Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

"I love you but you have no idea what you are talking about."


Very cute movie. Definitely different! Acting is great and the story is quite funny. Absolutely fantastic in every aspect of film making! Its about two kids from completely different families and in different situations, who find a connection in their shared sense of loss, either from parents who were deceased or parents who were alive, yet never present. The struggles to survive their individual childhoods are soothed by each other. In one another they find the support to move through their pain, progress into adult situations and give each other comfort they couldn't receive from adults. 

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)


"'How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned"



Would you erase the memory of a past relationship if you had your heart's broken? Based on an absurd premise but grounded in real emotion, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is about a man who wishes to erase his ex-girlfriend from his memory after he finds out she erased him first. Life isn't always that easy, as Joel discovers: as he's erasing Clementine from his memory, he's also also erasing some of the best part of his life. Joel starts to fight the memory erasing in a desperate effort to protect what he has discovered he loves most about life ... Clementine. A beautifully structured film, which has the story going both backwards and forwards, that always reminds us how precious our memories truly are.

Two Weeks Notice (2002)


"Before you came into my life I could make all kinds of decisions, Now I'm addicted I have to know what you think"


If you are looking for a cute romantic movie, you can never go wrong with Hugh Grant, who is teamed in this one with Sandra Bullock as an environmental lawyer who becomes Grant's legal eagle and mommy. Though IMDB rating of 5.8 might suggest you something, the movie still is good and heart charming. A bit of more drama and comedy would have made this flick indispensable.
Anyways, coming back to movie, Bullock gets more than she bargains for and finally gives notice - hence, the title. In typical Grant style, he spends rest half of the movie trying to get her back. For sure, his all movies follow the same formula, but they are just fun to watch. The script is funny and decently paced and both are handed good comedy material to sing their teeth into. 

A Walk To Remember (2002)


"Love is just like a wind, you can't see it but you can only feel it"
"I am afraid of not being with you"'
"Find out who you are, and do it on purpose"
"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful"


Landon Carter, the most famous guy in the school, gets into some trouble, and as punishment, his principal makes him a tutor to a younger student, and be in the school's spring play. Jamie Sullivan is considered as outcast in school and is also in the school play. One day Landon realises he's on over his head and ends up asking Jamie for help. A love story about two North Carolina teens who are completely different from each other but made the most romantic move in the movie.

Before Sunset (2004)


"You were, for me, that night - Everything I always dreamt of in life"


Amazingly effective in its simplicity. Two people meet on a train and spend a romantic night together in Vienna - talking, walking, philosophizing and falling in love. Ten years later they meet again by happenstance. That's the premise for Richard Linklater's Before Sunset, a lovely tone poem that stands as a bookend to 1994's Before Sunrise. It didn't seem likely or possible that Richard Linklater could strike gold twice but sequel is every bit as worthwhile as the original.

Pride & Prejudice (2005)


"You have bewitched me body and soul, and I love I love, I love you"
"The one person she cannot stand is the one man she may not be able to resist"
"Believe me. Men are either eaten up with arrogance or stupidity. If they are amiable, they are so easily led they have no minds of their own whatsoever"



Sparks fly when spirited Elizabeth Bennett meets single, rich, and proud Mr. Darcy. But Mr. Darcy reluctantly finds himself falling in love with a woman beneath his class. Can each overcome their own pride and prejudice? There have been countless adaptations of Jane Austen's classic book. Once again the fantastic romantic world of Jane Austen again makes it's way to silver screen. this adaptation is a brilliant achievement that keeps you actively involved from the first scene to the very last scene, just about consuming you with aching romance - and it is sprinkled with humour and intelligence.

Letters to Juliet (2010)


"You need only courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like - love to leave loved ones for, love to cross oceans for but I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it, that I will have the courage to seize it"



A wall in Verona, Italy, is known for Juliet's stone balcony. Lost souls leave letters in the wall of love gone wrong, and love missing in action, and lovers needing advice, and love stories lacking love. A group of Juliet's secretaries answer the letters. An American girl, Sophie, on a pre-honeymoon vacation in Italy finds an unanswered "letter to Juliet" from 50 years ago lying within the wall. She then decides that she must answer the letter and thus begins a quest to find the lost lovers referenced in the letter. Letters to Juliet, which takes its basic inspiration from a true story, is a gentle, charming story that features a winning lead performance from Amanda Seyfried.

The Lake House (2006)


"One man I can never meet. To him, I would like to give my whole heart"


A lonely doctor who once occupied an unusual lakeside home begins exchanging love letters with its former resident, a frustrated architect. Living two years apart in the same house, they must try to unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary romance before it's too late. As they correspond back and forth, creating an intimate relationship through words, they discover they have a connection that bridges the two year gap. When two people "connect" the bond between them can be so pure and simple as to stir hearts in heaven. When they connect in all the right places at all the wrong times, heaven weeps for broken hearts.
