THE HOBBIT (part 1) is screening at the end of the year, so I have re-read the book in preparation. With THE HELP, I loved the movie so much I just had to read the book.<br /><br />2. I know GONE WITH THE WIND is more sweeping epic than romance movie, but for me it's the romance between Rhett and Scarlett that draws me back time and again.Mary Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201076939557413255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-33328685215836969152012-08-05T02:52:19.814-05:002012-08-05T02:52:19.814-05:00I.

I usually stay away from movie adaptations where I know the book, though occasionally I watched such movies, like "Marley & Me" or "The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic" and they were actually quite ok.<br /><br />2. My all-time fav romance movie is "Pillow Talk" with Doris Day and Rock Hudson. I've watched it so often I already know the dialogues by heart! A close second is, believe it or not, "While you were sleeping"! :-)Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307461298661584480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-68497361657361503352012-08-04T21:31:48.609-05:002012-08-04T21:31:48.609-05:001.

If it is a book that is not in a favorite genre of mine, I will see the movie without reading the book (for instance, The Notebook and Her Sister's Keeper). The only movie I have seen and wished I read the book first was The Prestige, but I didn't know it was a book until a few years after I saw the movie.<br />2. My favorite romance movie would definitely be Down with Love; I much prefer romantic comedies over true romances.Rickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05108470370944541128noreply@blogger.com
