My mom and I love old period movies. Here's an incomplete list of Regency, Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and some post Edwardian movies. We love to feast our eyes on the dresses, hats, umbrellas, carriages, old brick mansions/houses, green fields, and the dresses ! We are kind of obsessed with the dresses :-) the patterns, the colors, the details, wow ! just wow.

I love Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice ! I don't know any romantic that doesn't love Mr. Darcy. That man has a cold tough prideful exterior but underneath all that is a warm generous kind heart. Swooooon...Mr. Darcy. I like Colin Firth playing that role the most. I happened to marry a Collin too, but with 2 L :-) He's mine Mr. Darcy !!! I used to memorize many of Darcy's lines in Pride and Prejudice but now with 2 babes, I can barely remember 1. My memory storage is now reserved for stuff like, no homo milk before 1 year old, introduce nuts slowly, eat the color of the rainbow ! important kids stuff like that :-)

Whenever time permits, I love to sit down to a good romantic movie. I have a few favorites that I watch over and over again, like Amelie, Dear Frankie, The Lake House, Under the Tuscan Sun, to name a few. I pretty much like all sappy, predictable, feel good, generic romantic movies !!! Anything with a happy ending :-) Every once in a while, I would come across a gem of a movie with excellent story line that doesn't have fillers, like pointless make-out scenes or repeated flash backs. Sometime just a hug or a kiss is so satisfying. Those are the rare gems. Any who, here's a list of movies I've seen. I've seen way way more than these but can't list all :-)
