A famous (or not so famous) movie where the Guy gets the Lady in the end...also, feel free to add Girl gets Boy titles...Or Guy gets Guy, whatever!
The Graduate (67)
Memorable final scenes because they both seem thrilled until they didn't...then they looked like 'WTH did we just do?!'
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Pretty sure Indy finally lands Marion for keeps
Romancing the Stone
Jack gets with Joan...he shows up on a yacht in front of her building he was so into her!
One I’ve mentioned this week. “Sayonara”
Another worth watching: “Love Is a Many Splendid Thing”
And of course “A Summer Place”
I own all as I’m such an old romantic! I lose myself when watching these movies thinking of days gone by.😔😢
“Tis better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.”
“For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, “It might have been.”
Very nice, especially your last line
Your second to last line comes up in a Poison song, I wont Forget You off the Look What the Cat Dragged In album...
Some good music right there!
The last line reminds me of these movies, which would be the antithesis of the topic:
Splendor in the Grass (1961)
Love Story (1970) I can still remember how sensationalized this was.
Sweet November (2001)
I agree with your assessment of “Splendor in the Grass”. I also own this movie. Why? I don’t know because my heart broke further when I saw it at the Drive-In. It’s a good thing I didn’t see it in the theater because I sobbed uncontrollably. He had just left me. I chose Tennyson’s quote to be under my high school yearbook photo even though I’ve never agreed with it. Pain is the price we pay for love.
shareThe endings in all three are bittersweet.
shareI didn’t care for Love Story maybe because I hated the ‘60’s and ‘70’s.
I don’t recall seeing the 2001 remake of Sweet November. I will check it out.
Another movie which was the antithesis of the topic was the 1961 remake of Back Street with Susan Hayward (academy award winner for “I Want To Live”) and John Gavin.
I went to the theater with my dear departed Mom to see it. She and I weren’t the only ones crying in the theater. Even though it was a tearful movie I’m grateful for the memory because I was with my Mom. I’ll be seeing her again before too long.
Oh, Shoggie, how did we veer off the rails again from your happy OP to sadness?😔
Yeah...as I just replied to db...I’ve never agreed with it, so why do I keep remembering it?😢 But, thanks! I’m going to check out the lyrics of the Poison? song. Sounds crazy!
Read the lyrics....sad. The quote was twisted...maybe to fit better for the tune,
