No worries. We've just needed assurance it will continue.

Westley and Princess Buttercup

from

The Princess Bride

 

 

 

 

Prompt: Westley knitting something for Buttercup

 

I feel like I've said this before, but I really, really mean it here: Every moment in this movie is perfect. Every line.  Every gag.  Every kiss.  Every emotion.  Every thing.  William Goldman wrote a masterpiece for fantasy and romance. I remember being obsessed with Westley as a child.

 

 

Westley and Buttercup might be the most romantic and iconic, but let's not forget that the film also has amazing love stories between a Grandfather and a Grandson, and two Best Friends Forever.

 

Again.  Every.  Thing.  Is.  Perfect.

Marion and Indiana Jones

from

Raiders of The Lost Ark

 

 

 

 

 

Prompt: Marion and Indiana finger painting with their child.

 

Indiana and Marion are spunky feisty pair that's dynamite for a throwback story from Spielberg.  There's a ragged maturity to them which makes it felt real and lived in.  They're sweaty and messy, and probably have lot of "we just almost died by snakes" sex when not being chased by Nazis.  

 

@Plain Old Tele wants to add that "good looking but imperfect bodies are sexy.  They don't have time for pilates and yoga and cleanses and personal trainers.  They're gonna drown their emotional and physical pain with a few shots so whiskey and then go punch bad guys and that's the sexiest thing ever."

Alicia Hubert and Deviln

from

Notorious

 

 

 

 

 

Prompt: Alicia having to comfort Devlin because Devlin just encountered a very large, unpleasant bug outside that scared them.

 

GUUUUUH.  This scene is so so sexy.  Thanks to those terrible Hays Codes, there couldn't be kisses on screen longer than like 3 seconds, 4 seconds.  Hitchcock said naaaaah to that.  So the whole scene's three minutes, and they never break their embrace, sneaking 3 second kisses non-stop.  GUUUUUUH.

 

I don't know if this a Hot Take TM, but I think this is my favorite Hitch flick.  And props to Hitch, because I think he's BOT's Sexiest/Romantic Director.  To Catch A Thief, Vertigo, and Notorious all made our list, more than any other director.

Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist

from

Brokeback Mountain

 

 

 

Prompt: Ennis staying up half the night to finish a game with Jack.

 

I remember when this first came out and it was all hype because Gay Sex!  I think we were in the VERY front row at the Indie theater (which was the only place showing it).  And like most things hyped up for crazy reasons, it turns out that's only a smart part of it.  This is a quiet story of long and angst.  And it's just so soft.  Ang Lee's romance eye is unmatched.

Ally and Jackson

from

A Star Is Born (2018)

 

 

Prompt: Jackson and Ally were separated for several years for reasons they couldn't help.  They finally find each other and have a heartfelt reunion.

 

Remember that time Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga had so much chemistry they made the whole internet think they were dating after their Oscar performance?  #Acting.  

 

This could’ve been a disaster.  A remake of a remake of a remake of a remake?  Two already generationally iconic cause they starred Judy and Babs!  Never doubt Gaga.  Backed by one of the best movie soundtracks in decades, her and Cooper make magic between those twelve notes.  I just love how they see them.

Did you say the trope of traveling across space and time to save the woman that you loved? Yes, please.  And then it's a doomed romance too boot?  Inject it into my veins.  James Cameron always knows how to bring the goods when it comes to romance.

Esther and Norman Maine

from

A Star Is Born (1954)

 

 

Prompt: Esther buys a box of sweets and puts them in the cupboard.  Norman spontaneously eats them all in the middle of the night and tries to keep it a secret.

 

BOT LOVES A Star is Born.  It was a SUPER close race between the 2018 (26 Points) and 1954 (28 Points) version, but Judy came out on top like the Queen she is.  I confess I did vote for Judy, because it's Judy, but there's no denying Ally and Jackson certainly are more sensual.

 

Really thinking about it, it's kind of funny this one took the cake, since as I'm typing this, the only thing going through my head is how this is Judy Garland's film, and she give the performance of a lifetime in the dressing room screen, and Harold Arlen wrote, to quote Kendall, "nothing but bangers."

 

The Star Is Born remakes do a great job of centering their couple in the era of the movie.  The tragedy here with Mason's Norman Maine is as man of the 1950's he can't get over his own ego to accept help before it's too late, or let his ego accept being second fiddle to his newly famous wife.  It destroys everything he loves.

 

Here's a really good video about all four flicks:

Su Li-zhen and Chow Mo-wan

from

In The Mood For Love

 

 

 

Prompt: Chow Mo-wan trying to mooch off Su Li-zhen's wif and jokingly putting their own name in as the password, then being shocked that it actually works and they're now connected to Su Li-zhen's wifi...

 

I made the correct choice last year of doing a Tony Leung marathon before Shang Chi, so this one is fresh in my mind.  Where it lives rent free in my mind.  You want sensually?  You want romance?  And you claim that means you want hanky panky?  No. 

 

I want all of those things too -- only I want it as people brushing shoulders against each other passing in the hallway.  You can take you make out scenes.  Give me two unrequited (but wants to be requited) lovers standing against walls showered in beautiful lighting.  

 

In The Mood For Love, as a film, really proves that it's the anticipation we crave not the resolution.  It's the wanting and needing and hoping that goes into waiting for your OTP to admit they love each other/have first kiss.  A good romance is as heart pounding as any action or thriller.  Keeps you on the edge of your seats.

 

And that it also helps when those two (or three) people are gorgeous. *whispers* His Eyes.

Celine and Jesse

from

The Before Trilogy

 

 

 

 

Prompt: Jesse screaming over a picture of Celine from long before they met.  Jesse describes the younger Celine as a tiny precious child, then looks at Celine, and says "Well, you're still my tiny precious child.'

 

I want beautiful people standing against walls, BOT wants beautiful people walking around a city talking.

 

As Mariah Carey says, "Love Takes Time".  No better representation of that in film than Jesse and Celine from Linklater's Before Trilogy. Filmed over an eighteen year period we see Jesse and Celine's love evolve through the different stages of their lives.
