Steam it up

Martin have I been married for 8 years...or is it 7? I think it's 7. Yes, 7! Plus 2ish years of dating, so that's nearly a decade of being together. So when I saw a listing in Glamour magazine of "Hot Flicks". I figured we would have seen them all already.

So, I started to read the list:

The Other Boleyn Girl
(Well, no, we haven't seen that, but that just came out...last February.)

Atonement
(Nope. Didn't see that!)

Prime
(Again, nope. Probably waiting for it to get to the "old releases" section of the video store. Oh wait! Yes, we did see it! But it obviously isn't very memorable.)

The Notebook
(Yes! Well, not really. We saw it on T.V. The last hour of it (plus commercials) and I loved it until the END THAT WAS HORRIBLE.

Unfaithful
(It doesn't sound like it ends well...so no, haven't seen it.)

Amelie
(Our friend wouldn't shut up about this movie, so I guess we never bothered to go see it.)

The Thomas Crown Affair
(I think it involved a briefcase. I'm not really excited by briefcases.)

Shakespeare in Love
(Yes! Yes! I saw this one! It was lovely! It was great.)


(Oh, I saw it with a different guy...not Martin. Does that still count?)

That's the list. If you think I should go back and see one of the movies, let me know and I will see if I can find it on Hulu.com.

Those are all Hot couple movies? Really? I think I failed the test too. I haven't seen any of them with my husband either...

You really should watch 'Y Tu Mama Tambien'. We have loaned it to friends with excellent results...

Don't watch Atonement! I made the mistake of seeing this movie and I all I wanted after it was the two hours of my life back. It was drawn out and boring!

I loved Shakespeare in Love but I haven't seen the others either. I read Atonement years ago and thought it was a bit dull so I've not seen the film, but I'd see that, Amelie and The Other Boleyn Girl as chick flicks not coupley ones. (Coupley so is a word.) Weird.

What would you add to the list? Just curious.

Ooo,ooo...don't see "Unfaithful." Good sex scenes but disgusting actions! Bad karma to them. Bad, bad, bad. Plus, the kid is that weirdo from "Malcomb in the Middle." He's like 9 or 10 in the movie but behaves like a frickin' 4 year old! Oo, oo...

Oh...DO see Eyes Wide Shut. Ha, ha! That'll get it going!

i have only seen s/i/l. and it is not a brian film. if there is no dogfight, he is unlikely to watch it.

i have a highly evolved husband. . .

he has opposable thumbs!!!

I'm pretty upset that you still haven't seen Amelie. Does my friendship mean nothing to you? *sigh*

Shakespeare in Love? Best picture? Yeah. I fell asleep in the theater :(

dapoppins: Well, it was from Glamour...I guess I shouldn't have expected much.

stu: Noted. Will add it to my list.

jacob: Thanks for the heads up! It looks boring.

jo: It ain't a word until you put it in the Urban Dictionary.

manimal:
The one that springs to mind is:
Laurel Canyon
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298408/

boggy: Eyes wide shut, ok...good to know.

holly: You said fight. Ahhh....Fight Club, dirty, dirty, Brad Pitt....

Jake: I'm sorry, who are you exactly?

square: What a very helpful first comment! It's on my list, but I will bump it up some per your suggestion.

aaron: Ok, fine. Briefcases are hot. Phew! I'm on fire!
