Breaking up over romantic films
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Boy meets girl. Boy and girl try to agree on a movie. Boy loses girl.
Have you seen that one? A trip to the video store can often send a couple into therapy. It’s the rare film that can appeal to both men and women, especially when it comes to romance.
For Valentine’s Day, AccessAtlanta conducted an unscientific poll of men to find out which romantic films would keep them glued to the couch. The resulting list was imperfect and a little painful to produce. Who knew guys held such strong feelings about, well, feelings?
Now it’s your turn. Guys, what romantic classic did we leave off the list? And couples, what romantic films can you agree on? How do you decide?
Remember, John Cusack can’t do it alone.

Once I was able to convince my husband to watch “The Notebook” he loved it and has watched it over and over when it’s on cable. We love it!

None of those are Chick Flicks, but what guy can’t resist Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

Titanic….
Think about it- guns, fights, a sinking ship, destruction, oh- and a topless Kate Winslet ;-)

My husband loved the movie “Unfaithful” I wonder if Diane Lane’s sex scene’s had anything to do with it?

Whoever suggested “Forget Paris” should turn in their man card. Anything with Billy Crystal in it is immediately not manly. And yes, that includes “When Harry Met Sally.”
