The Notebook is a nice movie.

OFF-TOPIC: My fiancée is pushing me to watch P.S. I Love You. Considering the serious ones we like, should i watch it? She forced me to watch The Notebook too, which was kinda ok and predictable.

P.S. I Love You, is a gr8 movie... Might make u weep..

Its your call buddy!!If you are a sucker for Hollywood romantic movies then go for it and yes I said "Hollywood romantic" 'cause for some reason I don't connect & empathize with the characters except for the ones in Before Sunrise. But on the other hand some of the Korean and Japanese romantic movies have brought me very close to shedding a tear!! If you really wanna weep then gecha hands on some Korean and Jap ones.

She also told me that it will make me weep. I too never connected with Hollywood Romantic movies. Two opposites are getting married!! Think i have to give it a shot for her

Korean gems are... well... real gems.

^^Why duncha do tit for tat?? Make her watch Before Sunrise and Before Sunset and Casablanca. Those are some of the best romantic flicks that Hollywood has churned out so far!!If you haven't watched 'em then you'll be glad too!!

If i left any good director's movie or any movie from the mentioned director, Please update. Thanks in advance

You certainly left out a few and definitely one of the greatest in the history of movie making - Akira Kurosawa!!! Some of his best movies according to me :
Shinchin no Samurai a.k.a Seven Samurais
Rashomon
Yojimbo
Madadayo
High and Low
and there are many more but I can't remember most of 'em right now.

Some great Hollywood flicks :
Almost all Hitchcock's and Welles' flicks!!
Casablanca

Thanks yaar!


PS. I Love You. Quite an average and hollow movie for me. I can't understand why one ends up crying? The Notebook still had that passion and craziness but ILY had too many stupid characters.

It's no fun when two are alike in thoughts. Life would be so boring then.

Thanks yaar!

Before Sunset is much better.

I didn't like Before Sunrise. The making out scene ruined the movie for me. It was totally unexpected and out of blue.

Notebook - The guy was so passionate about the girl, the only thing likeable about it.

So true...

 

[rhitwick]

@Rahim, did you already watch the movie?!!

Its good till it reaches climax...

Not a great movie and obviously not a tear-jerker. Then again I've heard gals having a too-much soft heart...

Make her watch,
If only
Sweet November
Away from her
City of angels
Sweet November
(A walk to remember)

Hollywood I find does not prepare heart wrenching sad movies. They show that falling in and out of love is too easy. People move on as the sun rises the next day.

Korea is best in melodrama...hands down.

 

[Rahim]

^Yah i have watched it right now and told her its bekaar for me, she has watched it twice and both times cried like a baby
She labelled me a hard critic and said you will like If Only....i think watching with her might be a better option.

 

[ssb1551]

^^..I guess its time to pay some heed to my advice!!Make her watch Before Sunrise and Before Sunset and Casablanca. Also of the movies listed by rhitwick , only Away from Her is a very good movie. You guys watch that too!!!

 

[Rahim]

^I have already asked her to watch those. We are getting married in a month, so will watch plenty with her

 

[ssb1551]

Oh congrats in advance!! so she is your fiancee!! well thats true..you guys will have lotta time to watch those movies!!

 

[Rahim]

Thanks

Psycho (1960) - 9/10
amazing movie..the scenes are so entertaining & ending is good too

 

[rhitwick]

@Rahim................ we get to know the breaking (or joining !) news this way?!!! Bad.

But congrats...!!! do remember to post marriage photos...

Precious - Gem. But heavily depressing in parts. Great characterization. 3 more characters including Mariah Carey (who is unrecognizable) besides the main protagonist, Precious, are worth mentioning for their roles. Strong drama. Subtitles recommended because the accent was as good as Scottish or Irish.

P.S. Its not a brainfck movie but it fcks your brain in every possible way.

 

[abhidev]

@Rahim....one advice DO NOT WATCH HALLPASS with her....
