When the time comes to list the most romantic movies of all time, the list will include films like "Somewhere in Time," "Beauty and the Beast (1946)," "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" and even (darn it) "Titanic." But this film must be high on that list because it has all the aspects a truly romanic film must absolutely have.
There is love and loss, joy and tragedy and so much smoldering passion that it threatens to bubble over and consume the audience.
We follow these star crossed lovers through decades of finding and losing and relocating each other and their hearts. We even find them near the end of life, with the final heart wrenching loss threatening to forever tear them apart. And we see love pull them through.
Here is some of the cast:
Tim Ivey . . . Rower
Gena Rowlands . . . Allie Calhoun
Starletta DuPois . . . Nurse Esther
James Garner . . . Duke
Anthony-Michael Q. Thomas . . . Nurse Keith
Ed Grady . . . Harry
Jennifer Echols . . . Nurse Selma
Geoffrey Knight . . . Barker
Kevin Connolly . . . Fin
Ryan Gosling . . . Noah Calhoun
Heather Wahlquist . . . Sara Tuffington
Rachel McAdams . . . Allie Hamilton
Andrew Schaff . . . Matthew Jamison III
I am not kidding when I say that you should buy a new box of kleenex before you watch this film, but it will be worth it. This film is magnificently life affirming and romantic and heart breaking and heart warming. Just see it, okay?
