My top Ten Favourite Romance Movies


A wonderful love story

Its hard to believe that I am a hopeless romantic. When I was fifteen I used to write love poems. At that time I didn't have a girlfriend. When I was dating with my wife I did wrote to her an she wrote back. Recently I watched the above mentioned movie and was inspired again to compose. I may publish it here but not yet ... I'll wait for my wife's birthday.

1. Walk to Remember.
This movie is so amazing. I watched it so many times and yet is still touched by Jamie Sulivan's ( Mandy Moore ) plight. The fact that the movie works is that it is romantic without being mushy. What's more is that Langdon Carter ( Shane West ) is so awesomely cool. He is like so sweet that he makes fairy tale princes look like amateurs. That is why its no 1 on my list.

2. Jerry McGuire
'You had me at hello' x2 . I keep on hearing that line over and over again in my head. I watched this while I was dating my wife and it inspired me to do somethings which I would not say in my blog. Anyway this movie sort of helped us to strengthen our relationship .. sort of.

3. Forever Young

A lot of people confused this with Dying Young. This one is the one with Mel Gibson the latter is the one with Julia Roberts. Why this movie had such an emotional impact on me is that Mel was willing to give up everything just to be with his loved one. Kinda like me I guess :-)

4. Pretty Woman

Great soundtrack. Julia Roberts was such a babe at that time .. maybe she still is now. Richard Gere was a perfect gentlemen. I first watched it on video the quality wasn't that good but it still touched my heart and I still feel touched everytime I watched it.

5. City of Angels

l love Meg Ryan. She is so cute. I also love movie about angels and demons and all those mythical stuff plus I love romance movies. And so since this movie combines both - that why I love it.

6. Sleepless in Seattle.

Another Meg Ryan movie. The touching part was when Tom Hanks talked about his deceased wife. It was like despite the fact that she was gone and he was still in love with her. Remind me of someone.

7. Indecent proposal.

The controversial Demi Moore movie. I thought she was very hot in this movie. I like this better than Ghost. I felt that what makes this movie interesting is Robert Redford is so charming despite being so old. Woody was also cool because he was willing to give up everything for his true love.

8. Splash

The old school romance comedy movie. Darryl Hannah debut leading role I think. I think I watched this movie a few times when I was a kid cos not only it is funny but it was quite touching also.

9. Ice Castles.

This is super old school. This was during the time sentimental songs from Melissa Manchester, Bee Gees and Billy Joel were very popular. Its about this girl who was an ice skating champion who left everything behind including the boy she loved to pursue her dream but then something happened .. what it is you have to watch to find
out.

10. The little Mermaid

Kinda childish but I like it. I think Disney portrayal of Ariel was superb. She is cute, funny and pretty. A girl who was willing to do anything for the man she loved.
