Best Romance Movie/Story...?

[O'nus]

Hello, I am trying to do some research for an upcoming book of mine. What is the best romance movie/story you have seen that suits the following: - The couple loves each other. - Their love is coupled with interdependence and how much they understand each other. In other words, not a movie where love is simply unconditional love or a romance movie where love is an eternal power,entity, etc. I am having great difficulty finding a story that encapsulates this. (Another reason why I am writing the book). ~

I don't even know if this is anything to do with what you're talking about but the video game for Playstation Two called Final Fantasy X has a great romantic story line. Just thought I'd like to point that out. Ideas from that maybe?

I don't even know if this is anything to do with what you're talking about but the video game for Playstation Two called Final Fantasy X has a great romantic story line. Just thought I'd like to point that out. Ideas from that maybe? Is that with Tidus and what's her name..? I don't remember it being very romantic so much as a developing crush on each other..? It was the first FF (I think..?) to have a romantic fmv with a kiss though. ~

[Jdeadevil]

Yes, it was. I thought the same. Her name is Yuna, but the girl should really be Rikku because she is much prettier than Yuna. And on that note she is better at everything besides summoning monsters which isn't very lady like.

If you want to appeal to the vast vast masses watch "the notebook" I hate it; but every other person loves it. For brilliance, look at "Romeo+Juliet". The modern version diected by Baz Luhrmann. With gangsters and stuff. On hindsight I think this Romeo+Juliet is perfect for what you have requested.. It's also a brilliant film.

If you want to appeal to the vast vast masses watch "the notebook" I hate it; but every other person loves it. I considered Notebook; it comes close but as close as Michael Jackson is to being human. It is not really illustrating the romance story I am seeking. For brilliance, look at "Romeo+Juliet". The modern version diected by Baz Luhrmann. With gangsters and stuff. On hindsight I think this Romeo+Juliet is perfect for what you have requested.. It's also a brilliant film. Erm.. is this the one with Leonardo DiCaprio..? ~

Yeah "The Notebook" One of my favorite movies ever. *tear* And "A Walk top Remember", "Titanic" You know the usuals I read a really nice book called, "Jason and Kyra" By Dana Davidson. And a book that turned out to be surprisingly good was, "True to the game" By Teri Woods. You have to be a bit open minded about it though. Some of these may or may not fit the type of stuff you're looking for. I'm sure I have others, I'll think and post later. Uhm actually probably wont fit the type you're looking for.

Yeah "The Notebook" One of my favorite movies ever. *tear* Just as I said. I hated it, but it has the teenage girl market without exception.

[O'nus]

I'm sure I have others, I'll think and post later. Uhm actually probably wont fit the type you're looking for. See what I mean? It is hard to find... how come most romance is about falling hopelessly in love before even knowing the person? Or focusing on the power of love? Why not what love is and how it can empower the interdependence between two people? I think I will just go ahead and write the book.. ~

[Xox]

Hmm well I understand what you are wanting more clearly now. You can still try "Jason and Kyra" although its may be a bit teenish to you. And "A Walk to Remember" for that matter.

[Grod]

Just as I said. I hated it, but it has the teenage girl market without exception. Why would you even consider watching that?

[Mes Tarrant]

"A Walk to Remember" is not what he's looking for. I understand your search O'nus. *sigh* Reminds me of how people in movies just walk away or just hang up the phone abruptly after they're finished talking without saying, "okay see ya later" or anything. Very unrealistic. JDea I can't believe you find Rikku attractive.

[Carôusoul]

Why would you even consider watching that? You'll learn the day you become a man; and need to suffice to the needs of a female compadre.

On hindsight I think this Romeo+Juliet is perfect for what you have requested.. It's also a brilliant film. That film rocked. Not a perfect film, but very, very good. I appreciated it more as a film about Shakespearean language, our language, and such more than a romance, though. Not that it failed at the romance. Transformers has kissin' in it.

I recommend two Ingrid Bergman movies: Notorious (directed by Hitchcock,) and Casablanca. Two of the finest complex love story movies I've ever seen.

[Grod]

You'll learn the day you become a man; and need to suffice to the needs of a female compadre. I was only 12-13 when that came out. Even now if it came out there's no way in hell I would take a girl out to see that.

Casablanca?

[Moonbeam]

You want a happy ending or sad?

[O'nus]

Casablanca? Casablanca is actually the complete polar opposite of what I am looking for. Casablanca's love story isolates in the unconditional love that just miraculously occurs (they don't even know each others names for a while or what each other does for a living, etc.). Moonbeam: Sad or happy, does not matter. I am looking for a movie that shows how love can be a pinnacle of understanding between two individuals. ~

Love Story is a tear-jerker. Too corny?

I'm trying to think of some of my favorite love stories. Requiem for a Dream is a phenominal love story I think anything where the male (I guess it could be female) decides they're resolved to stick by their loved one even in unrealistically hard times or resigning to a fate that most people couldn't Like, the notebook (puts on flame shield) is kind of cool in that the old dude chooses to live with his wife with dimensia and simply will not give up trying to get her to remember. Um... oh Metropolis is a fantastic love story. I can't even describe what makes it so good, just watch. Yeah I don't know, my preferred type of love story is just one where the main character simply will not give up on their loved one no matter what. I don't know what you mean when saying interdependence. Like, do you mean they are incomplete people until they find each other or what?
