Following on from my last post of favorite romantic movies here are the rest.
The Illusionist -This is without doubt a love story of a couple separated by class, upbringing, distance and various other problems. But they risk all to find a way to be together.
The sex scene in this movie is artistically handled. This is one of Mick’s and my favorite films. Can you guess that we both like films where love triumphs over the odds? It’s a bit like our own romance but that’s another story.
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner- I’ve always been a big fan of Sidney Portier and with Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracey, how could it not be good?
I loved Katharine Houghton, as Joanna. She was so full of life and vitality and so sure not only of her intended’s love but of her parents’ love. It raised a few issues of how what parents teach their children, can be tested in ways they’re not prepared for. It is the woman of the movie and their love that finally breaks down color barriers and every other barrier. This is a gem
I Was a Male War Bride , I can hear a lot of people querying this as a romance. Yes, it is a comedy and Cary Grant at his best. It’s a love story of people hemmed in by war, regulations and red tape. What he goes though to marry and spend time with his new bride is hilarious but shows his commitment. This is good fun.
Casablanca – Sorry deedeee1231 but both Mick and I agree this is a classic love story set in war time and showing that sometimes the ‘problems of two little people don’t amount to a hill of beans’ compared with other issues. I knew without asking Mick that this was his favorite movie, but I asked anyway and got the expected answer.
Forget Paris – was Mick’s other choice. He liked the way their love story was told through flashbacks and the scenes of Paris. I didn’t mind this but wouldn’t put it in my list, which goes to show that even after being married a long time we still differ in our taste at times. However most all of my list, he agreed with.
It’s good to be able to sit cuddled up together at home watching classic romance movies. It makes us treasure our love.
