Time for LOVE!

One of my recent favorite love story movies is: LETTERS to JULIET - Summit Entertainment - 2010

It is based upon a certain basic true story in Italy. The back cover says: "In Verona, Italy - the beautiful city where Romeo first met Juliet - there is a place where the heartbroken leave notes asking Juliet for her help. It's there that aspiring writer Sophie finds a 50-year-old letter that will change her life forevcr. As she sets off on a romantic journey of the heart with the letter's author, Claire, now a grandmother, and her handsome grandson, all three will discover that sometimes the greatest love story ever told is your own."

It stars the young Amanda Seyfried (who is wonderful in roles like this) and the famous Vanessa Redgrave. Yes it's two thumbs up for this one from me.

NIGHTS in RODANTHE - Warner Brothers Pictures - 2009 - Richard Gere and Diane Lane -  a very touching love story.
......

LAST CHANCE HARVEY - Alliance Films - 2009 - Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson - as it says on the front: "Richly funny and touching, it's too good to resist!"
......

NEVER BEEN KISSED - Twentieth Century Fox - about 2002 - a comedy love with big-heart - Drew Barrymore.
......

EVERLYN - United Artists - 2002 - Pierce Brosnan like you have never seen him.  "A Near Masterpiece, A Wonderful Film." - Larry King. "Genuinely Inspirational." - Chicago Times.
It is based on a true story.
......

THE SOLOIST - Dreamworks Pictures - 2009 - back cover says: "....an extraordinary and inspiring true story of how a chance meeting can change a life.....a Los Angels newspaper reporter who discovers a brilliant street musician.....and the unique friendship and bond that transforms their lives...." - Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr.
......

PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS - Columbia Pictures - a few years back - Will Smith in a very touching role of the true story of a man, who with his young son, climbes up from the street to success.
......

Ah indeed all very fine love stories that come in different packages, but all with LOVE in the center.

I think all these love movies I've mentioned on the Meltdowns should all be shown to Middle and/or High School kids as part of their time out in education. Maybe we would have a world with a lot more love and not hate or discrimination or bullying.
