The Rocky Story - not merely the original film,but the entire series . Particularly poignant when you watch the 2006 film Rocky Balboa is the realization that, when all was said and done,the entire saga of Rocky was not about his victory in the ring, but rather his triumph in finding and winning the great love of his life.



- The Fly (1986): Cronenebrg's redux of the sci/fi horror classic may have been remarkable for it's ghastly, oscar-winning makeup effects and powerful performances by Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, but at it's core is a strong love story about the kindled passion and eventual destruction of two unlikely lovers (and the potential family resulting from their union), the result of an experiment gone horribly awry. That's why The Fly is not only one of the best remakes ever made, it's also one of the best genre films of all time..because it's really a tragedy about love torn asunder disguised as a horror film.


-The Crow: Based on an actual tragedy, this dark classic is a powerful love story through and through. Initially a graphic novel written by James O'Barr as a way to cope with his grief over the death of his fiancee in an automobile related incident, the film essays the grim poetry of the source material brilliantly, with Eric Draven driven to seek justice from beyond the grave not so much out of spite for what was done to him,but as vengeance for what they did to his beloved Shelley and the shattered dreams left by their murders. The sequence where Shelly appears after his work is finished and emrbaces him, welcoming Eric back to eternity with her, is among the most emotionally powerful,well earned moments I've ever seen grace the silver screen.


-Christine: Even more so than the Stephen King novel which inspired it, John Capenter's classy film adaptation is at heart a love story about a boy and the one great love of his life- a pissed off, candy apple red 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine who, it turns out, does NOT appreciate the competition necking with her man in the front seat at the drive in. Strange as it sounds, Arnie and Christine's love affair has a surprisingly poignant quality..as is evidenced by the unexpectedly touching moment when Christine-whose radio only plays vintage fifties music - serenades her injured suitor with "I'll always love you".

Her beauty was not made of shapes or forms
But shined from within like a star

There are those who do not believe that a single soul
born in heaven
can split into twin spirits
and shoot like falling stars
to earth

Where over oceans and continents their magnetic forces
will finally reunite them
back into one

But how else to explain
Love at first sight?

Shakespeare in Love

Philip Henslowe: Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
Hugh Fennyman: So what do we do?
Philip Henslowe: Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well.
Hugh Fennyman: How?
Philip Henslowe: I don't know. It's a mystery.
