drink tea and talk about big love
I recently watched the phenomenal Teenage Dirtbag and found it terribly romantic in a roundabout, messed up way, which is the way I like my romances best. Between this and 500 Days of Summer, I'm reconsidering my derision of "romance" as the primary plot of a story. So, what I am asking of you is: your favourite unconventional romances. Make me a believer!
TV is wearing me out, but I welcome film, novel, or even fic recommendations. To give you a taste of the kind of romances I like, for novels, I find "The History of Love," "How I Live Now," "Fight Club," "At Swim, Two Boys, and "Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle" the most romantic. Other than the ones I listed above, relationships I find moving in film are Margot and Richie's in "The Royal Tenenbaums," Nikki and Jason's in The Bourne Trilogy, Annie and Nick's in "The Invisible."
Happy endings are optional. Please help!
