Movies and Romantic Videos

Movies and Romantic Videos

There was a time when music videos acted as trailers for the films that they were from. Some of the most romantic songs of all time are from movies. It amazes me how a song can take me back to a place and time in my life and that song is usually from a movie that I saw. These are some of the best that I could locate. Almost all of them are from the 1980s and beyond because that is when the music video really began.

First up is a video from a version of robin Hood that got it right. When romance is the center of the story it has always worked well. Robin Hood like so many other great stories is really just a tale of a love between one man and one woman.

The next is a song that you hardly ever hear, but the song along with the video and the movie are all unforgettable. The movie was the Princess Bride.

The next song and video is from Dirty Dancing, proving that not all romantic songs have to be ballads.

Same leading man and a completely different kind of romantic film. The movie was Ghost and the song is a classic.

No collection of music videos from romantic films could be complete without the biggest and best of them all. The movie is of course Titanic and the video is My Heart Will Go On.

I would now like to post two bonus videos because they are two of my personal favorites.
The director of both films, Rocky and the Karate Kid 2 would most likely argue that both films are romances at their heart. Stallone has said that with out the romance his Rocky does not work as a film and would not have won best picture. I am do not have to tell anyone who is a fan of the second Karate Kid film that it is a romance disguised as an action film. This song proves that point.

The last video is from a romance that is in danger of being forgotten. Please take a day, perhaps Valentines day, to check out Four Weddings and a Funeral.

More Romantic Short Films For Valentines Day

More Romantic Short Films For Valentines Day

The last post on this subject proved to be so popular that I will be showing you a few more short films for Valentines day. Here at the Holiday Network we try our best to give the audience what they want as long as they do not request anything Twilight related. The first of the short films that I would like to offer today is for all of those kids who grew up watching the Power Rangers.

Yes, a romantic film with a Power Rangers theme. Love comes in all shapes sizes and costumes. I had a crush on a VR Trooper.

I have always thought that there is a fine line between stalking and romance. That person you are with now was at one time a distant and unattainable object of your affections. You probably thought that he or she was way out of your league and would be crazy to settle for someone like you. You were a stable boy who could only manage to say as you wish to the beautiful princess who was yelling at you or a lovely maid to your wicked stepsisters longing to go to the ball and meet prince charming. Maybe even you were a girl who was busy looking for her sister who had ran away from home after revealing her mutant powers and freezing your home town. While looking for her you fell in love with a block headed guy who talks to reindeer. Is that how it was? No, you were introduced by a friend?

Sequel time. This is the sequel to the movie that you have just watched.

Valentines Day Short Films

Valentines Day Short Films

Valentines day is just a few weeks away and today I would like to show you guys a few short films. With so many feature films available during this holiday season we at the Holiday Network would like to show a few great short films. I really like these films and wish that I had space in this post to offer you a few dozen more. I hope that you will enjoy each of these Valentine’s day short films.

This next short is dedicated to all of those romantic evenings that just did not work out as planned.

The next film that I am going to show you could be a masterpiece. The title is Too Shy and I hope that you watch it to the very end. Trust me, it will be worth it.

Here at the holiday network we search the world for the best movies and from Thailand we have a great little romance.

Now we will take a quick animation break.

Okay that will be it for today. Please take a moment to share this post with a friend and to think about prepping for Valentine’s Day. It is not too early to think candy, flowers, jewelry or a quick getaway vacation.

Valentines Day Movies and Star Crossed Lovers

Here at the Holiday Network we have the choice where to cover ever single holiday or only the major ones. I am planning a post for Groundhog’s day, but Valentines day has so many more fans and so many more movies.

Today I would like to talk about some of the movies that I love and the couples that make them work. Also these movies will be both girl and guy friendly. After all what good is a Valentines day movie if the guy in your life will not want to watch it. We know what movies we are talking about. There will be no pure chick flicks of this list.

The first Valentines day movie, we will consider all loves stories to fit this description, is an all time classic. Like Romeo and Juliet, which I will get to later, this film features what are called star crossed lovers. Their love is the one thing that they cannot live without and it is also the thing that will destroy them in the end.

The movie is Wuthering Heights. The version is the only one that really counts. The year was 1939 and it stars Merle Oberon and Lawrence Olivier.

Next we should look at the greatest of all star crossed love stories. Romeo and Juliet. I am going to go with the one that almost won the Oscar. I am going to go with the one that is most guy friends, this is due to the fact that Juliet is played by the amazing Olivia Hussey.

The next film is Titanic. Similar to Romeo and Juliet as far as the plot goes, but there are a few thousand films that I could say that about. Watching the film it feels like these lovers have lived and loved a lifetime together in the space of two days.

Next is a movie that I have mixed emotions about. Every woman in my life loves this film and I have to admit that I have watched it a few times. The movie is Dirty Dancing and these star crossed lovers actually survive the story.

The last movie that could fall into a lot of categories. Love crazy would probably fit it best, but I can always mention it in future post. This on screen couple is awesome together and since they seem to enjoy working together we can look forward to many more films featuring them. The movie is Silver linings Playbook.
