What is your favorite romance movie? This might seem a bit odd coming from me, but there it is.

2nd question--how do I change my tagline??

Sleepless was good, but it seemed to me that it was trying to be WHMS; but that could have just been the time in my life also - I’ll have to pick it up again and try it...

As with books there are always good movies out there to fit into categories and lists.

The only true romance film is “True Romance”, written by Quentin Tarantino and with Christian Slater as the dreamer Clarence who falls in love with the hooker Alabama played by Patricia Arquette.

Clarence tries to buy Alabama from her pimp, but it results in a shootout from which Clarence emerges with a suitcase full of uncut cocaine, belonging to a Detroit mobster played by Charistopher Walken. The couple flees to California, looking for happiness while behind them looms a chase by the mob.

The denouement is aptly summed up by Alabama’s last soliloquy.:

“Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record: you’re so cool, you’re so cool, you’re so cool. And sometimes Clarence asks me what I would have done if he had died, if that bullet had been two inches more to the left. To this, I always smile, as if I’m not going to satisfy him with a response. But I always do. I tell him of how I would want to die, but that the anguish and the want of death would fade like the stars at dawn, and that things would be much as they are now. Perhaps. Except maybe I wouldn’t have named our son Elvis.”

Then sir, you have not seen “Splendor in the Grass,” the other romance film.

Oh yes! Great scene. I think Miss Austen would wholeheartedly agree. I have all her books on my Kindle. ;)

Sure I have. I always thought the 50s schtick that repressed teen-age sex leads to madness was a little overdone.

And I grew up in the 50s.

I agree it was overdone. The setting of the movie was in the late 1920s.

The Princess Bride

My husband and I saw that when we first started dating and all these years later he still replies, “as you wish”.

As a crusty old guy, I don’t know if you would call it a romance movie, but Dragonfly, with Kevin Costner, is one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve ever seen in modern moviedom.

I watched that movie not many years ago and have read one of his books about Easter.
