Top 10 Romantic Holiday Movies

, , ,

Every holiday season tv networks fill the air with holiday shows, specials, and movies. If you want to settle in for a romantic holiday night, light the fire, grab a large blanket for two, and settle in for one of these top 10 romantic holiday movies selected by our editors.

Borrowed Hearts: A Holiday Romance.
Borrowed Hearts is an endearing made-for-tv movie about a women, Kathleen, who's saving to buy a house for herself and her daughter, Zoe. She meets Sam, a businessman, who has to pretend he has a family in order to close a business deal with mysterious Javier Del Campo. As the owner of the company that Kathleen works for, Sam convinces her to help him out. But, Campo is more than he seems and it's Zoe who's making the real deal to get a new home for herself, her mother, and Sam.


The Family Man.
Jack Campbell (Nicholas Cage) is a career driven man who has everything until Christmas Eve when he intervenes in a convenience store holdup. On Christmas morning, Jack wakes up with a new life, one where he is married to his college sweetheart (Tea Leoni), has two children, and is a tire salesman. The Family Man is a romantic holiday comedy that will warm your heart.

The Bishop's Wife.
Busy campaigning for the construction of a new cathedral, a bishop (Cary Grant) has become distant and neglectful. This holiday season marks a new low, and it looks as though nothing short of a miracle can help the bishop's wife (Loretta Young) save her marriage. A miracle, or perhaps an angel... Cary Grant plays the angel who comes to earth in this heartwarming Christmas fantasy. The Preacher's Wife, starring Whitney Houston, was the 1996 remake of this classic.


The Shop Around the Corner.
One winter, a romance blossoms between two anonymous pen pals (James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan). Little do they realize that they already know each other (and hate each other) in person! As Christmas draws near, the two decide to meet, but can their love conquer their hate? This lovely, romantic film was the inspiration for the Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks comedy You've Got Mail.


White Christmas.
Crosby and Kaye are song-and-dance men who hook up, romantically and professionally, with a "sister" act (Clooney and Vera-Ellen) to put on a Big Show to benefit the struggling ski-resort lodge run by the beloved old retired general (Dean Jagger) of their WWII Army outfit.


While You Were Sleeping.
On Christmas Day, Lucy (Sandra Bullock) saves the life of a handsome stranger, Peter (Peter Gallagher), who falls into a coma. At the hospital, she is mistaken for his fianc�e by Peter's relatives and is welcomed into the family. With no family of her own, Lucy cannot resist acting the part of daughter-in-law during the holiday season. The illusion would be complete except for one tiny problem: Lucy is falling for Peter's brother, Jack (Bill Pullman). This delightful romantic comedy is a perfect pick for a winter evening.


Remember the Night.
This romantic comedy about the tentative courtship between a beautiful shoplifter and the prosecutor trying to put her in the hoosgow -- just not during Christmas -- is a wonderful holiday gem. Starring tough yet tender Fred MacMurray and streetwise yet fragile Barbara Stanwyck, this Preston Sturges-penned jewel has enough zany elements and dark undertones to make this what some consider to be a noir screwball comedy.


Untamed Heart.
It's another lonely holiday season for Adam (Christian Slater), a painfully shy young man. Orphaned and cursed with a heart ailment, Adam has never allowed himself to get close to anyone. That is, until he notices Caroline (Marissa Tomei), a waitress at the diner at which he works. After he rescues her from a violent attack, she begins to notice him, too. A movie about finding love in unexpected places, this one is sure to touch your heart.


Mixed Nuts.
Starring Steve Martin, Rita Wilson, Juliette Lewis, Adam Sandler
In Venice Beach, California, on Christmas Eve, the oddball staff of a suicide help-line center are going berserk. If wacky, wildly funny humor appeals to you, check out this off-the-wall holiday film, directed by Nora Ephron. From the ukulele-playing neighbor to the transvestite groupie, every character in this film is a "character." This hysterically funny movie is also a heartwarming, romantic comedy.


One Magic Christmas.
It's an especially tough year for one young mother whose worries have robbed her of any holiday cheer. Luckily, her resourceful daughter hooks up with Santa and a guardian angel to turn their Christmas around. Sensitive and truly magical, this movie will remind you why the holidays are so special.


Top 10 Romantic Oscar Winning Movies

, , ,

Movies and romance have always been a perfect match in love. Not only is movie watching the number one date activity, but dating, romance and love are one of the most popular movie subjects.

Movies can be powerful romantic tools. They evoke feelings of joy, desire, eroticism, sensualness, excitement, and love. They combine feelings of excitement and suspense when two destined soul mates finally come together or bring fluttering butterflies to your stomach when two lovers first kiss. Romantic movies take you out of your routine and help to bring an element of romance to your everyday life.

In honor Oscar week, movies and romance, we've compiled a list of the top 10 most romantic Oscar movies of all time:
It Happened One Night (1934)
A classic filled with romance and humor, starring Clark Gable as a hard-bitten reporter and Claudette Colbert as a runaway heiress who have a chance meeting on a bus and end up together on a crazy, romantic journey. The interaction between the two is very romantic and humorous, the classic portrayal of "sexual tension." Funny and sexy, the film is full of memorable scenes.


Gone With The Wind (1939)
Vivien Leigh is Scarlett to Clark Gable's Rhett in cinema's greatest epic of passion and adventure. With its immortal cast, magnificent cinematography and sweeping score, this cherished classic continues to thrill audiences today.


Casablanca (1943)
A much-loved, WWII-flavored story of intrigue and love teaming Bogart and Bergman as ill-fated lovers. Critically acclaimed, it's considered the ultimate classic. A must-see for fans of drama, romance, and suspense.


An American In Paris (1951)
An American in Paris is a musical not quite like anything else in cinema. A GI (Gene Kelly) stays in Paris after the war to become an artist, and has to choose between the patronage of a rich American woman (Nina Foch) and a French gamine (Leslie Caron) engaged to an older man.


My Fair Lady (1964)
A critically acclaimed musical about English professor turning a Cockney flower girl into a high-society flower. This film is a tuneful, lavish, and much-loved for romance fans and lovers of classic Broadway musicals. This original classic has been the basis for many modern day romances like Pretty Woman.


Annie Hall (1977)
Annie Hall is one of the truest, most bittersweet romances on film. In it, Woody Allen plays Alvy Singer, a successful--if neurotic--television comedian living in Manhattan. Annie (Dianne Keaton) is a Midwestern transplant who dabbles in photography and sings in small clubs. When the two meet, the sparks are immediate--if repressed. Despite all their caution, they connect, and we're swept up in the flush of their new romance


Out of Africa (1985)
Danish writer Karen Blixen (Meryl Streep), better known as Isak Dinesen, travels to Kenya to be with her German husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer) but falls for an English adventurer (Robert Redford). This film is emotionally satisfying, rich in beautiful images of Africa and filled with the romantic tone.


The English Patient (1996)
One of the most acclaimed films of modern times, The English Patient is a story of love and loss during World War II. A young nurse tends to an archaeologist who has been burnt to a crisp in a plane crash. As their romance intensifies, he enters a world of love, betrayal and politics that is revealed through a series of flashbacks.


Titanic (1997)
Titanic is the story of lovers, starving artist Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) and soon-to-be-married socialite Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet), whose brief love affair has a tragic fate on board the Titanic. Titanic is an epic love story on par with Gone with the Wind, and like that earlier box-office phenomenon, it's a film for the ages


Shakespeare In Love (1998)
One of the best romantic comedies of the 90's Will Shakespeare has a bad case of writer's block that's cured by a secret romance with Lady Viola, who provides him with passionate inspiration. Unbeknownst to him, Viola has disguised herself as a young man and is playing the lead in Will's play, Romeo and Ethel, the Pirates Daughter. Will's pirate comedy turns into the tragic Romeo and Juliet though, reflecting his own romance with Viola, who is set to marry the slimy Lord Wessex.

Flirting & Body Language

, , ,

Body language, the physical movements and gestures that convey our emotions, is more powerful than spoken language. According to experts, our non-verbal body language represents 50% of what we communicate, while or tone of voice represents 38% and actual spoken words, just a mere 7%. We often don't even realize that we are communicating when are bodies are sending out messages. Because body language is the most important communication factor between potential mates, it's important to recognize the messages that we are sending out and the messages that are being towards us.

So what does this mean for you and your relationships?

If you watch a couple that is deep in conversation, you'll notice how they:
Shift their positions so that they mimic one another. They are generally relaxed, mirroring one another.
Shift their breathing patterns as they conversation moves on.
Adjust their voice volume to match the other person's.
If you understand the basics of body language, you'll pick up these signs making you more aware of how your dates really feel and aware of what non-verbal cues you are sending out. Body language is more than just a quiver or a shiver. It is comprised of many cues that include flirtatious gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, and body posture.

While both men and women use body language as a means of communication, women generally send five times more sexual body language signals than men.

A few of the more common body language cues include:
Personal Space. One of the most important body language cues to watch out for. If he or she enters your personal space, this is an excellent sign that they want to get closer to you. If they enter to quickly, they're more aggressive and you may not want to pursue it further.
The Arm Cross. Not a good sign. This generally means that he or she is not interested and it's time to back off. Anytime you're in a conversation, crossed arms signifies caution and defensiveness.
A Smile. A smile eases the tension. It indicates friendliness, a positive attitude, a good mood, and the impression that you're fun to be with.


Flirting & Conversation
Conversation plays an important role in the flirting process as it is the time when you actually get to know more about one another. The overall goal is to find out if the other person is right for you.

They key to good, flirtatious conversation is to remember that men and women think differently. Either way, make sure you:
Listen attentively.
Find common ground. The most important aspect of your conversation is to find out what you have in common, be it hobbies, friends, jobs, or whatnot.
Don't talk about yourself too much. Answer his questions, but be sure to ask questions about him as well.


Flirting & Physical Contact
There are several different methods of 'touching' in a flirtatious way, but one of the more important cues at the beginning of the flirting process is the casual touch.

The casual touch, should appear casual and accidental. It may be a gentle touch to the arm as you laugh at his joke or a casual touch to your hand as you're deep in conversation. Either way, you want to make sure that it's friendly and that the other person has a positive reaction to the touch. If the person accepts your touch with a friendly gesture or a returned touch, then all has gone well. If he or she moves away or ignores the touch, then they're not open to the situation. In general, the touch assures the other person that you have let down your defenses and have accepted them enough to get emotionally and physically closer.


Final Notes on Flirting
1. Because flirting is the way you discover if someone is attracted to you as well, if you flirt and they don't flirt back, it's safe to say you should move on to the next person to whom you are attracted.

2. Flirting is extremely important at the beginning of the relationship as it's often used in determining the level of interest in dating or sexual activity with the other person. If you're attracted, flirt back!

3. Sometimes flirtatious behavior occurs as a form of entertainment or to have casual sex rather than long term relationships.

10 Ways to Express Your Love Online

, , ,

Saying 'I love you' out loud can send shivers down your sweetie's spine. For those that are in long distance relationships, the telephone doesn't quite give the same effect. To keep the long distance romance alive, the Internet often comes into play. Even if you're not in a long distance relationship, you can use the Internet to add a new dimension of romance and passion to your relationship. If you're looking for a new way to express your love, these online declarations of love more than meet the challenge.


Build a Website
It may sound like a daunting task, but building a website is easier than ever. For those tech savvy romantics, get a domain name such as JaneAndJohn.com, then create a website dedicated to your partner and your relationship. For those that aren't quite as tech savvy, look for a service that provides a free website creator tool. These tools often offer templates where no HTML code knowledge is needed. Generally, you can register the domain name and use the website creator for one low cost. Add some romantic clipart, photos of the two of you, love quotes, anecdotes, and memories of your relationship. Websites are particularly great for wedding proposals or even to chronicle your engagement and plan your wedding!


Create a Love Blog
If you want a quick and easy way to create on online dedication of love, blogging is the way to go. They're free, easy to setup, and easy to maintain. Once you create the initial design, which in itself is quite easy, you need only log in a few times a week and scribe love notes to your sweetie. If you sign him or her up with an RSS reader or even MyYahoo!, they'll automatically receive updates alerting them of your recent love notes. To get started, try Vox.com, WordPress, Blogger, or TypePad.


Create a LoveSpace with MySpace
If you don't already have a MySpace page for yourself, you've more than likely at least heard of the popular social network. MySpace works by giving users the ability to create their own "space" on the web and connect with other people on the network. Our suggestion for MySpace is to create your own LoveSpace on the network. Sign up for a free account and within minutes you'll have a page dedicated to your sweetie. Keep it focused on romance with weekly love notes, romantic poems, and photos. You can even add a romantic love song that plays when s/he visits the page! Make sure to set it up as private so that you feel free to open your heart and write whatever the mood strikes without worrying about prying eyes.


Post Love Messages on Message Boards
If you and/or your partner frequent message boards or forums, take the opportunity to use it as a romantic tool. If allowed (be sure to check all posting rules first), start a thread declaring your love for your partner. Many community oriented forums allow you to create your own online journal within one long thread. Take advantage of this opportunity to post public declarations of love to your sweetie. Even if you don't frequent a forum, find one on a romance related website, such as our own Romance Forum that allows a journal or thread to be posted in dedication to your partner.


Send an eCard
It may seem impersonal or even like a copout (if sent on an important holiday such as Valentine's Day or her birthday), but if you send ecards "just because", they're a great way to add a little romance to your sweetie's day. Browse the various free ecard sites, such as Hallmark.com, for funny, romantic, and sexy ecards. Most importantly though, put a bit of thought into your personalized message. Rather than ending it with 'Love, Your Name', think deep and write from the heart. Surprising your sweetie with a romantic ecard with romantic messages in their inbox will bring a smile to their face.

Now that you've declared your love online, send your partner a message saying "I web you very much".

History of Kissing

, , , ...

Humans have a long history of kissing. Europeans kiss both cheeks. Parents kiss their child's cheek. The Intuit rub noses. The french kiss by... :wink:. Kissing, both casual and romantic, is a common practice, but but we really don't know where or how it began.

There are several different theories as to how kissing all began:
In ancient times, a mother would chew up food and pass it directly to the mouth of her baby. What started as a sign of affection between mother and child most likely spread to romantic relationships. However, some cultures had the same practice of passing food to their children, but knew nothing about kissing.

Some believed that our souls lived in our breath and that kissing brings your soul together, thus combining you together for eternity. This is a romantic theory, but not really one that can be proven true.

Kissing gets you close enough to your partner to smell their scent, giving you knowledge of the person. Animals practice a similar behavior by rubbing against each other.
The theories are just that though. There is no proof or record of where and how kissing originally began. We do know that Europeans were kissing during the Greek and Roman times. It also appears that some form of kissing may have started in India as there are texts from around 1500 B.C. that describe the custom of rubbing noses together, now commonly referred to as 'Eskimo Kissing'.

While we don't know for sure when or where kissing first began, the reference to 'Eskimo Kissing' supports the theory that kissing gets you close to your partner in order to pick up on their scent. When you inhale your partner's scent, you subconsciously learn a lot about the other person by their smell. As we previously noted, most animals engage in a similar behavior.

It seems then that the modern romantic kiss most likely evolved as a way of unconsciously testing the genetic fitness of a potential mate. While this may be the underlying reason as to why we began kissing, it's not really the main reason as to why we continue to practice it. The reason is simple: it feels good, it evokes feelings of passion, and it's a physical connection between ourselves and our partners.

However the kiss began, we're thankful. :smile:

Blue Eyes

, , ,

Wish enough, wise man'll tell you a lie
Window broke, torn up screens
Who'd have thought that you'd dream
Of a single tragic scene

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of you

Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the sweet to my mean

Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna be the one that's true

Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes

All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are

Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny's scene
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna be the one

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna get it on with you

Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna sing a song with you…

Sunny Days

, , , ...

You turn the rain into sunny days
You take the clouds away
Baby you're the one
I feel like heaven's a step away
He sent an angel my way
Baby you're the one

I remember when
I used to be afraid to love again
But now I realize
That you're the one who brings the sun
You turn

[Chorus]

Something real I can feel
I was searching for
I didn't wanna hurt no more
Then you came, made a change
Since you came and made it right
I can love you all my days

[Chorus]

Can you tell me where would I be?
What would I do if I hadn't found you?
Though I've been in love before
You can be compared to none
Cuz you really bring the sun

[Chorus]

I always try to hide the way that I feel
But I can't lie
That you're the one for me
You bring me ecstasy

[Chorus x2]

Sunshine in my life
No more stormy days
Sunshine in my life
No more stormy days
Sunshine in my life
No more stormy days

Why I Am A Girl

, , , ...

I don't have a problem with people who use the word woman or any of it's variations, but as far as I'm concerned, the word is girl. I agree with all the reasons for not liking the word "woman", but all the misspellings of it just look to me like...misspellings. Womyn, wimmin, wymyn, I've even seen wimmen, which makes no sense at all. I don't want to offend any girls who use these terms, but I think it just looks silly. A word spelled wrong just draws twice as much attention to itself, and I think it just defeats the whole purpose. Why alter a word that you don't like? Why not just stop using it? As Karen from Bi-Girl World wrote me once, "I like the term 'girl' because it's absolutely free of any male suffixes." You don't have to change it, just use it. I also think that there're a lot more connotations attached to the word "woman" by society. Girls can play and be tomboys and dress how they like. So I say, I'm a girl. And proud of it!

"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down."
- Woody Allen,

Why Do You Dream?

, , ,

No one actually knows why people dream. Doctors have theories though. One theory that doctors have is: When you are at school, home, or somewhere, there are so many things that are going on that you don't think about during the day, night, etc. When you sleep, in other words dream, you think about all of the things that have happened. Also, during the day or night, if you are worried or upset, or feeling something about someone, something, etc., it all comes out. You think/ dream about it when asleep.

When people ask doctors and/or scientists," Does everyone dream?" Scientists and/or doctors say no. Some say that they are not sure. Some people don't dream. They can skip the 1st stage of sleep: REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. Scientists and/or doctors don't really know why some people can do this. But they can.
