Hmm.... Well, MiLady, I'll be more than happy to stand and help
defend your honor!  Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies..
favorite comedy movies... ;)  Although a love story it is, I think
stories like Ladyhawke and Beauty are much more ... "love" ... stories
than PB.
    And of course, nobody even _mentions_ "          " any more.
Ooops!  I just did!

  Quickly the Archer flips back his cloak and pulls a strange looking
arrow from his quiver!  Drawing his bow, and launching his arrow straight
up, he manages to cross several lines of text and snag "Love Story" and
drag it down and out of the preceding paragraph.  He then stuffs
it back into his pack, never to be seen again.

  "As I was saying..."

>I also loved Beauty and the Beast (it got to Europe only before this
>Christmas - we've seen in twice now... ).

Ahh! Well then... have you read a book called "Beauty"? Hmm?? My
favorite love story in book form... and, as near as I can tell,
one of the models for the composite story of the movie...  It's
just one of the absolute best retellings of the Beauty story I
have ever read.... <snif>

I haven't seen anyone mention it.  Excellent suggestion.  And with
an ending more befitting a romantic movie than the original, 's
far 's I'm concerned.

I think it is "Somewhere in Time" featuring both Christopher Reeves &
Jane Seymour.  I haven't see it though.

Check out also "Casablanca", that old B&W movie.  I have just seen it and
now I know why it is such a classic.

With the cheap airfares I think I'd rather fly!  It's not economical to
drive.  The current Sydney-Brisbane price is AUD$200 return.  With the
price of petrol is is *not* worth it!!

Hello Heather.

One of my most favorite romantic movies is called "Made in Heaven."  Its
the story of a young man who dies and goes to heaven.  He is there for
a period of time.  He falls in love with an angel (a soul who has never
been to earth before).  All angels eventually have to go to earth.  Well,
this lady's turn comes up and the young man is really upset.  He makes
a deal with the guy in charge:  he gets to go to earth and has until his
21st birthday to find her.  The guy in charge (assistant to God/Goddess)
doesn't play fair and takes away his and her memory of one another.  The
story is how they are both searching for something, but not sure what.
Its a beautiful story and definitely brought tears to my romantic eyes.
Check it out.

There's another one similiar to it staring Christopher Reeves *swoon*
and Jane Alexander.  I can't remember the name for sure....something
to do with the word "Time."  Maybe someone else remembers it.

I can't imagine why you'd like the movie, Tyger! ;-)
*sigh*  I *have* the soundtrack to Cat People 
(by Giorgio Moroder - great! and David Bowie sings "Putting out Fire" :)
Interesting - I didn't know there was two :-O
I'll have to get the videos sometime...

No, not forgotten Ross.  Note I was saying that Darren and Clare are
close by each other.  You and I are 2000km apart.  Aren't Darren and
Clare both in Auckland?  The same city!  What a concept! :-)

Who's being picky about little distances like that?  I'd be surprised if
the return airfare from LA to Chicago was another AUD$800.  Besides, I
might like to visit some other people along the way... <waves to the
people of arc>

Dunno.  I'll have to print one.  I have a t-shirt with a certain
shipping flag on it with the translation "I require assistance"... does
that count?

(better than the one my brother has which say "I require a tug" ;)
