Romantic Movies . . . The Bodyguard

One of my favorite romantic movies!  It is one of those movies that I have seen many times and will watch many more times.

It was Whitney Houston's acting debut as a stalked music superstar tormented by death threats who hires an ex-Secret Service Agent to protect her, played by Kevin Costner.  

The romantic-thriller was the second highest-grossing film of 1992 and was nominated for four Grammy Awards, winning three, including Album of the Year for its soundtrack album.  CNN reported that Whitney Houston's film album for "The Bodyguard" was "one of the top 10 best-selling albums of all time" according to Billboard.

The movie was written by Lawrence Kasdan back in the 1970's, originally intending the leading roles for Steve McQueen and Diana Ross.

Warner Bros. announced in 2011 that a remake of the film is in the works in order to update the movie to reflect the Internet world.  The rumor is Brittany Spears is up for the lead role.


RIP Whitney Houston . . .

Romantic Movies . . . The Notebook

The Notebook is my favorite

 romantic film of all time!

Social differences in the early 1940's separate a poor, passionate young man and a rich young woman who fall in love.  Their story is narrated from the present day by an elderly man telling the tale to a fellow nursing home resident.

The Notebook is a 2004 romance film starring James Garner, Gena Rowlands, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, directed by Nick Cassavetes, based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. 

This movie is a must-see for hopeless romantics!

Check out the trailer for the movie :)

In celebration of Valentine's Day, I'll be featuring some of my favorite romantic movies from the past . . .

What are some of your favorite romantic movies?

Music From Another Room is one of those romantic comedies that I love best . . . a story of love, romance, fate and destiny. 

This entertaining movie released in 1998 follows the adventures of Danny (Jude Law), a young man who grew up believing he was destined to marry Anna, the baby girl he helped deliver as a five year old boy when his neighbor went into emergency labor. Twenty-five years later, Danny returns to his hometown and finds the irresistible Anna Swan (Gretchen Mol) and falls madly in love with her, but she barely notices him since she is already engaged to Eric (Jon Tenney). 

In pursuit of Anna, Danny finds himself involved with each member of the Swan family including blind, sheltered Nina (Jennifer Tilly), cynical sister Karen (Martha Plimpton), big brother Bill (Jeremy Piven) and dramatic mother Grace (Brenda Blethyn). 

The movie follows his fight to prove that fate should never be messed with and passion should never be practical.
