Top 5 Happily Ever After Films

ya ya ya, i know Valentine's Day is over but i feel like the whole month of February has that V-Day feel in the air. least in my world. Here's a list of my Top Five romantic movies with happy endings. please feel free to comment.

Punch-Drunk Love

If Annie Hall's tag line for the movie was 'A Nervous Romance' I'd have to say this tag line should be a 'Quirky Romance.' Adam Sandler is, for lack of a better word, awesome in this movie. With the writing and direction of PT Anderson and the score of Jon Brion, you can't help but watch magical art unfold before your eyes.

The Notebook

i promise my man crush on ryan gosling had nothing to do with how much i liked this film. ya i admit it was tad melodramatic at times. But the story was, you have to admit, gripping. Especially when, knowing the American divorce rate is over 50%, you see elderly couples being married after 50+ years you can't help but feel some light of hope.

True Romance

Tarantino's first script was raw and original. This movie has some of my favorite scenes including the Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken scene. And the unrecognizable Gary Oldman and Christian Slater scene. Some might say that it's a guy flick but I think any girl would go crazy if a guy rescued her from her pimp, got rid of him for good, then ran away and married you. Sounds like something biblical!

High Fidelity

Nick Hornby knows his music...and he knows how to write a decent story with rich characters. I've seen this movie a gazillion times and I still laugh. This is the perfect film for any guy who's been through a few break-ups or two and also happens to have a substantial library of music on his iTunes or in his head at least.

Say Anything

I can say one word and you'll remember this movie: boom-box.
The Ultimate romantic movie of the 80's. Even though I haven't enjoyed anything Cameron Crowe's done since Almost Famous TEN years ago, I still think he's always been a great filmmaker. It has some of the best romantic scenes I've seen in movies in the past 20 years. Had lovable original characters and great dialogue with some of the best lines of the 80's romance movies. Not to mention-killer soundtrack!

So which one of these films are my favorites?? ...i dunno...But I know that I don't know.
