In celebration of Valentine’s Day I thought we’d compile a list of the most tear-jerkiest, sexy, gut-wrenching, star-crossed lost love, fight the power, romantic and obstacle overcoming protagonist films. If you do a quick search a lot of the older films are listed online where you can watch them in their entirety for free.
Here’s a few faves:
Pride & Prejudice
The Notebook
Nicolas Sparks has cornered the market on this genre with The Vow, Dear John, etc.
The Way We Were
Something’s Gotta Give
Yeah, it was all about Jack & Diane getting together in the end, but in the real world Keanu would’ve won. This role was perfect for him.
Love Jones
Arguably the best bohemian, sexy black buppy movie ever. We need more stories like this.
Mahogany
Taken (what’s greater than daddy love, papa bear slaying dragons to get his daughter back?)
Old Yeller
What movies have meaning for you?
The Atonement, Love and Basketball, Legends of the Fall, The Bodyguard, Message in a Bottle, etc.
Those are great choices. Mine are Pride & Prejudice, Return to Me, Love Actually, The Notebook, and Wall-E
Thanks! Why Wall-E?
I love pride and prejudice.
Wall-E is a cute robot who falls in love with another robot, Eve, and goes to great lengths to be with her. It's a great movie about the environment also.
I saw it, but I wanted to get your take on why you like it. Thanks.
