In 1968 when I first heard this poem in the 1961 movie "Splendor in the Grass" I did not realize how pervasive that stanza would be throughout my life. My wife and I watched this movie last night. I had not seen it since visiting a drive-in theatre back in 1968 when I was 17. I remember being moved by the message of this movie and falling in love with Natalie Wood--I know, it was a joke. After remembering some of those moments I called to mind the line about "finding strength in what we leave behind"; decades later I realize that it is not a strength you find but a signal to stop following your grief. If you haven't seen this movie in some time, it was fantastic, kind of depressing, and very moving.

I think I’ll get a burger today. Maybe some fries. A drink.

Great movie. Natalie Wood’s death is still a mystery.

Oh—you can change your tagline just below the box in which you reply to posts.

The Notebook is pretty good. Titanic is pretty good. Many great films out there.

Now for changing tagline. When to reply to someone you will see the tagline below the big box. Just delete what you have and replace what you want to say.

Change your tagline when you post a reply

As a young man in the early 70’s I would have said “Love Story” and “Romeo and Juliet”, I still love R&J. As a more mature man I would have to say “The Notebook”.

Older movie, Casablanca. Nothing like it.

Newer movie that I love, Miss Potter. Deep love without people hopping on top of one another. The most romantic scene is when he asks this spinster to dance to a music box, just before he asks her to marry him. Ewan MacGregor just does a magnificent job as the bachelor who can’t believe love has come his way.

I never can pick a true “favorite” movie there are so many.

As for romances, for some unusual picks: I think 12 Monkeys is one heck of a tragic love story, Time Travelers Wife definitely a recent favorite, can’t get much more powerful than On The Waterfront. For some reason I think right away of Jean Simmons and Gregory Peck in The Big Country.

My all time favorite movie-—although it is a little more political and historical than romantic, there is a beautiful romance in the background. It is not only moving and beautiful, but powerful. I absolutely love the acting and storyline.

“Roman Holiday.” Loved the song, “Al di la.”

Probably Natalie’s strongest performance. That scene in the bathtub is amazing. It was directed by Elia Kazan.

Off the top of my head, I would recommend “Roman Holiday.”

Rambo or The Expendables

It is probably an unconventional pick but I have enjoyed “Immortal Beloved”. It’s one interpretation of the mysterious love letter attributed to Ludwig Van Beethoven. Gary Oldman plays Beethoven and does a great job (He even plays the piano). Supporting cast is superb and costumes look great. I wish it would get remastered on Blu-Ray.

The Ghost and Mrs Muir has been a fav of mine for quite some time. Also An Affair to Remember.

I like Love Actually. I even asked for it this past Christmas to add to my holiday movie collection, and my wife looked at me like a space alien had taken control of her husband. I had to go buy a gun the next day to feel manly again...
