Love is like The Ghost – everyone talks about it, but few has seen it.
I’m so drunk with love movies these few days. Don’t you love it when you watch this scene and it is so oh-my-romantic and you emit this high pitch frequency, so high that you were afraid that bats are going to start flying in. Or maybe it’s just me. Well, I am a sucker for happy endings and I dread endings seen in movies like “The break-up” or like “Prime” or worse, “500 days of summer”, but at least they gave me a fair warning at the beginning of the movie.
While most people enjoy the mixed characters and their conflicting personality, I don’t. I hate it when the “cunning-rival” appears or when the main character gets set up by someone else. People say it gives the show a more holistic approach and reflects reality truly. The only reason I watch romantic comedy is to make up for my silly life, so why should I see the ugly truth when I can opt for a better ending?
Anyway, I’d like to list down my favourite love/romantic movies. I might miss out a few good ones, because I can’t think straight now and I do not claim to have watched an extensive list.
1. Pride and Prejudice
I can’t believe I’ve gone by so long without reading the book. I must say it is one of the best. And now since I’ve watched the movie, I’m contemplating whether or not to read the book. Hmmm..
2. The Holiday
Jude Law is a charming CHARMING man. And the way he portrayed a father/widower, I mean my eyes open wide when it switched from LA to London.
3. The Notebook
You cannot not cry, you cannot not scream. You just can’t.
4. At First Sight (book)
Okay, foul play, this is a book. But I’m telling you, I don’t remember not crying and that’s all I’m saying.
5. P.S. I love you
This is one that scares me a little because it literally wrote out my fear about leaving the one I love behind and how little I can do for them. The thought of it alone, tears me up. That’s why I say to him, “The cruelest thing I can do to you is dying.”
6. Sleepless in Seattle
It’s Tom Hanks. Period.
7. Love Actually
I mean who hasn’t watched that show? Everyone is in it.
The list could go on. I’ll update when I come across movie worthy to be on my list. And it’s just my list, so don’t judge.
Love and good night.
