…we thought that instead we’d focus on the emotion of love, which is what drives a marriage after all. But most of us don’t get to experience the type of love and romance that is portrayed in the movies. If you could live any movie’s love story, which one would it be?
Before I give my answer I would like to wish the hosts of this wonderful meme, the Bumbles (Andy and Molly) a wonderfully romantic anniversary!
This is a tough one, to choose only ONE love story to live? Let me list the parts of four that I would love to take part in. Let’s start with the most cheesy movie on my list – Made in Heaven with Timothy Hutton and Kelly McGillis. They were a couple who met in Heaven and then one had to leave. Would the other leave Heaven, of all places, to follow her? Of course! That’s commitment. Here’s the trailer of the film. You may want some wine with the cheese.
And this moves right into my next one, Serendipity, with John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale. It’s all about listening to your heart and keeping your eyes open to the clues of the universe. And never letting yourself settle for second best.
And next I need a dose of reality with When Harry Met Sally starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal. As much of a romantic as I am I very much hate being put on a pedestal. I want my guy to see me as I really am and love me anyway. And he should be my best friend.
Okay, enough reality, I also want devotion, so my last pick would be The Princess Bride with Cary Elwes and Robin Wright. This man endured death for her and his answer to her requests or desires? “As you wish.” Sigh.
What do you think? Am I asking too much of my husband? What would your movie be?
Stacy's Books 
My favorite part of When Harry Met Sally is the night they first sleep together – when he arrives and she is in tears over her ex, Joe was it?, getting married. She’s a wreck and he’s trying to console her and at one point she cries out “I’m Going To Be 40!” And he asks her when. And she responds “Some Day!” I thought that summed up the way it feels to be longing and waiting for your dreams. You’re always focused on the “Some Day” instead of the Present Day. However, I’m in real trouble next year when those points become one and the same on my 40th ;0)
Happy Anniversary wishes to the two of you as well. As you wish my dear!
I love that “I’m going to be 40!” scene too. Everyone can identify with it and laugh at themselves 🙂 Thanks for the anniversay wishes.
I remember Made in Heaven….that was sooo romantic!
I told my husband my movies last night and he doesn’t remember me making him watch this one.
I’m thinking it will be a good one for our anniversary this weekend.
Those are all great ones! I only did two, but here’s my post!

SERENDIPITY and WHEN HARRY MET SALLY are two of the movies I really liked. 🙂
I love When Harry Met Sally and The Princess Bride! I wouldn’t mind living in those movies. 🙂
There is something wrong with me. I have only seen When Harry Met Sally. I need to get these movies on my Netflix queue.
I’m so glad that you got a few recommendations.
I loved Serendipity too.
my Monday movie
Hi, Stacy! I love When Harry Met Sally too. I also can’t get enough of the music. Harry Connick Jr. is simply wonderful.
I’ve got the soundtrack too.
Totally loved When Harry Met Sally…such a classic!
My choice would be The Princess Bride, unless I could have Mr Darcy, then it would be P&P. I know that’s asking a lot 🙂
I just love all of the characters in PB, good and bad. Love triumphs over all.
Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy was a temptation for this one.
I have to watch Made in Heaven.
Somehow I’m not a Big fan of When Harry met Sally. It was a nice movie, but thats all.
