I'm not a gushy, mushy flick watching type of girl. I prefer the more gratuitious violence in a flick the better sans the contrite-Oscar worthy dialouge and romantic slant.
So my list of romantic cinema favs list is non-existent until last year when I saw Disney's "Princess and the Frog". This is a story that everyone pretty much knows about but what Disney did differently is put a 21st Century spin on it using New Orleans as a backdrop (which I loved!). The "Princess" is Tia a hard-at-work fully functional work-a-holic who's dreams of being a entrepreneur has left her life empty with just herself and her dream. She crossed paths with this ego-driven "Frog" Prince and the rest is history!
The lessons that you walk away with from this movie were that you don't take life's blessings for granted, digging a little deeper within yourself to discover something beautiful and don't judge others by face value. The "romantic" lesson was to realize that love happens when you least expect it and with you you least expect it to me. The love that you have can be with someone you just met or with someone you've known for years.
