Ghost: A love story about a couple played by Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. After her lover dies, he returns as a ghost to warn her that there is more to his death than meets the eye and he can't cross over until the mystery of his death is resolved. A story of a couple torn apart way too soon in their relationship. Plus, there's a sexy "making pottery at the kiln" scene that was spoofed a few times on some comedy shows. I will never forget this moment. I bawled my eyes out after seeing it in the theatre for the first time; mostly because I realized that the guy I was with at the time wasn't the love of my life and this movie showed me how love could potentially be. My relationship eventually ended. The power of movies.
Head in the Clouds: A sweeping romantic drama set in the 30s about three friends, a man and two women who end up having some sexual adventures together. As the world drifts towards war, Charlize, who plays Gilda, insists on continuing to live her hedonistic lifestyle while her friends (Stuart and Penelope) become compelled to fight fascism which drives them all apart. Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend (who are a real life couple) and Penelope Cruz star.
The Bridges of Madison County: A novel adapted to the screen about a love story set in the 60s about a married woman (played by Meryl Streep) who ends up having an affair with the love of her life, a photographer for National Geographic magazine (played by Clint Eastwood). A story about the decisions, consequences and sacrifices women sometimes need to make, not only for themselves, but for their family. The acting is phenomenal and the writing heart wrenching as the story unfolds about lovers who desperately want to be together but can't because of circumstance. Clint really surprised me in this movie with his acting chops.
The Doors: Sex, drugs and rock 'n roll at its peak. A story about the rock 'n roll group The Doors with Val Kilmer playing the lead singer Jim Morrison. It tells the story of the life and times of The Doors. Val is impeccable here as Jim Morrison and super sexy (FYI). I couldn't imagine anyone else playing Jim Morrison. Meg Ryan plays one of his lovers who's also great in this role which is a departure from her typical romantic comedies. You go girl!
The Hunger: Another movie about vampires. Hmmm, I sense a theme here. John (played by David Bowie) and Miriam (played by Catherine Deneuve) play vampires in "love". For now that is, until Miriam gets tired of John and decides to take a new lover; a doctor who researches premature aging named Sarah, played by Susan Sarandon. It's dark, sexy and scary. Don't visit their house though because you may never leave!!
The Secretary: Maggie Gyllenhaal plays a woman recently released from a mental institution. She gets a job as a secretary with a boss who is a demanding lawyer played by James Spader. Little does she know that she will be doing a little more, than just typing for him. Bad secretary! A little spanking never hurt anyone!
Spiderman: One of the sexiest kissing scenes ever between Spiderman (aka Peter Parker) and Mary Jane Watson. And upside down no less! Ahhh, the adventure of new love!
Unfaithful: The story of a married woman who has a very sexy and extremely hot affair with a much younger man. But then her husband finds out. And well, you know how that goes. (Notice in the photo on the right, which is a still from the movie, it looks just a little hotter with Diane Lane's mouth open like she's completely spent from all the crazy sex they just had!)
Stay tuned for Part 3!!
