That scene at the hospital with her kids.... faucet time. My wife can also watch Pretty Woman a million times (that Richard Gere.......).<br/><br/>All the best! Thanks Jesse, Lyman and Mary!

Jesse, Gladiator is a great movie, because of Crowe.

Lyman, I really got into the forst Matrix but haven’t seen the other two – I take it they’d be worthwhile to rent?

Mary, oh gosh I forgot about Terms of Endearment. That scene at the hospital with her kids…. faucet time. My wife can also watch Pretty Woman a million times (that Richard Gere…….).

All the best!

The Terminator - one of the most romantic movies ever "I came across time for you, Sarah Conner!" Also people just do not give up, even when it seems totally hopeless. (And, just a rousing good sci-fi flick.) <br/><br/>2. Terms of Endearment. I think the Deborah Winger character is very irritating and really don't care she's dying (sorry) - what makes me tear up is when Jack Nicholson shows up at the motel to support her Mother - totally out of his self-absorbed, oblivious element - but giving it a go. <br/><br/>3. Ditto Notting Hill (and I also love Pretty Woman. Yes, I know it's totally ridiculous, but...it almost makes you believe that a lonely good looking billionaire can find redemption through love...especially - ahem - if you're Richard Gere. ;-) Terry,

I love the story of the man who lost everything pushing on against all odds. I'm not much of a Crowe fan after the hotel phone incident he had, but I can't let go of this movie.<br/><br/>I echo your sentiments of Shawshank, though. It was the last rated R movie in my collection as I was selling them all off. The story is so great I get goosebumps a minimum of 3 times per viewing. For me, it’s Gladiator.
