favorites, and the reasons why!1. Sleepless in Seattle- I can remember going to see this movie in the theater in Jr. High. I like Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks as actors, and I also think the supporting actors and actresses add a lot to the movie. It's just such a feel-good story. I can re-watch it any time.
2. An Affair to Remember- If you've seen Sleepless, you know that they reference An Affair to Remember a few times. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr- you don't get much better on-screen chemistry than that! I love how funny and feisty the character is that Kerr plays. I admit, I do skip through the slow part, about two-thirds of the way through. But overall, I love this movie.
3. The Princess Bride- There's action, adventure, suspense, and comedy in this love story, right? I love it! Love the one liners, ("Inconceivable!") love the "love conquers all" theme, and love the set up with the ailing Fred Savage and his grandpa.
4. Cars- You may think this is not a love story, but to me, it is! My oldest son and I watched this movie every day when he was almost two years old and I was nine months pregnant. In August. In North Carolina. I love this movie because my boys love it. And as far as animated movies go, I don't get tired of this one. At least I haven't yet !
5. Twilight- Ok, don't judge me! First, I know it's not as good as the book. I usually skip the middle mushy part of the movie. But because I enjoyed the books, I really like the characters. I think it was casted well and that the movie represents the relationships between the characters well (like within the Cullen family.) Plus, I got a free iPod download of the movie when I bought the DVD, so I can watch it anywhere at anytime. Last week the boys fell asleep in the car and I sat parked in the driveway and let them sleep. What else to do with my fifteen minutes stuck in the car but watch the baseball scene?! (Disclaimer, we were in the shade, with the windows down, and it was about 75 degrees!)
What's your favorite movie love story?
I'll tell you on Thursday what my favorite movies are, but here is a preview:
ReplyDelete"Nobody puts Baby in the corner!"
I really only watch movies once, but I really liked No Reservations. Sweet love story--one about the aunt and niece, the other about two chefs. Good.
ReplyDeleteAs the mother of two boys, I definitely think cars is a love story. And a darn good one at that! I agree with you about Twilight too. It's not as good as the books, but good enough to make you remember how much you loved the book. Oh, and my favorite Ryan/Hanks movie is "You've Got Mail". That movie makes me smile anytime I watch it.
ReplyDeleteOk, for sure love Sleepless in Seattle! I also love You've Got Mail...I could seriously watch it over and over. When a Man Loves a Woman and The Notebook are two other great lovestories.
