last night

i realized that trying to choose a romantic film to watch that is personally resonant without being completely cliche is actually quite difficult. i ended up with sliding doors for reasons i might develop more later on. but it got me thinking about other movies that might make a list of this kind. films people wouldn't be expecting. nothing like sabrina or anything starring meg ryan.

the red violin
true romance
mostly martha
payback
like water for chocolate
unbreakable

there are more, perhaps to be added when they come to mind.

what would yours be?
