1987 wasn’t a great year for movies, what with these 5 nominees in the running for Best Picture – THE LAST EMPEROR”, “Broadcast News”, “Fatal Attraction”, “Hope and Glory”, “Moonstruck”. Not a bad bunch of films but none of which really stood the test of time, although I would still call Broadcast News a minor classic and far and away the best picture out of the bunch. However what the Academy failed to do then, and are still guilty of doing now, was not nominate a fantasy movie that ultimately became a classic (“Edward Scissorrhands”? “The Holy Grail”? “King Kong” “Pan’s Labyrinth”? . Rob Reiner’s The Princess Bride starts off what will be a weekly column for me as I will go through a film a week from 1987-2011 that never got nominated for Best Picture but should have had a shot at the big prize. There are plenty of contenders for every year and I encourage you to give your own choice in the comments section below. Continue reading →

Good morning everyone.  It’s finally Wednesday again.  For those of you who probably don’t know, I’m actually on day seven of a nine day straight stretch.  So it goes without saying that I’m more than ready for the weekend.  I don’t know about you all.  I’m sure there are some of you out there who have gone through just as many days straight as me, if not more so.  Those who do know how tough it is.  Thankfully I’m off this coming weekend.  And I will be sitting down to watch some more movies and check in on some more new music.  Speaking of movies, we’ve got another pick in the Sweethearts Cinema Countdown.  My wife actually got me to give today’s pick a chance originally.  Since the first time I watched it, it’s become a favorite of mine personally.  And I feel that it’s one of the best romantic movies made in the history of Hollywood (and there are actually a lot of good ones).  From 1987, starring Cary Elwes and Robin Wright, number five on the list is The Princess Bride.

What better night than Valentine’s to curl up and watch a romantic film. Here are 14 movies deemed very romantic. See if they will be the right fit for your movie night.

1. Dirty Dancing: This 1980s flick stands the test of time 25 years later. Baby, a good girl from an affluent family, falls in love with Johnny, a drifter dance instructor, while she’s on a family vacation at a Catskills summer resort. This movie showcases that sometimes love transcends prestige, personal status and well-meaning fathers.

2. Titanic: In another classic movie where love trumps social class, Rose and Jack fall in love aboard the doomed ship. Their passionate connection survives a tragedy and the ultimate separation.

3. Princess Bride: A Rob Reiner movie, this fairytale tells the story of Buttercup and Wesley, a poor farm boy who wins the love of his employer. When Wesley is presumed dead and Buttercup becomes engaged to an area prince she doesn’t love, viewers are taken on an adventure that shows that even death cannot stop true love. Continue reading →

Several locations of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, which is known for putting together quote-along movie feasts, are releasing two signature wines for Valentine’s Day inspired by director Rob Reiner’s 1987 cult classic The Princess Bride. “The Bottle of Wits” (after the “battle of wits” scene in the film — clever!) is the name of the line, and its two wines are “Inconceivable Cab,” a California Cabernet, and “As You Wish White,” a California blend. The release is in honor of the film’s 25th anniversary. Continue reading →
