I don't make any pretences of having high-brow tastes when it comes to film. Love is a strong element but so is the saga of the lovers overcoming great evil.
This is probably the first list like this where I've actually seen ALL the films listed.
What would I add? Hmm...
Jump Tomorrow
Shrek (seriously - it's that good)
Le Chiavi di Casa (Italian, of course, but it's worth watching with subtitles)
Breaking Away (classic!)
Shaun of the Dead
Oh, I could just go on and on... ;)
Happy TT!
Um...geez. How about:
Amelie
Pride and Prejudice
Most any Sandra Bullock movies - The Lake House, The Proposal, Premonition
That's all I got!
Nerine,
My tastes are rather eclectic, too. I like what I like, despite what critics might think. LOL.
Kimberly, I love Shrek, too. Shaun of the Dead is romantic???!!! I've never seen it. Now I just might have to, LOL. :)
Bratty--I've never seen Amelie. It's one of those movies I keep meaning to watch. Thanks for the gentle nudge.
:)
I agree on all !! Sandy
Great list! I'd like to add an older flick called "Cousins". It's wonderful! And "City of Angels" is great, if heartbraking.
Becca, great list! Pillow Talk is one my oldie goldie faves. I like the Katherine Hepburn/Spencer Tracy films. And, I can't leave out Zorro.
There's more, of course, but I can't think of them ALL right now.
About half of those are my favorites, also. I think my all time favoritie is Flashdance. I've seen it five or six times. The first time I saw it, I went back to the theater the next day and watched it again.
Flashdance is one of my all-time favorites, too!
-always wanted to watch When Harry Met Sally but never got to. there are titles you mentioned, like 11, 12, 6, 4 that I wanna check out. And the Sound of Music - yes :) love it too
I love movies too Becca. All of them. Especially romances. I've seen and enjoyed all of the movies you have on this list, except Pillow Talk, and I just added it to my Netflix queue.
I have way too many favorites to list, but here's just a few that come to the top of my head: Moulin Rouge, Punch Drunk Love, Memento, Star Trek, The Time Traveler's Wife.
Sandy, thanks for stopping by. :)
Carla, I've never seen Cousins. That's with Ted Danson, isn't it? I've heard that's really cute. I'll have to Netflix it.
Savanna, thanks for stopping by. :) I appreciate it. Pillow Talk is great, isn't it? I haven't seen it in a while. Might have to remedy that...
Cara--I forgot about Flashdance. I was just like you when it came out. I think I must have seen it 5-6 times in the theater. I also bought a black Flashdance leotard to wear in aerobics class. Complete with pink leg warmers. :)
Hazel--You HAVE to watch Harry/Sally. You'll love it. It's dated, but not that much.
Tatiana, thanks for adding your own list. Of those you mentioned, I've only seen Moulin Rouge (which I loved). I'll have to check out the others.
