I love movies, and I’m always on the lookout for good films, those that are not only entertaining but have substance as well. I love movies that make me think, those that leave something for the mind to ponder on. I also love movies that have a romantic feel to it, not necessarily movies about love, but has accents of love that go straight to the heart and ring with truth… because they make me think about life in general. I’m a romantic comedy type of girl, but I also love other genres, like drama, suspense… a well written plot.

We get quotes from movies all the time and we even use some of them in our own lives… here are a few love quotes from romantic movies:

City Of Angels
I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One.

When Harry Met Sally
I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Alex and Emma
Some things are not meant to last, they just take a place in your heart and make you smarter the next time.

Runaway Bride
I guarantee that we’ll have tough times, and I guarantee that at some point one or both of us will want to get out. But I also guarantee that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life cause I know in my heart you’re the only one for me.

The Hot Chick
You are the only person that can make my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.

The Princess Bride
Death cannot stop true love; it can only delay it for a little while.

Moulin Rouge
The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

My Best Friend’s Wedding
If you love someone you say it, you say it right then, out loud. Otherwise, the moment just… passes you by.

Fried Green Tomatoes
I wonder how many people never get the one they want, but end up with the one they’re supposed to have.

Good Will Hunting

Sometimes I wish I had never met you. Because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there.

Forces of Nature
I always thought that there was this one perfect person for everybody in the world, you know, and when you found that person the rest of the world kind of magically faded away, and, you know, the two of you would just be inside this kind of protective bubble, but there is no bubble, I mean if there is you have to make it, I just think life is more than a series of moments, you know, we can make choices, and we can choose to protect the people we love, and that’s what makes us who we are and those are the real memories.

What Happens In Vegas

angel on Jun-30-2008

what-happens-in-vegas.jpgHave you watched the movie “What Happens In Vegas”? We were able to watch it and I think it’s a hilarious movie.

As the title obviously tells us, the movie is set in Las Vegas, the Sin City, and the story revolves around Joy and Jack, two people who can’t be more different from each other. Joy was depressed because of a recent breakup and Jack was just fired by his own father, and both decided to go to Vegas to escape their misery. Well, you know what happens in Vegas, there’s lots of partying, drinking, and of course, gambling.

After a night of partying and being drunk, Joy and Jack find themselves together in bed the following morning, in one of the fabulous hotels in las vegas, apparently, already married and with no recollection whatsoever of how they got themselves into it. They realize they hate each other so they decided to get divorced. But everything got complicated when one of them won a huge jackpot in a casino playing the other’s quarter. Everything got even more complicated when the judge assigned to their case sentenced them to “six months hard marriage” and the couple is forced to live with each other and see it through.

Everyday after that was a greedy battle between the two, culminating in each formulating a plan to get the other to give up or cheat or be late for counseling, anything to get the money for themselves. But then, like all romantic comedies, it gets predictable… they fell in love with each other along the way, and they ended up together.

I personally liked the movie because it made me laugh. I’m a romantic comedy kind of girl, and although the ending is quite predictable, I enjoyed the humor and love accents in the movie. I also liked that the main characters were played by Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz. Overall, I think it’s a good movie to watch, especially if you need to laugh a little or love a little.

6 Movies That Make Me Cry

angel on Apr-6-2008

woman_crying.jpgI cry when I watch sad movies. And I’m not ashamed to admit it.

Why do we cry when we watch sad movies anyway? The way I see it, a movie depicts life, and whenever we see something that we can relate to, and we relate it to our own lives, we get affected, and therefore we cry. Of course not all people cry during a movie. But a really good movie should be able to stir something up inside each of us, regardless of whether or not we cry as a result.

A friend of mine asked me this question the other night: What was the last movie that made you cry? I didn’t have a ready answer, I’m usually like that when asked to recall things. The more I try to remember, the less I remember. But anyway, afterwards, I did try to come up with at least 6 movies I’ve cried to in the past. And here they are:

A Walk To Remember - The story of this movie is just incredible. Some people might find it cheesy and predictable, but I don’t care. It probably rarely happens in real life too, but the thing is, the story is really touching. Imagine, having that special guy do all those wonderful things for you… even though he knows you’re dying. It’s like God really gave that girl Jamie an angel (in the form of Landon), because she was dying. And it even changed Landon’s life in the process. It’s love at it’s purest and unconditional state. It’s really heartwarming. I cry every time I watch that movie.

Stepmom - I love this movie. It’s about two women, a man, and two kids, all woven together in a story of love, family, respect and acceptance. The story is just like any other story, a guy gets divorced, finds another woman to love, and now the new woman has to prove herself to the kids, you know, stuff that pretty much happens in real life anyway. The twist in the story happens when the real mom is diagnosed with cancer and dies. My favorite bit, was when Susan Sarandon said, “I have their past, and you can have their future.” I couldn’t stop the tears, it’s really touching.

The Miracle Worker - I only saw this movie once, but I haven’t forgotten it since. It’s based on a true story, about the life of Helen Keller and her teacher Annie Sullivan. The title really fits the movie, because it really was a miracle how Annie was able to teach the blind and deaf Helen, how to communicate. After all the struggles, frustrations, and disappointments, in the end, through love and persistence, Annie was able to break Helen’s walls. It’s a sad but beautiful story. I would recommend it to anyone. It has so much depth and it really pierces through the heart.

Patch Adams - This movie is also a tearjerker. Based on yet another true story, about a young medical doctor named Hunter Adams. Starring Robin Williams, a funny actor, but he proved he could do drama too with this movie, and he portrayed his role so well, it’s amazing. There are sad parts in the movie, but I cried during the courtroom scene… when he made that speech. “You treat a disease, you win, you lose… you treat a person, I guarantee you, you win, no matter what the outcome.” That’s an incredible bit of truth there.

Sweet November - I can’t really remember what particular scene I cried to in this movie, but I do remember that it has something to do with the plot. I think I cried towards the end of the movie, when the dying girl blindfolded the guy, and walked away from him saying that she didn’t want him to see her so weak and wasted. She wanted to be remembered as a fun, caring woman who loved life to the fullest, or something along those lines. I only watched the movie once, and that was a long time ago, so I can’t really remember all the bits. But I really liked the story and well, I did cry.

The Notebook - This is one of the most beautiful stories ever written. It tells of unconditional love and how it stands the test of time, no matter what. If you’re a girl, you probably have at some point in your life, dreamed of having this kind of love, am I right? Who wouldn’t want that kind of love, where even though you have Alzheimer’s Disease, he still stays by your side every single day, and loves you despite your condition. If that doesn’t make a girl cry, I don’t know what would.

I guess that’s about it! I tried to think of other movies to put here, but sadly, my mind wouldn’t cooperate anymore. How about you, do you remember the movies that made you cry?
