Movie Recommendations

 

Okay~ So some random day I decided to watch one of my all time favorite romance movies, and now i'm itching to share people my favorite romance movies. Please note that I rarely really love a romance movie. Like really really love. And it's pretty hard to make me feel kilig; It's hard to make me have butterflies, feel giddy, and such with romance movies. I only feel those in some romance movies.

So here are my favorites:


10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
This is the movie that I was pertaining to above. This movie features the late Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Larisa Oleynik and more. This movie was released on 1999, a year after I was born (So I was about a year old), yet I still love this movie so much. The movie is loosely based from Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, which is also the only work of Shakespeare that I like, which you will realize when you see the countless Shakespeare stuff  in the movie.

It's about two sisters who has a very strict father who doesn't allow them to date. Their father then decides that the younger sister can date if the older sister does. A guy, who likes the younger sister then pays a guy to date the older sister so that he could go out with the younger sister.

I dunno, I just found the film so logically sweet. I freaking love the interactions between the older sister and the guy who dates her. The movie is just so funny and romantic at the same time. It isn't full of romance either, and gives quite a lesson with family matters, sibling matters, friendship matters, and self matters. Maybe it's because i'm also a Tsundere that I love this movie. The older sister's poem in the end is just adasjfgsfjkgakjfgakjsf.

 


Music and Lyrics (2007)
After I watched this movie, all I thought was "Brilliant!". Simply brilliant. This movie features Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. It was released on 2007. I'm not sure if it's based on a true story or not though. I'm quite confused myself, but it still is a great movie. This film brought light to the song "Way Back Into Love".

Hugh Grant plays a former singer who wants to revive his career. He gets an opportunity and needs to write a song for a rising pop singer, although he isn't that good at composing lyrics and asks help from an aspiring writer (Drew Barrymore). 

This film was really nice. As a person who loves music, and as a person who loves singing and writing songs, I found this film brilliant. Not only did it give a spicy romance, it showed how everyday lives and a person's own emotions affect music. It also gave a lot of lessons in not only love but life itself as well. 

 


Friends With Benefits (2011)
Apparently, I have a thing for Rom-Com movies. This movie features Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. Yes, it does have a hot cast lol. It was released in 2011 and is usually compared to No Strings Attached, which features Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman.

Mila Kunis plays a New Yorker girl who hires Justin Timberlake, a Los Angeles boy, as an art direct in a company. Both of them recently broke up with their significant others and, after meeting, they become friends immediately. Being sick of getting broken hearted, both of them decided to have a relationship where they sleep together yet they don't have any commitments nor emotional feelings.

You might think that this movie is just like with a story, but no... maybe yeah, but just like the other movies on this list, it has tons of lessons which you can use in your own life. It doesn't focus on romance and shows the significance of friends, as well as family. It even shows openness to homouality. It's usually compared to No Strings Attached, which has almost the same plot where two people agree on having a ual relationship without putting their emotional stability on the line. But, personally, I like Friends With Benefits better since it's more fun to watch and I found more lessons in it as well as more "sweet" scenes. The jokes in this movie has that stupidity and logic in it so I find it more fun to watch than No Strings Attached. But I did enjoy both movies.

 


Pride and Prejudice (2005)
This is a little bit different from the rest of the movies on this list. This movie features Keira Knightly and Deborah Moggach. It is based on Jane Austen's book Pride and Prejudice.

Keira Knightly and Deborah Moggach's characters are so different in many ways. Keira Knightly's character is from a not-so-wealthy family while Deborah Moggach plays a man who is from a wealthy family. It focuses on Keira Knightly's character dealing with prejudice. Although they were two different people, the two main characters fall in love, and even receives rejection from Deborah Moggach's family.

I'm a bit of a feminist and I really find Jane Austen's writings good. Unlike some other movies, this movie shows a woman who fights for herself and her family. I just seriously love it. It shows a wealthy man overcoming his pride and a woman overcoming prejudice. It may not have the humor and carefree stuff the other movies have, but I still really enjoyed this movie, as well as the book.

 


I Give My First Love To You (2009)
The only asian movie on this list. This movie features Mao Inoue and Okada Masaki. It is based on the manga 'I Give My First Love To You'.

Okada Masaki plays a guy who has a severe heart disease and Mao Inoue plays his childhood sweetheart who becomes his girlfriend up until he grows up. 

This is the only asian movie here because it's the only one I thought of when I was making this list, meaning this was one of the movies that really stuck to my mind and heart. I dunno... this movie just hits you in the feels T~T I still cry whenever I watch this and it shows how strong love could be. Myungsoo even loves this movie lol
