Films for Valentine's Day
If you always wanted your life to resemble some film this Valentines Day you could think the same for two the rigmarole of DVD movie marathon only gets better with Valentines around the corner. So pop some corn and get some cola and let some evergreen romance flicks help you snuggle up with the significant other.
If the subject is love then can Robert Redford, one of the greatest lover boys of movies be wandering elsewhere? Absolutely not Watch him in Barefoot in the Park keeping pace as the hapless husband to a zany Jane Fonda, you'd realize why your mom and her mom were nuts about Redford Barbara Streisand and Redford's unrequited love in the way We were and his epical romance with Meryl Streep in Out of Africa would surely sum up the night unlike ever before.
In case unfulfilled love isn't on the agenda then Woody Allen's Annie Hall with its tale of two people so made for each but just not meant for each other would surely make you cherish every moment spent together. Spelling hope for all those who haven't found the 'one', the Bridges of Madison County, is an ode to a lifelong romance spawn from a few days of togetherness. Middle aged Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep meet, fall in love but she won't leave her husband and children and he respects her too much to convince her otherwise.
If classic love is what you seek then look no further than Doctor Zhivago, Casablanca, Mughal-E-Azam. Try Guide, one of the greatest Indian films ever. Dev Anand's passion for a married, Christian woman turns his life upside down but the he never lets go off her. Relive the frolic laden Dilwale Dhulaniya Le Jayenge and get a taste of just about everything accompanying love. if it's a party of love then can the original lover boy of contemporary Hindi cinema Aamir Khan be missing? Rent out Dil Hain Ki Maanta Nahin and pray for a similar companion on the journey of a lifetime
If they ever told you that love didn't need words then maybe they got the idea from David Lean's Brief Encounter. two people married to others find love in this desperate tale of unconsummated love set around a railway station where their paths cross. And if someone told you that time kind of stands still when you are in love then they too weren't too off the mark. Wong Kar Wai's in the Mood for love is unlike any love story you'd ever see. Constant separations from spouses get a man and a woman closer but turns out that the missing spouses are having an affair with each other.
Maybe the cola should now give way to the gorgeous red wine lying idle in your kitchen And may we suggest a little dance. give the mundane a miss and try the Last Tango in Paris. this summer-winter romance between a much older Marlon Brando and the nubile Maria Schneider would surely steam things up. But if the bizarre artistic storyline might keep your partner glued to the screen then how about the good old Ghost? with its right-at-the-beginning hot potter's wheel scene with a scantily clad Demi Moore, it's enough to set the mood.
Just be careful don't get too involved in the 'reel' love lest you miss out on 'real' love
