*Singing in the Rain
*You've Got Mail

I think it was "The Clock" If I remember it, Kate.
Love all those old MGM movies. Great studio films. I think Robert Walker and Jennifer Jones.
They were in a couple of them together.
D

My Favorites are:
Keeping the faith, Amelie, Dirty Dancing, Pride and Predjudice (BBC Series with Collin Firth and Jennifer Ehle) Bridget Jones, Wedding Date, probably much more but i've got a writersblock.

Here we go again, heaven help me!!!!!

I love all those that have been mentioned plus all the oldies like Now Voyager

I love most of all from "now"

The English Patient

While You Were Sleeping

and of course

De Lovely because of the Cole Porter music

Kate
ps thanks for the thread

WOW!

No one likes Pillow Talk, with Doris Day and Rock Hudson!!!

Or Calamity Jane, also with Doris Day!!

Hi Daryl D, thought I would whet your appetite. Living in Cornwall could be compared to living in Camelot---we are so cut off from the rest of the UK, including not being able to receive cell-phone-calls in certain locations (including my house and garden!LOL)--and I can only receive four TV channels--but what a choice of programme they give me.!!!
My choice:- five films from now until midnight

Philadelphia Story with Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart.
Murder in Three Acts by Agatha Christie,with Peter Ustiov and Tony Curtis
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier with Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George Sanders and Judith Anderson,
Look Whos Coming to Dinner with Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier
Arlington Road, with two of my favourite "modern" stars Jeff Bridges, Tim Robbins and that under rated actress Joan Cusack.

In addition there are the two X Factor type programmes "Grease" and "Joseph" very good.
Two programmes on the Monarchy (Oliver Cromwell and King Charles I) and Offspring of Queen Victoria in the shape of three cousins at the beginning of the last Century, Prince George, Tsar Nicholas and Kaiser William embroiled in Global warfare and a family fued.
Add to this an excellent Docudrama on Du Maurier and a troll around Du Mauriers Cornwall and I still have to fit in The Weakest Link, Parkinson with Patrick Stewart and Gene Wilder and by no means least a much awaiting return of the young Chinese Pinanist Lang Lang (He plays at Carnegie Hall more often than the Royal Albert Hall --pity for us, he is brilliant).

During the whole of the evening the awful Eurovision Song Contest is playing on BBC1
urrgggh

So I shouldn't be here boasting about all these programmes on just 4 channels--should I?????

See you tomorrow !!! Kate

Oh and of course "Totally Blonde". :P

Thank you Dee, now we know

DarylD I have it on the very best advice that the film was called Under The Clock with Judy Garland and Robert Walker and it was directed by Vincent Minelli in 1945 -- now I wonder -- Was Judy married to him then??

I am surrounded by such clever people who always look out for me--thank you again Dee and DarylD.

Kate

How could I forget "Pretty Woman"? I love that movie. See, I told you the list went on!

Hands down...'The Notebook' That movie is incredibly romantic to me

I also loved
'Pretty Woman' - but my favourite is
'Sweet Home Alabama'
Kathy.

god i have so many, beauty and the beast, the notebook, moulin rouge, the wedding date, robin hood prince of theives, titanic, quest for camelot, walk the line, braveheart(i know not really romanic but it is to me lol), pirates of the caribean, elizabethtown lol thats a start lol

Hello Angelica

Yes ... The Way We Were ... one of my favourite films also. In fact, anything with Robert Redford is a favourite for me. What about Out of Africa? Good story, beautiful scenery and wonderful music score.

D x

DarylD, the plot thickens.
Dee has just told me that the film was called The Clock in the States and Under the clock
in the UK.
Robert Walker was actually married to Jennifer Jones at the time but she was about to leave him for Selznick.
Judy asked for Minelli to direct after he had directed her in Meet Me In St. Louis--and then they were married and lived happily ---for a short while anyway.
Kate

Talking of one of my favourites --Judy Garland

Was there a film called "Under The Clock"???
the male lead Robert (Walker(???)
He was also in "Strangers on a Train"

I'm very vague about it, but remember he was a Soldier in WWII and they were to meet under the clock

Localola --where are you---help me--I shan't sleep Katie/80 plus one (I'm in THAT mode again) can't remember my own name.!!!!

you know all this big classic movies are just incredible! everytime you see them they are always amazingly beautiful...and they all have a sort of grace that it's hard to find in nowdays movies. that's one of the reasons why i loved "pride and prejudice"


angie

LOVE all the ones you said.

notting hill is the first that comes to my mind..but MOULIN ROUGE too is lovely, but THE BEST LOVE STORY EVER IS PRIDE AND PREJUDICE for me, and since the last film with keira knightley and matthew mc fadyen was superb..that movie is really in this list

what about THE WAY WE WERE?

angie

Love Actually! Meet Joe Black, City of Angels, Gone with the wind.

My favorite movie is Gone with the wind.

Charlotte

Thank you DarylD--I remember now it was
The Clock and you've confirmed it was Robert Walker
I don't want to start WW II all over again,
But, I feel certain it wasJudy --everything she ever did is imprinted on my (young) heart.

Can we get anymore help on this one -- its going to haunt me !!!!!!

Kate x

Another one of mine and probably my very favorite is 'Splendor in the Grass' with Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty. They were young and so in love! They had so much love for each other that they couldn't express. She had to be a 'good girl'. Natalie Wood is probably my all-time favorite actress....she died way too young.

Buble's Brunette Babe #204
ATM #33

Hey Karen...I remember Camelot very well...even have the movie. Actually, I named my daughter after Guinevere. Her name is Jennifer which is a derivitive for Guinevere. I do believe he called her Jenny one in the movie....and yes, it is one of my very favorites, too.

Joanied

One of my all-time favorites is Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet with Olivia Hussey, Leonard Whiting and Michael York. A beautiful film in every way.

I'm sure none of you remember but CAMELOT with Richard Harris & Vanessa Redgrave! It's my all time favorite movie!

Wow... All of the above..... and
The Way We Were
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid (OK.... but man what chemistry those two guys had)

Withering Heights
Casablanca (I know... I'm showing my age)
Pal Joey
Oklahoma
Carousel... OK now, I've got musical hat on....
Stop me, stop me...
D

I agree with those who wrote "The notebook": it's so romantic!! I love it too!

I also like "Titanic" and "Pride and Prejudice"

I love "To Have or Have Not". Anyone seen that??

Kate... you are so right... When you mentioned Judy after I posted... gave myself a bit of a shake and I do remember her.

You just never know in the movie biz.... So sad. Robert Walker died so young.

I grew up wanting to be one of those "great ladies" on the screen. Had all kinds of fantasies about what life must be like.
So much illusion.

Ultimately, life is what we make it.

The ultimate best is An Affair To Remember. OMG. Love it. And... anything else Cary Grant was in (that was romantic in nature).

Love this thread!

Movies with a heavy romantic element are my favs, so I had a hard time narrowing it down, so I went a little over 10, but here goes:

1. Titanic
2. An Affair to Remember/Love Affair (Grant, Kerr/Beatty, Benning) I loved them both…
3. Dr. Zhivago
4. Romeo & Juliet (Zeffirelli)
5. Possession (2002 – Gwyneth Paltrow)
6. What Dreams May Come
7. Love Story (“Love means never having to say you’re sorry…”)
8. The Notebook
9. The Lake House
10. The Fountain (Strange but hauntingly beautiful)
11. Untamed Heart
12. Serendipity
13. Somewhere in Time

B.

Yes.... Somewhere in Time..... you just don't want that penny moment to happen. Such a lovely "truth" about love.
D

Oh I know Daryl! Talk about wanting to undo something that can't be undone... *sniff, sniff*

It is not a typical romantic movie but I like Bridget Jones and Pride and Prejudice (Marc Darcy (Colin Firth) is awsome :-))

Oh Goodness, I'm a HUGE movie buff and I've got quite a few "Favorites" when it comes to romantic movies...

When Harry Met Sally
Benny and Joon
Pride and Prejudice
Singin' in the Rain
Shallow Hal
Don Juan De Marco....

just to name a few lol. One of my absolute favorite movies of all time would have to be The Pirate, a 1948 MGM Musical Starring Gene Kelly and Judy Garland, music written by Cole Porter. Anyone here seen it? Its kind of become a cult classic for die hard Judy or Gene fans.

-Kat

oh i like
wedding date with debra messing

Quoted by BrassBandFan: "WOW!

No one likes Pillow Talk, with Doris Day and Rock Hudson!!!
