• The Notebook

    romanceI had a hard time thinking of a movie that I would deem romantic.  To figure that out, I had to determine what I find romantic.  What gives someone that feeling?  Is it having someone do thoughtful things for you?  Is it having someone speak sweet nothings to you?  Is it having someone who thinks of nothing but you?  

  • Splendor in the Grass

    romanceA romantic movie that made a real impression on me was “Spendor in the Grass”.  This was a movie made in the early 1960s and was staged in 1920 in Kansas.  I was probably at the most impressionable time of my life being a teenager and it left me feeling very romantic and sad all at the same time.

  • An Affair to Remember

    romanticWhen I think of romantic movies, I want to feel weak in the knees and relate to the relationship that I am witnessing on the screen. There have been several movies that I consider to be extremely romantic. Dirty Dancing, The Bodyguard, and Pretty Woman are near the top of my list. The one movie that takes the prize is “An Affair to Remember” with Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant.
