I agree with you that I would prefer the characters to not hop into bed with each other and have extramarital affairs - it's so hard to find movies like that!<BR/>I disagree though with you on:<BR/>SLIDING DOORS - loved the dual plots, kept me wondering and on the edge of my seat till the end<BR/>PRETTY WOMAN - yeah, the fact that she was a prostitute detracted from it but I thought the film focused on her finally believing that she was worth something and I thought it was the same with NOTTING HILL, that yes, she treated him badly but in the end she found what really mattered and chose love and family over Hollywood<BR/>I loved YOU'VE GOT MAIL! (more than Sleepless in Seattle I think) Yes, they bickered but they met as rivals.

I agree with you on all the movies you list (that I've seen anyway). Some of them I haven't seen because I knew I wouldn't like them. Pocahontas and Titanic are two of those movies. <BR/><BR/>A movie that other people I knew loved and that I hated was The English Patient. The whole "love" story was based on adultery! I could not get into it. Plus, I thought it was soooo sloooow. But mainly it was that I don't find unfaithfulness to be romantic. That's why I didn't want to see Sweet Home Alabama, which was actually better than I thought it would be. I didn't see While You Were Sleeping or The Wedding Planner, again for the same reasons. I don't like modern romances. I much prefer The Age of Innocence for romantic adultery (since they never actually do anything). <BR/><BR/>And I do like The Last of the Mohicans. I thought the relationship between Uncas and Alice was so sweet. And when she jumped off the cliff instead of going with Magua as he held out the hand stained with Uncas' blood... *sigh*<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see your list of movies you *do* find romantic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-49450748379427792702008-02-08T19:26:00.000-09:002008-02-08T19:26:00.000-09:00I disagree with you on several of your choices, bu...I disagree with you on several of your choices, but BIG HUGE POSITIVE THUMBS UP on Attack of the Clones.

For example, I know a lesbian couple who have been together for my entire 31 years on this earth - a piece of paper they aren't allowed to have has obviously not prevented them from making an incredible life together. Marriage might have deepened your feelings of committment to your husband, but I'm not sure how the last seven years of my life don't count as "shared experiences" that are "emotionally fulfilling" - or if they are less shared or less fulfilling than if we'd had a ceremony already. His aunt died suddenly, my cousin died at 34 of ovarian cancer. He went back to school and got his undergrad, I got my grad. degree, and now he's finishing his grad work at UAF and we leaned on each other through all of those things. We're deeply, fully committed to each other and our life together and beyond emotionally fulfilled with the other person. How could I stay with someone, move away from the only home I'd ever known (to FAIRBANKS ALASKA lol), unless I were as emotionally fulfilled - or more, really - than I'd ever been?<BR/>As for children - we don't plan on having any (I know, I know, I wasn't going to go there) and at the end of my childless life (assuming we don't change our minds) I don't think I'll have been any less fulfilled, any less emotionally engaged with my partner than anyone else. I think it's a little presumptuous for people with children to assume that only by having a child will every couple reach the pinnacle of "bondedness"...which I'm pretty sure is a word I just made up.conebabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127919105379967342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-85993153698501954682008-02-08T17:26:00.000-09:002008-02-08T17:26:00.000-09:00Cute blog - I'm a new reader.I will say that I com...Cute blog - I'm a new reader.<BR/><BR/>I will say that I completely disagree with your assessment of Ghost from the standpoint of - who cares if they are married or not? I've been with my fiance for going-on seven years, and we won't be married for another 1.5 so by the time we're married we'll have been a couple almost a decade. Plenty of "real" challenges and romance along the way - including moving to Alaska.<BR/>Kind of offensive to some people that a long-term relationship can't be challenging or romantic without marriage (or kids, but I won't go there).conebabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127919105379967342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-86092687712250759712008-02-08T12:49:00.000-09:002008-02-08T12:49:00.000-09:00Lilith--I guess I didn't make it too clear, I'm no...Lilith--I guess I didn't make it too clear, I'm not saying that the whole Pretty Woman scenario means prostitutes don't deserve human kindness or the same rights as the rest of us, I'm just saying that the movie is laughably unrealistic.
