delboysskinandblister - I came on to say Truly Madly Deeply too.

LOVE fried green tomatoes.

there's a French film called Romauld and Juliette. I don't think anyone other than me has ever seen it ever. But it's gorgeous.

WAY better than Cinema Paradiso.

Can't believe The Notebook has only been mentioned once. It's a beautiful, uplifting, heartbreaking, film.
