Romantic movies are always in season, but on those rainy afternoons in spring, I simply love grabbing one or two of my favorite romance movies, popping them into the dvd player, settling down under a warm blanket and letting the romance of their stories wash over me.
As the rain drops are softly falling on the flower buds in my backyard, the awakening of love is unfolding on the screen. For just a little while, I am resting and allowing my heart to absorb the nurturing effects of a fabulous love story.
Like the flowers, we all need those rainy days and the tender time of restoration they provide.
Persuasion
Ibidii selected one of my own personal favorites to review when she wrote her article.
The movie Persuasion is packed with those heart stopping moments of unobserved love and longing so clearly evident to the viewers in the faces of the characters, but carefully hidden from the view of the object of their desire.
A love that stood the test of time, separation & persuasion.
The Bridges of Madison County
Because of her recommendation, I watched and experienced my own shower of tears over this movie.
Ironically, I found it too was the story of a love the stood the test of time, separation & persuasion.
Romantic Movies Reviewed
Some days seem to be made for romantic movies. There are some movies we know that we will love when we see the trailers, or even the cover of the dvd. But, there are others that are discovered because someone took the time to write a review, we separated ourselves from our daily schedules and were persuaded to encounter love.
