCH, & voluntarily leave the winsomely, awesomely beautiful Violet Eyed One sighing & lonely on that beach . . especially to the strains of "Shadow of Your Smile"!)

Miss G, how did I miss Roman Holiday, A Portrait of Jennie and un Homme et un Femme? Thanks for reminding me.

I can see why you like Angel and the Badman, it's romantic, I rarely find John Wayne a romanticd figure but you've reminded me that I found him rather dashing and romantic in another film with Maureen O'Hara, one of the trilogy, it escapes me.

I forgot some favorite Cary Grant movies

The Philadelphia Story
Bringing up Baby
His Girl Friday
The Awful Truth
My Favorite Wife

and

Silk Stockings, just for Nancy.

KILLER OF SHEEP
GUN CRAZY

[knitwit45]

sigh....ChiO, GUN CRAZY?????? oh, ok....

we need to chain Mr. C to a chair and have him watch Hold Back the Dawn...twice.... Hey Chris, how about it for your movie marathon this spring?????

[ChiO]

Although I have not seen HOLD BACK THE DAWN, I do like Mitchell Leisen, so don't roll those googly eyes at me, young lady. What's more romantic than a boy's love for a girl and a gun? And a girl's love of thrills, money...and a gun? Love doesn't have to be icky to be romantic (hope Hallmark doesn't steal that one).

[MissGoddess]

Oh yes, The Sandpiper..."The Shadow of Your Smile" is my favorite song.

[knitwit45]

Love doesn't have to be icky to be romantic (hope Hallmark doesn't steal that one).

I don't think you're in any danger of being plagiarized on that one! (Thanks for the 'young lady' bit...)

I can't really think of any of my favorite classic romantic movies that have not been named. I believe Random Harvest is way up there in the top 5. I have to admit however that I absolutely love the ending of Pretty Woman, with Gere climbing the outside fire escape stair when he is afraid of heights. So am I, so I know what either courage or love it took. And finally, I found the recent Sandra Bullock/Keannu Reeves The Lake House extremely romantic. I practically chewed off all my nails during that mailbox scene in the last few minutes wondering if it was going to work.

Youse guys are just too much. I actually cried when reviewing some of your selections in my mind. I love romantic movies as long as they do not end in a death.

My favorite more current romantic movies are:

The Holiday (2007) Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black. I loved this movie and watched it over 10 times.

Nights in Rodanth (2008) Richard Gere, Diane Lane. A wonderful love story no one should miss.

The Ambassador's Daughter (1956) Olivia DeHavilland, John Forsyth, Myrna Loy. A plauseable love affair. I loved it

Many more too numerous to mention but I like love stories to build throughout the movie and A walk In The Clouds is one of my favorites.

Les Amants
Jules Et Jim
Love Me Tonight
Easter Parade
Brigadoon
