IF YOU COULD 
LIVE A ROMANCE 
IN A MOVIE . . .

I am a movie person. I love seeing films as first releases on a huge screen. I'm totally spoiled with our local theater's over 21 Cinema Suites. You should totally spoil yourself and see a movie this way. It's terrific !!   But I also watch movies for inspiration, to get ideas for fight scenes (YES, I pause and write descriptions). Do I have a favorite? I have one for all occasions. For every mood. Too many to name. From Bringing Up Baby with Kathryn Hepburn to Chris Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy. . . choosing just one for this post was very difficult. So what about the rest of the crew?          ~Angi

Everything about this movie is charming. Big box store versus little family store. Guy chatting with girl on the internet not knowing who each other is. Based on Pride and Prejudice and written by the amazing Nora Ephron. Set around Christmas time.  Witty dialogue. I love it!!!




I have watched this scene countless times over the years and I never, ever get tired of it. First of all, it's Colin Firth, duh. But the romance of it does me in every time. Imagine someone going to all the trouble of learning your native language so he can put into words the emotions he's been feeling for you from the time you met. And then you astound him by showing you've learned his language, too, because you feel the same way. Not only that, he travels across land and sea to find you, proposes in a most beautiful setting in front of everyone who loves you, and kisses you--and your dad! This scene has it all:  true love, self-sacrifice, dedication, going the extra mile, not taking love for granted, vulnerability, and sexy accents. Oh, yeah, this is the kind of romance I love to write. I'd be Aurelia in a heartbeat!


If I could live in a fantasy world, I would replace Sigourney Weaver in the movie DAVE.  I loved Kevin Kline as the kind-loving imposter who took the place of the president.  I’d make the world a better place and be smiling the whole time doing it.  He’s my absolute favorite!



My favorite romantic movie is While You Were Sleeping, starring Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. Lucy has a crush on a man who rides the train. When Peter falls on the tracks one day, she saves him and ends up at the hospital. A nurse overhears her mumbling about being his girlfriend and BOOM, she's sitting next to his bed and meeting his family. It's so wrong, and she knows it.  But it isn't until she meets Peter's brother, Jack, that she realizes she's with the wrong man. The harder she tries to tell the truth, the worse things become. Instead of spending Christmas alone, she's surrounded by her new family. She agrees to marry Peter and is standing at the altar when she finally admits that she's in love with Jack.

It's sweet and funny!  I love a happy ending, especially when its the girl-next-door who thinks she knows exactly what she wants.


I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be June in KNIGHT & DAY. This movie represents my books and ultimate wish list! I write about heroines caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, then taken on an adventure with the man they complete. What a dream! This movie hits all the right buttons for me with it's humor, honor, action, chemistry and music. I actually write every book to the soundtrack. I love the dialogue. It's one of my favorite movies to quote. "With me. Without me," has become a favorite with me and my hubby. Along with, "It's someday, Roy."
