I love games.
Tinka asks about romantic films, and has had me obsess about these for a while now. An entirely romantic film, that is also, well, good? What constitutes a Romantic Film?
Does it have to be romantic through and thorugh?
Is it a person-meets-person, persons-go-through-troubles, persons-get-back-together traditional structure type thing?
I can think of many films with romantic scenes in them, but an entirely romantic film, that I also like, is difficult to find. I wholly stand by Tinka's choices (Moulin Rouge, The English Patient, Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's), have come up with A Room With A View as well, can see John's point of Beautiful Girls and Say Anything, but can mainly think of romantic parts of films that are not necessarily romantic. Such as:
* Robin Williams and Amanda Plummer having dinner in The Fisher King.
* Jake Gyllenhaal and Jena Malone walking down a set of stair in tune to the music in Donnie Darko.
* Rutger Hauer saying goodbye to Daryl Hannah in Blade Runner.
* Woody Allen and Diane Keaton chasing lobsters in Annie Hall.
And then there's the films which I probably would, in the end, shove into the Romantic Film category:
My Own Private Idaho, Out of Sight and True Romance.
There must be more. Must try to come up with others.
