My movie fix.

Ever since I’ve been home, I’ve filled my evenings either using to computer or watching TV –or both!

Since TV officially sucks on weekends, I usually scout around all weekend and turn our entire movie collection upside down looking for the perfect movie to watch. Today, I decided it was time to get a new DVD so I went to the store. The only thing they had that I was interested in was “Two Weeks Notice” (I love Hugh Grant AND Sandra Bullock –I thought, This is going to be like Notting Hill, only better!!!)

So I got that and watched it tonight. It was cute. We all had a good laugh.

But it just didn’t do it for me tonight. I liked the movie, but I just couldn’t relate to it. I suppose I wasn’t in the mood for romantic comedy. I want something more intense, something with more passion: something I can cry to.

Is it too pathetic of me to prefer sad stories to happy ones? Maybe I really am intentionally sabotaging my own relationships to create drama which I love to seek out.

My most favorite movie in the world? “What Dreams May Come”. No cute love/hate relationships (I can’t relate to that!) or shallow high school romance for me. I go for the real deep stuff; the kind of love that goes beyond life – even if it ends prematurely in death. Moulin Rouge, Romeo and Juliet, Gladiator returning to his wife in death (although I know that wasn’t a love story movie).

It’s simple: I want love. Nothing casual, and not just a cute-couple situation. Not “I think I like you” but “I can’t live without you”. And not just at the end of the movie, but throughout. It has to be entirely consuming. I prefer drinking it straight: undiluted, passionate and intense. However bad it is for me.

So, any good movie suggestions anyone?
