I'm in the Mood for Love...

   I know this is out of order, but I had to add them!  I absolutely love the movie "Far and Away"!  Ireland, Tom and Nicole, the music...  Swooning yet?  If you have not seen it- you must.  GO RENT IT. NOW.

   And, oh my goodness, Tristan and Isolde.  What a surprise this one was!  This movie will stay with you for a long time...  I don't want to give away the story, in case you have not seen it yet.  Tristan- I know you love this one!  Such a romance!  Can you imagine how you would feel if you were them?  You will "get it" once you see the movie.  What would YOU have done??  Does anyone know if this is a true story?  I had heard that it was...

   Mirrors.  Have you seen it?  No romance here, but that's what was left at the Red Box tonight.  Our first time using one, and it won't be our last!  I love a good scary movie, but earlier this evening I was thinking of some of my favorite romantic movies...

   North and South.  Orry and Madeline- sigh.  This mini-series is fabulous.  There is history, romance, villains you love to hate (remember Bent?) and great actors and actresses.  It makes me think of Patrick Swayze.  I am praying that he will get well.  He seems like such a good person...

   Enchanted surprised me!  I DID NOT like the ditsy chick (what is her name??) until I saw the movie.  She charmed me!  Love the music, story line, pretty much everything...

   Jennifer Garner could be my best friend, I do believe.  She is so cute, but not affected.  Have you seen pictures of her in her high school band- with glasses?  She is just like one of us and that is so refreshing.  LOVED this movie.  I even have the soundtrack- oh, the memories.  I was in love with Rick Springfield, too.  How about you?  I saw him in concert a few years ago, and yes, he STILL looks good!

   I love, love, love, this movie.  Most people have never heard of it.  The flashback scenes with Jodie Foster are unreal.  The music is amazing.  I want the beach house.  Alan Appleby steals so many of the scenes.  Don't be put off by the first 15 minutes, this movie is will touch you, make you remember, and wish that you had been there on those summer days...  Love, loss, friendship and that first kiss are all there.  Take a walk down memory lane.

   How can you not love Drew Barrymore?  This movie shows us that there is hope for everyone- even the Josie Grossies out there.:)  And don't we all feel like Josie Grossie at some point in our life?

   Another movie that I did not have high expectations of enjoying.  The chemistry between Debra and Dermot (we are on a first name basis, you know) is wonderful.  Romantic and funny- such a chick flick, but your husband/boyfriend will probably indulge you.:)

   The Holiday.  Great houses, characters, dialogue, story line, etc.  Kate Winslet mooning over her boss will make your heart ache.  What ever will she do?  We have all been there.

   Bryan Adams comes to mind.  Such great music. Colorful characters.  Christian Slater, Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman...  One of the best villains ever.  The Sheriff of Nottingham- "I'm going to cut your heart out with a spoon!"

   Somewhere in Time.  Just the thought of this movie makes my heart ache.  Christopher Reeve was larger than life.  Jane Seymour is so lovely.  You, too, will want to believe.  Let the music take you there.
   Minnie Driver and Chris O'Donnell are wonderful in this.  Absolutely charming.  I love Maeve Binchy and her books.  Her characters are all so rich and believable. I fell in love with Chris O'Donnell all those years ago, while watching this.   Now he is married with 5 little girls.:)

   What are your favorite romantic movies?
