A Walk To Remember





Hey you all the die-hard romantics. This one is for you. A Walk To Remember is one of those all time favorite love stories for me. Starring Shane West and Mandy Moore, it is a sweet tale about Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) and Landon Carter (Shane West). Both of them are poles apart. Landon and his bunch of friends make fun of Jamie in school. But Jamie doesn't bother much and has a liking for Landon. The story evolves around how the two get closer and how Landon gradually changes from a brat to a caring lover. He tries to fulfill her wishes and works to make her dreams come true. The love story takes a tragic turn and Landon realizes what Jamie means to him. It is followed by a stir of emotions that the two feel for each other.

The main highlight of the film is that never goes over-the-top or larger-than-life to create an effect of an ideal love story. By keeping it simple, director Adam Shankman has brought forward a beautiful concept of true love and selflessness. 

Add this one one to your list and make sure you watch it. This one is A Movie To Remember!!

Titanic







A tale of two lovers on the ill-fated unsinkable ship named Titanic that wrecked and sank on its first voyage. Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) meet each other and their love blossoms. Rose is helpless in her high society lifestyle and discovers true love in Jack. But, they have Cal (Billy Zane), Rose's fiance posing trouble. When he finds out about this, he locks Jack in a room while the ship is hit by a massive iceberg. From here, the survival becomes tough for the two lovers as the ship sinks into freezing waters. The shipwreck is depicted brilliantly and the art direction is commendable. Director James Cameron has created a landmark in the history of English cinema with this one.

Atonement








In 1935, 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) and her family live a life of wealth and privilege in their enormous mansion. On the warmest day of the year, the country estate takes on an unsettling hothouse atmosphere, stoking Briony's vivid imagination. Robbie Turner (James McAvoy), the educated son of the family's housekeeper, carries a torch for Briony's headstrong older sister Cecilia (Kiera Knightley). Cecilia, he hopes, has comparable feelings; all it will take is one spark for this relationship to combust. When it does, Briony - who has a crush on Robbie - is compelled to interfere, going so far as accusing Robbie of a crime he did not commit. Cecilia and Robbie declare their love for each other, but he is arrested - and with Briony bearing false witness, the course of three lives is changed forever. Briony continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love.
