Hero in Pursuit after Fumbling the Ball

Hey y’all, I’ve been rewatching Felicity this Autumn (as I do every Autumn) and I still will never get over how perfect the first two seasons are at showcasing a hero in pursuit (Ben) after he doesn’t realize how much he cares for Felicity. The shows tone shifts in season 3 and season 4 so I’ve finished this rewatch after season 2 and I’m looking for any movies or shows that have this same trope.

I love old movies as well so feel free to give recs from the 30s or 40s or whenever if you know them and I also am totally open to non-English movies. If there are any queer recs that’s cool too as long as it’s still the this plotline. Thank you.

what amnesia movie is this?

I watched this movie a few years back and it's about a guy who has 24h memory loss and puts post-its all around his place to remind himself, pretty sure the girl he's getting to know doesn't realize for most of the movie.

Wasn't all that great in my opinion but I need it on my letterboxd lol

thx in advance!!

I made a romantic Christmas movie watch list! I’d love to know your thoughts!

Hi there!! I decided on a whim that this year to get me into the holiday spirit, I’m going to watch a heck of a lot of romantic Christmas movies. I’ve literally never seen one of those straight-to-streaming holiday movies, but they’ve always seemed so cute so this is the year where I sit down and watch a bunch.

I took suggestions from a thread I made today, plus some ideas I found here on this sub, and made a watch schedule. I’d love any and all input on my choices! Are there any of this list that you’d skip? Or add? Or move around the order? Let me know your thoughts, bc I’d love to perfect this list and order!

Not pictured: Columns for which hot chocolate a cookie flavors I’m using the accompany each movie, as well as ratings for level of romance, how festive the movie is, how cozy it is, main character likability, and my overall score—all are 1-5. I’m so excited to get watching!

Star-crossed lovers movies

Me and the person that I was with finished things because it wasn't rational to be together (distance, didn't want to hurt each other). Any movies recommendations were people are in love, but end up choosing not to be together? Thanks!

daydream nation

i just watched this for the first time and i’ve never really heard anything about it until i was scrolling through prime. it’s honestly really interesting and it took a lot of turns. it’s a romance/ drama and i went in for the romance aspect but stayed for the drama. it’s like a mix of palo alto/ millers girl but more sinister.

Movie of the Week: Practical Magic (1998)

I love Practical Magic, it has been a comfort movie since it was released. I also enjoy love stories that provide more background on the family/background of the lead(s). You have the relationship between the two sisters, their aunts, the town, and between Sally and Gary.

The romance in the movie is very important but isn't really a focus of the movie until midway through the movie. Quinn and Bullock had good chemistry, and it made their true love connection believable. I appreciate that even Sally's daughters are happy that their mom is finding someone to love.

I always question the ending though. Did the women who helped the sister's break the family curse understand they were helping them with hiding a murder/murdered spirit? Would they have cared considering who Angelo was? The movie kept the tone bright and light, even during darker aspect of the movie, so this isn't really something that is meant to be examined.

I recall trying to read the book the movie was based on when it came out. I couldn't get into as a teen as I wanted more magic and less family drama. I recall part of the story focusing on the negative aspects of magic/spell in general. There is always a cost. I recall the woman who wanted the married man regrets her decision, because the spell makes him obsessed with her and she can't get away. You see her in the movie, not happy, but her request isn't really examined. I think for the movie not digging deeper was probably a good choice, it changes the tone. I should probably try reading the book again, now that I am more seasoned.

Loved the soundtrack to the movie, played it frequently for years.

Romantic movies that make you cry like hell

I have been feeling sad today and want to cry a lot. I would love an underrated romantic movie that would help me. Also, though unrelated to the sub, if there's any song that would help with the mood.

À walk to remember

So I'm someone that loooves Romance movies and clichés. However today I watched "a walk to remember" and I couldn't bring myself to actually like it. It was too fast, the characters groths were fast too. The only thing that I like was the demonstration of love between the two leads. I didn't cry to be honest whiwh is suprising. Is there something that I missed?? As a romance lover I'm suprised to not have like this film considered as a "classic" of romance

What romantic comedy do you not like?

My hottest take i think (7.0 IMDb) is that i did not like Return to me. Too sentimental, they had no chemistry and the guy had no charm.
