One of the most classic pro-marriage movies ever, with the immortal line "You had me at hello." Grab your kleenex.

Arguably the best and most faithful adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

One of the my favorite movies, a modern day retelling of It's a Wonderful Life with an emphasis on the value of a good marriage.

Romantic comedies like this Sandra Bullock vehicle are generally panned by critics because they are formulaic, predictable, and ultimately built on a shaky premise. But not every movie has to be designed for the academy awards, and sometimes the real value of a movie lies in its ability to make you feel good about your values, about love, about the feelings we've all had about relationships from time to time. This movie is particularly good at showing that if you base your admiration of someone on how they appear to you, without knowing who they really are, you will probably be disappointed to learn neither their character nor your love for them is what it seemed.

The only thing most people have to say about this movie is how terrible Keanu Reeves is as an actor. This amounts to critical analysis for most people, but only amounts to pettiness and jealousy to the rest of us. This movie is cinematographically beautiful, and the entire film is imbued with an eroticism and tenderness rarely seen in modern film - and all without the actors taking off their clothes. It details how two people can essentially do everything wrong - marrying someone you don't know, having an affair with someone who doesn't love you, lying to your family (and needing their approval in the first place) and then going against your own desires because of your "obligations" to someone else - and still end up happy once the right choices are defended and properly made. It's a pro-value film, and so critics naturally hate it.

From the title and premise of this French Stewart/Bridgette Wilson film, you might think it's a movie about the evils of marriage. This, surprisingly, isn't true in this film, which highlights instead how being wedding-crazy, and how thinking that all it takes to get married is a size 00 body and great smile has nothing to do with love. It's a comedy that doesn't intend to make any profound statements about the nature of marriage, but it's value lies in exposing the very real and very destructive attitudes that some people have about marriage. If you're a girlfriend hoping for the proposal one day, it's worth watching to learn what not to do.

A lush period piece that explores the issue of social acceptabilty versus personal happiness. It is set in a society of the past that had harsher rules of etiquette and more rigid social rules, but it nevertheless rings true today as an example of how impossible it is to subvert your values in favor of your "duty", or what everyone expects you to do.

Based on Laura Esquivel's novel about the tragedy that befalls a young Mexican woman who is the victim of her family's traditional values and prevented from marrying the man she loves. It is heartwarming in parts and has the same playful, almost fantastical touches that Chocolat had and relies heavily on situations that are more symbolic than realistic - however it is entirely watchable, and makes it clear how inviolate a person's right to pursue her own happiness is.

My husband's wonderful site, full of exceptional nude beauties and insightful commentary. A must for lovers of beauty and philosophy, or anyone who wants to understand the role of beauty in our lives.
