"Love is..." Considerably appropriate on a night like this

Best Romantic Movies EVER!!!
(Possible Editing to Follow...later!)
And yes, I know my romance movie preferences tend to imply a ceratin sadness-factor.

• Love Actually
• Sleepless in Seattle
• Léon ('cos it IS actually romantic!)
• The Bodyguard
• Lost in Translation
• Casino Royale (can't believe I actually wrote that)
• On her Majesty's Secret Service (better!)
• Moulin Rouge
• The English Patient
• Before Sunset
• Casablanca

And furthermore: The most romantic things I know about!

• Katie Melua and Norah Jones...cannot be avoided! And it's what I am currently listening to! ("When you left, I became a hopeless drifter...")
• Bryan Ferry singing old café-melodies, such as "As time goes by" and Leif Ove Andsnes playing the tingling, background piano...yes, preferrably combined...take a hint, guys? Or even better - make a deal? ;)
• Jane Austen-novels...preferrably filmed with Colin Firth...Mr. Daaaaaarcy!!! Me luva!
• The bar-scene at the end of the above-mentioned "L.i.T." ("Stay here with me, we'll start a jazz band!" Classic!)

AND the obligatory ones;

• Doctor Who and the hand-holding! ("Before I go, I just wanna tell you; you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic!")
• The dancing scene in "Dear Frankie" (too sad and serious to qualify for a place in my purely romantic movie-category, though...! Yet, I LOVE that little piece of indie-film so much!)
• Chocolate and candles and live piano-music, by the fireside - also including a (fake) fur rug and a couple of good bottles of red wine...and someone who looks like the guy who's dancing with Emily Mortimer in that particular scene...! (Perchance could I get hold of the man himself???) In a tux, with that genuine Scottish burrrr....rrrr!
• James Bond. Whom I've always wanted (yearned...and longed...desperately) to marry. That being said; I would only marry him if he looked like (*cough cough*) Butler, Burkhard, Eccleston or Jackman. Preferrably combined. Well, actually; if he was James Bond, I would just marry him. Especially if he was Butler-Bond. Regardless where, why and how. Just marry him. Any time!

Did I mention I'm a hopeless Romantic? Guess I did, yeah. I love being in love. I love Love. Love is good. It hurts, occasionally, but it makes me feel and feeling (it) makes me feel alive. And there's not point in living, at all, if you can't feel...alive.

Enough said. Now sleep. And sleep to dream. Again. About a brave and handsome man. Who rides my way, on an amazing white stallion, accompanied by the sound of faint piano playing; he comes to take me far from here, and meanwhile sweep me off my feet with strawberry kisses. Hehehe. Now, that's the sweet escape of night-time!
