Yes I know the fact that that is in capitals comes across as shouting but...I don't care. I love this film so much that shouting is appropriate. In my opinion.
Its 'You've Got Mail'.
My second favourite is 'Love Actually' but that's not on so I'm not going to talk about that one.
I'm sure there are quite a few who would disagree with me or who can't for one moment fathom why I like it so much...but well to be blunt its my blog so their opinion doesn't count. Right now.
What's to like? Well let me list the reasons for you;
- Its a love story - who can, hand on heart, say that they don't like a happy ending?
- Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) has one of my dream jobs - owning her own book shop with a reading hour in which she reads stories to children
- They correspond - practically a dead art in today's society - with each other
- She gets excited about pencils - I love stationery, in fact I love September because it has the scent of new books, pencils, rubbers, pens, folders etc
- Kathleen's character is passionate about literature - I'm passionate about literature too!
- Kathleen (yes I know I'm talking about her like she's real but ... well get over it) is obsessed with Pride and Prejudice, I'm more of a Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre girl but I salute the sentiment and can appreciate her selection
- Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) pursues her - ah what woman doesn't like to be pursued?!
- Its got tension - they fight and try to resist to each other!
- He brings her flowers and visits her when she is sick - read any of my other posts have you on lack of sympathy from a certain significant other???
- Meg's character is a breath of fresh air innocence - she's not afraid to talk openly about missing her dead mother, or admitting to her own lack of witticism (horrible retorts)
- Hanks' character is obsessed with The Godfather
- I've always wanted to go to one of those street fairs/market that Hank takes his aunt and bother too.
- I love her apartment. Sure it would be too small for all my books but I'd have the bookstore to keep all those in wouldn't I?
- It never fails to make me smile
No. 14 far out weighs and totally eclipses all others.
