Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

It's a day for romance....

And, what says romance better than the movies?!?!?!?!

Here's my tour of romance in the movies, thanks to youtube, and lots of free time:

I started with the most recent movie that made my heart go - Yeah, true love does exist! Even if it was a fairy tale. :) "Enchanted":



And, when thinking of fairy tales, one can never get too far from "The Princess Bride," a fairy tale about true love that has everything from swashbuckling to kissing. As you wish. Sigh. :



And then there's the fairy tales I grew up on, like "The Little Mermaid." Such angst about love!:


This reminds me of my first favorite Disney movie, "Sleeping Beauty." I STILL love this song and I know all the words from when I was 6. I loved Prince Phillip too:


Which makes me think of musicals...and I remember Lesley Ann Warren and Stuart Damon in "Cinderella." I LOVED this song too:


And, there's Moulin Rouge and Ewan McGreggor and Nicole Kidman:


Ok, enough with the musicals...although, interesting how much a part music plays in romance...even if people aren't singing...

On that note - Romance movies are never complete without mentioning the teen movie, "Say Anything." Oh, John Cussack, if only you were holding the boombox up for me!:


Oh, John Cussack...he was even great in "The Sure Thing":


And, fast forward twenty years....to last years movie "The Holiday," which was amazing for every woman I know that saw it. I love the opening thoughts on love:


And there is nobody like the romantic lead of Colin Firth in "Pride and Prejudice":


And, when you look at classics, there's always "Gone With the Wind" and Scarlett and Rhett. Such antagonism - it's great!:


I could go on and on and on with romantic movie clips, but I'll end on this last one - a perfect ending for anyone who wanted a "Jake Ryan."
