Best Fluff/Romantic Movies for DU'ers who can't get away this Weekend.

I'll start with anything with Goldie Hawn/Chevy Chase...from the Past. And "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Mickey Blue Eyes"...so you can see where I'm coming from. :D

"Charade" - Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn
"To Catch a Thief" - Cary Grant, Grace Kelly
"Out of Sight" - George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez
"Affair to Remember" - Cary Grant, Debra Kerr
"Two Weeks Notice" - Sandra Bullock, Hugh Grant

Cusack...kickboxing...classic.

My definition of romantic/escapist film may not match yours, and don't say you weren't warned about the Ingmar Bergman and all the E.M. Forster adaptations, including the gay love story.

Have a great weekend! :hi:

I've seen most of this list and agree with you 100%. The ones I haven't seen are going in my Netflix queue!

Have you seen Firelight with Sophie Marceau and Stephen Dillane? I love that movie.

Note on Wings of Desire--the original German is so, so much better than the Meg Ryan/Nicholas Cage City of Angels.

A co-worker of mine used to get free movie passes to previews, and so I saw a lot of things before they hit the theaters, including Firelight, which I don't think many people have heard of.

I can't bring myself to watch City of Angels. It somehow feels disloyal to Bruno Ganz and Rilke and anyone vaguely connected with Wings of Desire.

You could almost have the Otto Sander/Bruno Ganz film festival, if you rented The Marquise of O, Wings of Desire, and Faraway So Close.

I don't like romantic movies. I don't like one of the movies listed so far.Maybe I'm not romantic.

Legally Blonde
The Blues Brothers
High Fidelity
Sweet Home Alabama
Miss Congeniality
Bull Durham
Slap Shot

Julie

Great Movie....

Better book....

the Christian Slater/ Rosanna Arquette tear jerker, True Romance?

(as opposed to a classic) is "Love Actually."

but I think "Super Sucker" is one of the cutest, funniest movies I've seen in a long time.

Diane Lane and Viggo Mortenson. More sexy than romantic, actually, but a couple of hours well spent.

Four Weddings and a Funeral
Wedding Crashers
When Harry Met Sally
Sleepless in Seattle
Fever Pitch
Meet the Fockers
Meet the Parents
Chevy Chase Vacation

It really is romantic, and the stars are fantastic.

My wife loves it.

Love that movie.

Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymore. Very romantic with a sort of mystical magical twist.
