I am in the mood to rewatch one of my favorite movies, the French Un Homme et Une Femme (A Man and a Woman), one of my favorite movies of all time. The movie's two protagonists are both widowers, and the movie follows them as they navigate both their sense of loss and their growing relationship.

Here is a MV which uses the movie's famous theme song and is a good look at the type of movie it is:



I have first discovered this movie as a child - it was (and still is) one of my mother and father's favorite movies. When I was a kid, I admit I found it slow and meandering. Now that I am a grown-up who's in a relationship, this movie has become one of my favorites - it's both one of the most romantic and most realistic movies I've seen.

So, yeah, this is pretty much an oblique push. Check it out! If you care about this sort of stuff, I believe it won both Best Foreign Picture and Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars that year.

If you are looking for a swoony romantic movie with two really hot people, may I recommend "Three Steps Above Heaven," a Spanish adaptation of an Italian best-seller. (The novel has also been adopted into an Italian version but since I haven't seen it, I cannot comment on it).

Tres Metros' narrative revolves around a love story between two young people who couldn't be more different - Babi is an upper-class good girl with spine and Hache is a violent, troubled young man who is heading for a likely future in jail (and I like that he really is a headcase, not a movie version of a very curable bad boy). Their attraction is vivid but can their relationship work? Spoiler for the ending ) Apparently there is a sequel in the works. Mmmm.

Have an unspoilery MV:



A guy this hot? (Honestly, his smirky shirtlessness almost makes me want to swallow my tongue). I'd go slumming too :P

Also, I think I now have the perfect leads for my fantasy adaptation of 'Beautiful Disaster.'

If you need links, PM me or leave a comment and I'll pm you.
