Cary Elwes is the CUTEST!!! (Forget about how he looks now though... )
How can anyone look at him and NOT think GORGEOUS?! Marcus Gilbert is the personification of DREAMY here!
I haven't really put up many songs recently... Well, I haven't really put up much over the last couple of months but my new discovered passion has been looking into old classic romantic movies.... Truthfully, I'm not one who likes romance inspired movies... Too sappy and nonsensical if you ask me. Movies have always been about the thrill and keeping you on the edge. Hence, my avid obsession with thriller and horror flicks. But in the past weeks, I've stumbled upon some truly understated gems in the romance genre. I can't really explain it but somehow the subtlety of the emotions and actions speak volumes than the general heavy duty makeout sessions that romance movies these days seem to indulge in (apart from the fact that the mellow English gentlemen of those times are ABSOLUTELY dreamy!)
I never pictured myself as a romantic. Never. In fact, I think I'm one of the least romantic people in the world. But watching these movies was a little bit of an awakening for me in some ways. These movies hold so much intensity in the slightest of movements. The way a gaze is held, the way the brush of a loved one's fingers across the other's skin, the way an embrace truly means something. These gentlest of actions hold the deepest of emotions. Being a little bit uncomfortable with displays of affections (especially the explicitly graphic ones) its so easy to understand and relate to these stories with the intricacy thats woven within the plot. These pre and early 20th century movies (in my opinion) truly do hold the essence of love. Its not how they display it but how they "speak" it with their actions. The way their eyes hold an everlasting story of love and the way a kiss could mean a pledge of eternity. I know, so these movies aren't the most practical in nature but fact of the matter is, there's something novel about them in this time and age. They bring light to such innocence and the true depth of what love is. Beautiful is the only word that I can find close to a description.
Some of the movies that I have spent hours watching have been....
1) A Hazard Of Hearts
2) Lady Jane Grey
3) A Room With A View
4) A Ghost in Monte Carlo
5) Sense and Sensibility
6) Tristan and Isolde
To name a few. Very beautiful movies... My favourites are A Hazard of Hearts (Marcus Gilbert is GORGEOUS!) and Lady Jane Grey (Cary Elwes- CUTE! And I don't even like blondes!)
