A Romantic Countdown- Day 1, Day 2, Day 3

Since February is the month of LOVE and being romantic, I have decided that the week before Valentines Day, I will post some of my favorite romantic movies. For me, all of these movies are sweet, romantic, and absolutely wonderful, and I am sure there are others out there that I have yet to discover. These are not in any particular order; I love them all equally!
#1- The Young Victoria

A beautiful movie about the love between Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert.
Here is a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW3B-MK19_w&feature=related

#2 Anne of Avonlea

As a little girl I was absolutely in love with Gilbert Blythe. Weren't we all a little disappointed when Anne Shirley denied him the first time? However, this scene on the bridge is just so lovely and is one of my favorites!

#3 Emma

Masterpiece Classic 2009 version


Emma- 1996 version with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeremy Northam

A clip for you to enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDc-EeBUoL4

Great choices!!! I concur most heartily with all your selections (I was trying to sound like one of the characters from any of those movies - how'd I do?). Of course, I have fond memories of Anne of Avonlea. ;o)
And, I have to agree that both versions of Emma are so good. I really liked the Gwyneth Paltrow version, but when I saw the Masterpiece version I was blown away. One of my all-time favorites!!

AMEN! I was surprised how muc I loved the Victoria movie. It was a random pick one night and was so pleasantly surprised.
