Valentine's Flick Picks - Faye's Choice

What is it about love that makes people 'gaga'? Well, let me answer that by listing my Top 3 Favorite Romantic-Comedy Movies:

Bill Pullman and Sandra Bullock as Jack and Lucy
1.  WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING

Lucy works as token collector on a mass transit, comes home to a cat, and leads a very lonely life. That is until she saves a handsome commuter and meets his family. I've watched this movie maybe a hundred times and I never get tired of it. This is one of Sandra Bullock's movies that made her into America's sweetheart.




I love how geeky Jeff Bridges is here!
2. THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES

Now, don't raise your eyebrows just yet. I know this movie received a lot of criticism for being an ego production of Barbra Streisand. She starred, produced, and directed this film. She even co-wrote and sang the theme song 'I Finally Found Someone'. But all that aside, I found the story touching and funny. It deals with a person's insecurities and finding one's self-worth.


Business Nemesis
3.  YOU'VE GOT MAIL

Starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, this film is about book shop owners in New York City. I love the 'feel' of this movie. The soundtrack is great; so is the cinematography. It gives you the feeling of being cozy and familiar. Which is ironic as the story depicts online communication (through e-mails) and falling in love without personally meeting.






What are you waitin' for? Go watch 'em flicks, now! ;)

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING is still my all time favorite!!! A close second is Serendipity (John Cusack, Kate Beckinsale).
