resent is most important. I agree with him 100%, but as everyone knows well, to know is different from to do. However I really want to enjoy my real life and share happiness with others. When I watched this movie, I was so happy and able to enjoy the present while I was watching it.Some people don't like romantic movies, they said the situations are ridiculous and acting is so exaggerated, but this movie is my cup of tea. I like a warm-hearted and make believe story about the power of love because in the real world there are a lot of sad things and scary news. I don't want to listen to these things any more. Even though movies are not real, I hope to feel the beauty of the nature and persons.This movie is about love story. Ex-football star Mike Gambril (Warren Beatty) meets Terry McKay (Annette Bening) on a flight, and then they are forced to land because of a weather condition. Both are engaged to others, but they fall in love each other. They promise that they will meet again in New York few months later. I don't want to spoil this movie, so you should watch this if you want to know the ending.This movie's setting is a beautiful island and New York. When they went to Mike's Aunt's house, the setting is very beautiful and refined. Even though it's just picture, I could feel that I am there. I can feel the wind and heavy rain in this movie. I can see the camera director's effort to take a photograph of the beauty of the nature.Especially I like the music and scenery most. This film's music is so beautiful and wonderful, for example "Love Affair Piano Solo" by Ennio Morricone, "I Will" by Beatles, "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" by Ray Charles. Even if you missed a chance to see this movie I strongly recommend to listen to this film's music . Most of all in the last scene while Mike is saying "If anything had to happen to one of us, why did it have to be you?", 'Love Affair Piano Solo' makes this scene the most beautiful and graceful. During watching this movie, actually I'm interested in the movie music and their dialogues. The lines from this movies are very simple, and poetic. The most famous line is "I like watching you move".In addition Terry's styling is the best!! I can't take away my eyes from her styling from the beginning to the end of this movie. Her white long dress and her beautiful scarf make this movie one of the great art pictures.One of the impressive things is that Warren Beatty and Annette Bening fell in love during a making this movie. Their feeling in this movie is not acting, but it's close to reality. I think this is the big reason why this movie could be so romantic.If you enjoy watching a romantic story, please watch this movie with a glass of wine on Friday night! It is the best choice for you.

If anyone thinks that we've seen the last remake of Love Affair, think again. The Indian cinema has done a version of it a few years after this film came out. This story has a timeless appeal that Warren Beatty certainly recognized.Anyone who has seen the original Love Affair and the remake An Affair To Remember will know the plot of this film exactly. Warren Beatty and Annette Bening fill the shoes of previous lovers Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne and Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. With very few deviations except those to update the story this film has the same plot.One of those deviations has our star crossed lovers Warren Beatty and Annette Bening meeting on a transoceanic flight to Sydney, Australia which is certainly a lot of time to get acquainted. They get even better acquainted when they are forced to land on a Pacific island where Beatty's grandmother Katharine Hepburn has a nice tropical place. The kind of setting where romance has to bloom.This was Katharine Hepburn's last big screen appearance, she did one more television film and then her Parkinson's Disease and other ailments that beset people of the age she lived to forced her retirement. I'll bet she never thought she would in 1939 wind up in a remake of a film doing a part Maria Ouspenskaya created. She does it grand style though and only Kate can make an old Anglo-Saxon expletive sound elegant.That Warren Beatty got nominated for a Razzie award for remaking Love Affair is a disgrace. This is old fashioned romantic entertainment, the kind that old Hollywood used to do. I think Beatty and everyone connected with this Love Affair should be proud.I notice that Leo McCarey who wrote and directed Love Affair and An Affair To Remember is prominently listed on the screen credits. He'd be proud of this remake himself, I'm sure.

I've often heard how so many people, mostly women love the movie "An Affair To Remember," and yet, I never cared much for it. I like the actors, Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, but the storyline and the idea of "an affair" didn't really appeal to me. I also didn't realize that it was a remake of "Love Affair" from 1939 starring Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer. I happened to see piece of it on a cruise ship and my husband and I recognized some of the dialog. And we both remember the reference to the movie in "Sleepless In Seattle." It was interesting to see this and I decided to borrow it from the library to watch and after watching it, I still didn't find "An Affair To Remember" very appealing. At the same time, I noticed the movie "Love Affair" with Warren Beatty and Annette Benning. I'm not really fans of either, but, for some reason, this movie caught my attention. It's possible it has appeal because here is an actor who was once known as a lifetime bachelor who has now married to an actress and raised four children and the chemistry with the woman he chose to spend his life with shows through. The music throughout the movie is beautiful and the main storyline follows its predecessor, but the dialog is fresh. I was glad to see that the "sensationalism" promoted by paparazzi is quelled by the quick wit of Mike Gambril paying a crew member to present a telegram to the photographer to send him on a wild chase preventing the "scandal" as in "An Affair To Remember." This movie gave me reason to like the story. I find that, even if I am not a fan of particular actors, I can enjoy a movie if they put their heart and souls into the project and not worry about impressing the viewers.

I have watched Love Story numerous times, and every time it touches my heart. This is my favorite movie of all time! Annette Benning and Warren Beatty are outstanding. Katherine Hepburn adds a touch of whimsy to the story. It is just a delightful movie and warms my heart. I always wonder if this movie was made during the beginning of their (Annette and Warren's)love story. I was amazed to see that this movie was listed as not successful on the movie charts. I couldn't believe that since it is such a warm, delightful, moving story. It has been on television both yesterday and today and I found myself watching it both days. I couldn't stay away from this wonderful movie and the charming work of both these really fine actors.
