Romantic Movies for a Modern Age

By Sandy Ingram


Ah, the romantic comedy, it's an enduring genre that truly has stood the test of time. Many of us have grown up with classics like Breakfast at Tiffany's or colourful musicals such as Easter Parade or My Fair Lady. These movies capture the beauty of romance. They have idealised ideas about finding 'the one'; Boy meets girl on a chance encounter, boy and girl must overcome obstacles to be together, girl is eventually swept off her feet - cue long, lingering Hollywood kiss. Romantic comedies today adopt a similar plot structure. However, the 'boy meets girl' part is shown to be decidedly more difficult. Modern romantic comedies take a more cynical view of the trials and tribulations of finding someone to love. Below are some of the best modern romance movies.

Monthly Fees Are No Good If the download site requires monthly subscription fees, it is time to look elsewhere for better options. There are now many movie download sites that offer great selections of movies for a low one-time fee only. Plus, you get lifetime access to unlimited movie downloads. It's definitely more worthwhile becoming a member at these sites.

Must Love Dogs (2005) This very modern romantic comedy delves into love in the age of the internet, with a forty-something women seeking the man of her dreams. Like Bridget Jones, Sarah (Diane Lane) is looking for love and finding it increasingly difficult. She thought she had found her man for life, until he left. Spurred on by her interfering family, she decides to try online dating. After some bizarre and unsuccessful dates - including accidentally answering her own father's personal add - she comes to realise that the first man she met online, Jake (John Cusack), is actually the man for her. Like Bridget, Sarah struggles through the trials and tribulations of finding 'the one' but she too gets her man in the end; proving that in this day and age you need to kiss (or flirt online) with a lot of frogs before you find your prince.

Unlimited Movie Downloads Collection We are creatures who love to be spoilt for choice. Naturally, it is better to find a site that offers a wide range of movies from thriller, to adventure and science-fiction, etc. There are a few popular sites that offer just the right mix of all kinds of movies. Several of them even contain unreleased home videos made by amateurs. It may sound funny but there are some hobbyists who hunt for such home videos to beef up their private stash.

He's Just Not That In to You (2009) We all remember that scene in Sex and The City where Miranda over hears two ladies talking about a man who isn't calling and informs them that 'He's just not that into you' - well this is similar to that, but with 120 minutes worth. In He's Just Not That In to You, a movie actually inspired by a self-help book, Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) is looking for love and sets out on a series of fruitless dates. She repeatedly misinterprets the signs that these men are not interested in her, thinking that they are. This is until she gets some much-needed advice from Alex (Justin Long). As he helps her to be 'in the know' about what men really mean when they text but never call or continually give her false hope, they eventually fall for one another. Gigi inspires the other characters in the movie to tackle problems in their own relationships. He's Just Not That In To You shows that love is now a complicated game and the importance of reading between the lines and what it means to understand the opposite sex - and how all of this can lead to difficulties in finding love.

Bridesmaids (2011) Bridesmaids is the most recent on this list and arguably the most successful and unique, but perhaps that's because it's not primarily about love but friendship. Annie (Kristen Wiig) is yet another character who is unsuccessful in love. Her boyfriend left her when she lost her business and since then she's been having casual sex with a disinterested man. Although this film is primarily about friendship amongst women, as Annie struggles with the mammoth task of organising her best friend's wedding against the interference of another friend, Annie's loneliness and struggle to find love is paramount. She eventually meets Nathan (Chris O'Dowd) and despite turning him down, realises her mistakes and gets her man. Bridesmaids also demonstrates - as does Sex and The City - that while seeking love in the fast paced world of today you need good gals by your side - from the trials and tribulations of the early stages down to orchestrating the madness of your big day!

24/7 After-sales Service We all want to deal with responsive technical support after we make our purchase. Every consumer deserves good after-sales service. Unfortunately, some download sites are quick to clinch deals, but slow to trouble-shoot your problems. That's it. I believe you are now armed to your teeth with the necessary information to go hunting for a good unlimited movie downloads site that suits your preference. Alternatively, if you are lazy like most of us, you can head to my blog to read a review of the existing movie download sites and see which are the most popular sites for unlimited movie downloads.
