OK guys, (most of the ones here are guys, but there are a few ladies too. List your favorite romantic movie.
Now I know most of you would rather have a root canal done followed by a colonic irrigation but there will be times when some crush of yours will either drag you kickin' and screamin' into a theater for some tear jerkin' chick flick, or you wil have to go to the video store with her and she is not going to be pleased wiht your selection of "Death Race 2000: the Prequel" or "Bikini Chicks Washing a 4Runner: A Thrilling Documentary"
The the worse part is you start crying in the middle of this chick flick.......or try to wipe that tear away with one arm going across the back of your head to reach the eye on the other side of your head......or clearing your throat and walking to the kitchen to get a drink so she would not catch you blubbering.....
So start listing your favorite hanky flick and see where we are:
Mine are:
Casablanca: what a cast. What a classic. What iconic performances. That dialogue is now part of our lingo.....middle aged people finding, losing, finding, and losing love.....
Bridges of Madison County: What a tear jerker for middle age love lost.
Love is a Many Splendored Thing: For us old farts old enough to appreciate William Holden as everyman, cynical, worldy, weary, finding love across cultures.....that theme music was it. Sappy enough to give you diabetes...a real wrist slasher....
