LOVE IS IN THE AIR


No guys I have not fallen in love,its just that I was watching CASABLANCA yesterday and I thought why not share the list of the movies which i find as most romantic. And after compiling the list i thought why the hell in most of these movies people end up crying more than laughing .Love should make people happy, i guess that should be the point of being in love. But then how would I know I has never been in love. But these are few amazing movies.

1) NOTEBOOK
Its an epic love story which touches your heart and always make you say how can someone love somebody so madly. A beautiful actress Rachel Mcadams is amazing in the movie. And as it it said behind every great love their is a great story, this movie proves this saying perfectly.

2) CASABLANCA
Yes i know some people thinkI would be mad to have Casablanca at second spot instead of first. But its just that Notebook touched me much more.What to say about this movie Ingrid Bergman looking like a dream . And what makes this movie a timeless classic is the amazing dialouges and breathtaking end. I would say if the end would have been any different this movie would have lost its charm.

3)WHEN HARRY MET SALLY
Probably the movie whose dialouges you wouldn't forget in long time. "Men and Women can never be friends "and the one where Meg Ryan says "You cannot take it back coz it's already out there". A movie with amazing performance by Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan at their witty best. And not to miss the end when Billy Crystal says then when you realized that you want to spend the rest of life with someone you want the rest of life to start as soon as possible.


4)FRENCH KISS
I know again Meg Ryan , but what can i do she is just brillant in all of her romantic movies. And this one is no different. But this movie is not just her, amazing locations and Kevin Kline at his best. But what is most memorable about this movie is a quote by Meg Ryan "All men are bastards" and the way the says it still makes me laugh. Its a great comedy and a really well executed movie.

5) BEFORE SUNSET/BEFORE SUNRISE
Simply love the movies. These are two movies which I call intelligent movies with great script and no gloss to make it look good. A gorgeous french girl and not so bad looking american guy falling in love in their first encounter and then how story unravels is amazing. Movie with the best dialouges according to me and breathtaking locations .

  1. I have only watched # 3 on your list. I usually don't watch love stories because they make me cry, you are so right! He he.

    Also because then I feel sad for I haven't found the love of my life yet! :)

    May I add your blog to my blogroll, please?

    Are you sure you have not fallen in love? You sound like a bit... And what about 'The city of Angels'? When you want to describe how a fruit tastes using words but the other person just can't feel it cause he's just not able.. i'd use an expression that then it looks like different dimension of reality. That reminds me... most people will never be in a different way than they really are, however we wished them to change, however they tried. Greetings

    Yes, in love with life. And don't get so much into these love stories, they're for people whose expectations can never be met, it's like waisting time on complaining.. And no local films included? Too bad, american films can hardly express certain subtleness some non-american films do so effortlesly.. But it's the matter of individual preferences and sensitivity to such elements I guess.
