I am dipping into another one of my chick flick crazes. Yeah, I know--you don't have to tell me. The only problem is that there is a very limited supply over here. Max sent me a couple DVDs when I first got here that I am forever grateful for. One is The Holiday with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet. The other is called Away From Her which is a story about an aging couple battling with the wife's onset of Alzheimer's disease. Its a heart-wrenching story that will leave you longing to cherish every second of your life and the lives of those you love. It also topped my list of Best Movies For Crying which also includes Simon Birch and I Am Sam. Oh yes, go rent it or buy it if you can!
Anyhow, so I watched The Holiday again tonight and began searching the internet for classic chick flicks that I want to see/own. Here is a starting list in no particular order:
An Affair To Remember *
When Harry Met Sally
To Have and Have Not *
Singin' in the Rain *
Love Affair *
My Favorite Wife *
Catch and Release
Unfinished Business
Breakfast at Tiffany's*

Hope Floats
Where the Heart is

The English Patient
All About Eve*

I love some of those movies. The problem I have with watching the romantic chick flicks now is that they all remind me that I'm alone. Well, not ALONE, I'm in a great relationship, but it's hard to go and snuggle up to your partner when they are 3000 or in your case what...7000 miles away! Something like that I think. Either way, I try not to watch them very often. I always wind up crying.
Well of course you wind up crying! That's the point! :P But I like watching them because I'm living vicariously through them! Yeah...
Eh, I'm just tired of crying! haha!! And I don't NORMALLY cry during chick flicks, except that one time (and one time only) during the Notebook, and the first time we watched I am Sam. Crying all the way home from the theater, crying on the phone with Eric, looking at you and crying all over again?!? haha!
I feel so much more emotional nowadays..I can see a commercial with a couple kissing and want to cry! I'm such a sappy girl. I could puke.
Hey baby, we own The English Patient. It's not a good movie, even for a Chick Flick. Sorry, but at least now you know.
