I was watching "Casablanca" the other day and it just did not resonate with me at all. This despite it being called a "classic", I just didn't feel it.

I also caught wind of "Gone with the wind" and it also just did not impress me.I thought perhaps I am missing something.

The only movie that seemed to impress me-without me flinching- and it wasn't exactly what one would call "romantic",was "Life is beautiful"

The love story between them-before the whole Nazi invasion situation- was just so lovely.

I guess I love the idea of creating something beautiful in the simplest of ways within extraordinary and sometimes very painful circumstances. That gets me very teary-eyed.

I don't watch movies anymore, but in written media my drug of choice is Edwardian romance. I love nearly everything about it. Most, probably, that there is no great drama, it's just ordinary everyday life(well, for only a certain class) and in this peaceful, quiet space, something magical is created. The constant and unexpressed sexual frustration is so fun to read. You KNOW it's going on, but no one is saying anything. You need to look for very subtle signs. It's refreshing when you're not being thrown things in your face.

I especially like Edwardian AU fanfiction. (oh the shame) I am a complete sucker for reimaginings of Pride and Prejudice in any possible iteration.

Yeah, Virgo Venus in 6th here. That's why I love the movie "Dedication" with Billy Crudup, that guy is absolutely amazing!
The movie is weird and hilarious but also charming and subtle overall.

I also like when the love is a little bit "forbidden", but the couple don't care because their chemistry is just so perfect… I like that fact, that two people can be so determined that they love each other and doesn't care about the rest of the world <3

I LOOOOVE romantic movies

Scorpio venus in 5th house…. I also love the more "Light" comedian kind of romantic movies, such as "10 things I hate about you", "How to lose a guy in 10 days" and all that…where two couples don't like each other at first, but is kind of forced to be together, and then they develop feelings<3
