I'm reading Bram Stoker's Dracula right now and loving it. A few years ago I had to read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein which I also enjoyed. There is something so beautiful, tragic, and romantic about the two stories. I'd definitely recommend both of these horror classics.
I adore this photo. She is lovely. The make-up artist in me is screaming "look at those eyebrows! Perfection!"
Original Morticia Addams; full of grace.
Vampires. Romantic.
Then I got to thinking about some of my favourite movies and was surprised by some of the romantic themes each of them had.
For anyone that cares here's a little list of some movies I could watch again and again:
Amelie
1996 Romeo and Juliet
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
How funny is it that if asked I would probably say my favorite genre of movie is comedy and that I don't like romantic comedies? I can't stand a typical romantic comedy with the lame story that is so easy to figure out after 10 mins. I like watching comedies because often my own life can be really upsetting and it's fun to just watch something so stupid and laugh my face off; as my wise esthetician said (about comedies) "It's like eating junk food! How can you not like it?" Such a smart women.
However, the movies I listed as my favourites are all about something more than just romance and I have more movies that I would consider my favourites outside of these ones (for example, Crash which is about racism on so many levels, but I couldn't find any good youtube clips).
What are your favourite movies?
