My Favorite Romantic Movies :D
Because it's Valentine's Day!
1. Bright Star. If you haven't seen this movie. Then you should. It's my current obsession. The clothes. The romance. It's EVEN PG. *gasps*. It's a quiet, but beautiful movie (which I guess some people will read as boredom XD) And the chemistry. It's not a happy movie. You'll cry or at least I cried for at least half of the movie, not my usual sobs, but quiet poetic silent tears. It's about Keats and his girl, or rumored girl, but it seems that they actually did know each other in real life, so there is that. ANYWAY, KEATS, so if you know about Keats' life, well then you know. But. STILL. GREAT MOVIE. I don't even like poetry! and I bought this one song Yearning from the soundtrack, which starts off with poetry, and it grows on you. DAMN. anyway.
2. Another Jane Campion film (see above) , THE PIANO. Now. The Piano is very disturbing I guess? That's how my mother always described it to me. I would say What's the Piano about? And she would say...OH MAN. THAT MOVIE IS DISTURBING.I saw it last year. It is one of the most dramatic romantic things I have ever seeeeeeeen. And somehow it makes Harvey Keitel SEXXY???? Which kind of freaks me out. A LOT. BUT. I think it touches on my Fables love, because it has the feeling of a fairy tale. There was a lady that didn't speak at all. She had a piano that she loved and served as her voice. UGH. It's could easily fit in with Grimm Fairytale.And there's so many visceral images. And there's mud. Lots of mud and floundering, and fancy period costumes. And I love it. It could easily share the number one spot, but let's do it I guess by the order I saw them or something contrived like that. lol.
3. Eagle Vs. Shark. This movie is AWESOME and funny and really really pathetic/sad at times. It's also got Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords. And it's weird that Jemaine is such a dick in the movie, but you still want him to end up with Lily, even though Lily kind of deserves better. It's weird. But I like it. Also the soundtrack is really fun.
4. It Happened One Night/Hold Your Man. They are both Clark Gable movies. It Happened One Night is much happier. It's got Claudette Colbert and it's just well done. Hold Your Man, very different with Jean Harlow. There's murder and Jean takes the rap. If it's on TV, it's definitely worth watching.
5. The Princess and the Warrior. This is a freaky little German movie, and I love it. It was my first foreign film back in 2002 . It started an obsession with Benno Furmann. Naked plus toaster = Win. Franka Potente plays this nurse in a mental institution and Benno ends up in there hiding from the law or something like that. I still don't know what the ending means exactly because it's open for interpretation, and you just ponder about that for the rest of your life I guess and come up with theories.But it's romantic.
That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. Also like Cashback, Delicatessen, Princess Mononoke, The Bubble, Amelie, etc.
