CLASSIC TALES OF LOVE

Click on any of the titles of the movies to learn more about the film!

Say Anything (1989) – Rommy. “One of my top two favorite romantic movies.”

Overboard (1987) – Rommy.

The Princess Bride (1987) – Rommy. “My other top favorite. My hubby’s bright eyed optimism is so Lloyd Dobbler-esque.”

Pretty in Pink (1986) – Jackie.

Somewhere in Time (1980) – Kathi. “Somewhere in Time starring Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve. He travels back in time just to be with her. Romantic settings and music and a great story. I cry every time I watch it!”

Heaven Can Wait (1978) – Maryanne. “Love this movie…and it appeals to men (football!) and women (Warren Beatty!).  An unfortunate accident takes the life of an NFL Quarterback before it was his time to die. The movie covers his journey to find a new, permanent body while temporarily inhabiting the body of a millionaire. And, by the way, the wife and lover of this millionaire are trying to kill him. The movie is funny, silly, and tragic and, through the love-interest that builds with the character played by Julie Christie, shows that true love bridges time and circumstance.”

Annie Hall (1977) – Stephanie. “Woody Allen’s Alvie and Diane Keaton’s Annie are the funnies characters for a love story.”

Harold and Maude (1971) – Stephanie. “Breaking down the walls of what love should be – this is a kooky movie, but it is so touching and wonderful. I love it.”

Love Story (1970) – Jo Clare. “The very first movie that brought TEARS to my eyes was… drum roll… Love Story. She dies in the end! L”

The Quiet Man (1952) – Eric. “Both a tough guy movie and a romantic one.”

To Each His Own (1946) – Frank. “To Each His Own starring Olivia De Havilland, who won an Academy Award for best actress for this role, it spans 30 years in the life of a woman from WW1 through WW2. It tells of her falling in love with a fighter pilot in WW1, learning of his death and then learning she is having his child. The trials and tribulations of having the baby, having to give the baby up for adoption, trying to get  the baby back, how she becomes a very rich and prestigious business woman. She learns that her son, who is a fighter pilot during WW2, will be in England, where she lives, and how she plans to get to see him. The climax is when she spends time with him and through a series of events he learns that she is his mother. The final line of the movie is “May I have this dance Mother”. I cry like a baby, my friends used to make fun of me, so one time I had a “To Each His Own” party and at the end of the movie there was not a dry eye in the house including the men. It is just a beautifully made movie with a great actress and a story that melts your heart, if you get a chance try and watch it, which can be difficult since it is a very rare and hard movie to find. I was fortunate to buy a VHS copy on E-bay, there are no DVD’s of it, and still have the old DVD player so I can watch this great movie (I have since converted it to DVD with).”

Gone With The Wind (1939) – Jackie.

Tarzan and His Mate (1934) – Eric. “I think this was my first real romantic/action movie that I liked.”

King Kong (1933) – James.
