10 Best Romantic Date Movies

December 5th 2009 13:35
Depending on what movies you and your partner enjoy, you'll probably find that your favorite date movies may be different from another person's. Some people prefer drama over comedy, or chick flicks over action, so you know what? The best date movies will vary for everyone.

It's not as simple as you think to come up with a list of the best date movies ever without listing most of them, excluding kids movies, many family movies, scary movies, and depressive movies. That's just my opinion. You may feel that your favorite movie to watch with your date is a family movie, that's just your opinion.


If you're looking for a romantic date movie, you may want to consider one of the following 10 movies.

1. "Love Actually" - Hugh Grant and Keira Knightley
2. "Knocked Up" - Seth Rogan and Katherine Heigl
3. "The Princess Bride" - Robin Wright Penn, Cary Elwes, Chris Sarandon, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant, and Christopher Guest
4. "Sleepless in Seattle" - Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
5. "While You Were Sleeping" - Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman
6. "Notting Hill" - Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant, Hugh Bonneville, Emma Chambers
7. "Bull Durham" - Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins
8. " A Knight's Tale" - Heath Ledger and Shannyn Sossamon
9. "Ever After" - Drew Barrymore as Danielle and Dougray Scott
10. "Shakespeare in Love" - Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes



As you can see, these movies range are all over the board, but there is at least one for everyone.

Romance- Men/Womens' Poems

March 16th 2009 09:48
I was sent this in an email a while back, and thought that it would be perfect to post up here. If you've read them already, then read them again. If you haven't, then read them for the first time.

Leave your comments and let me know if you find these poems true or exaggerated.

A Woman's Poem:
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong.
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call, not wait for weeks,

I pray he's rich and self-employed,
And when I spend, won't be annoyed.
Pull out my chair and hold my hand.
Massage my feet and help me stand.

Oh send a king to make me queen.
A man who loves to cook and clean.
I pray this man will love no other,
And relish visits with my mother.


A Man's Poem:
I pray for a deaf-mute gymnast nymphomaniac with
big tits who owns a bar on a golf course,
and loves to send me fishing and drinking. This
doesn't rhyme and I don't give a shit

Watching Chick Flicks

March 12th 2009 12:51
Chick flicks were once known as "Women's Pictures." Essentially, a chick flick is a movie where the main focus is that of the female character versus the male character. The men play the secondary roles, basically.

Most chick flicks involve a main romantic interest, tragedy, an idyllic plot, or some mix therein, which is where they appeal to most females. Personally, I love a good chick flick, even though I am not always a girly girl. It's hard to not like them, when there is almost always a happy ending, except of course in the tragedies.

You'll find that in most cases, male viewers are not interested in these movies, as they prefer action, mystery, and suspense plots, but that doesn't mean that once they see the movie, they won't like it in the end.


Chick flicks make great date movies, as long as the female wants to see the particular movie. I know I've swung a few chick flicks during dates. My boyfriend even enjoyed "He's Just Not That Into You," and I know a number of males who have enjoyed "Knocked Up." It's possible for a male to enjoy a chick flick, but if you give them he option of an action movie or a romantic story, they'll more often than none pick the action movie.

The main thing that should be remembered in regards to chick flicks, is that they're not all sad and sappy, you can have comedy chick flicks that just so happen to have a main romance interest, such as with "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and "40 Days and 40 Nights."



Some of the best chick flicks include:

* "Erin Brockovich" which focuses on the female character as a strong, leading role.
* "Notebook," "A Walk to Remember," and "Nights in Rodanthe" are all Nicholas Sparks books made into movies.
* "The Bridges of Madison County"
* "Serendipity"
* "Runaway Bride"
* "Calender Girls"
* "Titanic"
* "Sweet Home Alabama"
* "Pretty Woman"
* "Bridget Jones' Diary"
* "Sleepless in Seattle"
* "While You Were Sleeping"
* "Steel Magnolias"
* "Sweet November"
* "I Am Sam"
* "Under the Tuscan Sun"
* "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"
* "Romeo and Juliet"
* "Legally Blond" Series

Trashy Romance Novels Make Good Reads

March 11th 2009 14:38
Although, I've never really met a women who avidly read romance novels, I myself have pondered the idea. I have always enjoyed the romance sub-plots in my favorite mysteries, thrillers, and action books, so why not have an entire novel with a little romance? Ha...

Now, not all books that contain a romance can be considered a romance novel, not even if the romance is a big portion of the storyline. A romance novel, according to the Romance Writers of America, must have a central love story and an emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending.


A Central Love Story: In a romance novel, the main plot centers around two individuals falling in love and struggling to make the relationship work. A writer can include as many subplots as he/she wants as long as the relationship conflict is the main focus of the story.

An Emotionally-Satisfying and Optimistic Ending: Romance novels are based on the idea of an innate emotional justice—the notion that good people in the world are rewarded and evil people are punished. In a romance, the lovers who risk and struggle for each other and their relationship are rewarded with emotional justice and unconditional love.

Although, today's most popular romance writer, Nora Roberts, may be your favorite author, you will probably still find enjoyment with the first true roman novels written by Rosemary Rogers, Amii Lorin, Jude Deveraux, and several other earlier romance authors that your mother, grandmother, and possibly great-grandmother found herself lying on the sofa reading.

As for the earliest romance novels, you'll find that Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded by Samuel Richardson (1740), and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin (1813) were probably the first original romances.



There are many different sub-genres of romance novels that you may find yourself more prone to. The common sub-genres include the following.

* Contemporary romance: The largest romance sub-genre that is set after WWI
* Historical romance: Set before WWI, to include the Regency Romance novels that are set in the English Regency or early 19th century
* Romantic suspense: Involves a mystery for the protagonists to solve; typically the heroin is the victim of a crime or attempted crime and works with a hero
* Paranormal romance: Blends real elements with fantasy or science fiction. You may see elements of urban fantasy such as vampires, demons, werewolves, as well as humans with psychic abilities, witches, ghosts, time-travel, extraterrestrial romances, and futuristic romance.
* Science Fiction Romance: Is marked with futuristic romance, such as space travel and such. Jayne Ann Krentz's book, Sweet Starfire (1986) is a great example of a science fiction romance that occurred in another galaxy.
* Fantasy Romance: Is also known as Romantic Fantasy; it's a sub-genre of fantasy fiction, and involves fantasy elements, such as elves, fairies, etc.
* Time-Travel Romances: Is the classic "fish out of water" story, where the heroine travels through time to meet her hero.
* Inspirational romance: Combines Christian themes with the development of a romantic relationship.
* Multicultural romance: Features a hero and/or heroine who have an interracial relationship, typically involving one character of African-American decent, although there are series that include Asian or Hispanic characters.
* Erotic Romance: Is sometimes referred to as Romantica, contains very strong sexual content with frank language and more sex scenes that focus on sex rather than traditional love scenes. Erotic romance may include odd and unusual positions, locations, and acts, which is why it is commonly confused with pornography. The difference between the two, is that erotic romance novels focus on the well-developed characters and a plot which happens to involve sex.

Currently romance books sell billions each year. Women and men of all ages will read romance novels. You'll actually find that about 1% of readers are under the age of 13 and 42% of readers have Bachelor's degrees. And, statistically about 22% of readers are male.

So, if you pick up a romance novel, don't be ashamed, as you'll be one of millions who read them. It's actually averaged that the average romance reader will spend about $40 a month on romance books, so you're $5.00 to test the waters, is definitely nothing to fret about.

Valkyrie is Not a Date Movie

March 2nd 2009 14:11
So my boyfriend and I went out last night, and decided to see a movie. He'd been wanting to go to the cheap $1.50 theater all weekend since we've seen all the good movies at the regular theater, and we finally had a chance to go.

We wanted to see "Yes Man" with Jim Carrey, but it wasn't playing anymore, so we decided to see "Valkyrie" with Tom Cruise. Now, it's a pretty good movie, I'll definitely give it that, but it's just not the best date movie
