SD - Brokeback Mountain was not run of the mill. It's set in a time when a relationship the likes of which was the subject matter was not part of the lexicon. THAT is what made this movie so true. You could not possibly gussy it up to satisfy today's standards of what a "gay" movie should personify. Where were they supposed to go? San Francisco? Think about it. They were cowboys. Not in the sense of "You can be my Cowboy, and I can be your Cowgirl". We are talking about a real dilemma in an environment that was hostile to the situation. Remember, the wife was instrumental in the death of her husband.— January 17, 2010 1:51 p.m.

Chills. I loved Moonstruck. And Cage before he went a little nuts. Okay, I saw DDD when I was 17 with my boyfriend. He was four years older than me and had his own place (let's not discuss my mother's response to this). When VCRs were in their heyday, we rented every porno we could get our hands on. And it did more for our romance than any film we ever saw before...I considered it "training camp"!— January 17, 2010 1:32 p.m.

Love the Big Love. Favorite show, hands down, and have always loved Chloe, The Brown Bunny included. I remember a certain someone blogging about how disgusted he was by her after that movie, and I could only think, "take that, sucka!". Fierce performance by a woman who could not give two s***s what others deem correct choices for her roles. WHMS - I remember thinking the same thing when I first saw it. She was so cute and he was this pubie-dooed jerk. Why would she settle for Harry, when she had already had the hot guy in the airport scene? I bawled like a baby during "Brokeback Mountain". That movie affected me more than any movie I had seen before or since. After it was over, I left the Landmark SOBBING. I ran into a client of mine waiting in line who happens to be gay, and he said "what are you doing here!?". I told him I was waiting for my husband who went to the restroom, and he seem genuinely shocked that I was at that particular movie with my husband. I explained I could not talk to him right then because I could barely speak, and almost gave away the ending by choking out something like "WHY did he have to die?!". Anyway, it was odd the reaction some had to Brokeback Mountain. I heard things as bad as "why would someone want to see that?" to "Brokebutt Mountain? You won't catch me dead there". I tried so hard to explain that is was a LOVE story, and one that was so cinematography beautiful it immediately brings tears to your eyes, and so many JUST DID NOT GET IT! It still distresses me that people cannot get past their hangups and just enjoy a beautiful film.— January 17, 2010 1:15 p.m.

I was going to defend When Harry Met Sally, but I got Fish's point. These movies tend to portray women as somewhat addled about love and romance, and portray the men as being the ones who are calling the shots, when in fact most women are very much in control of their romantic encounters. I mean really, in real life, who does most of the chasing? Certainly not us. I watched "He's Just Not That Into You" last night. HORRIBLE!!! Sucked the last rancid scrape of mayonnaise out of the giant Costco Helman's jar.— January 17, 2010 12:24 p.m.

The Horse Whisperer?!? What was wrong with that movie? Titanic was my first date with my husband. I know. Corny, corny, corny. So I still find myself watching it. Hated that song. Ugh. Pretty Woman still makes me gag. My favorite couple of all time? Early and Adele!!!— January 17, 2010 10:51 a.m.
