A Lot Like Love (2005)


This is my favorite romantic comedy. I don't want to spoil it, but its basically about two individuals, Oliver and Emily whose relationship slowly evolves from lust to friendship to romance over the course of seven years. They keep bumping into each other and realize they've fallen in love but circumstances keep them apart; but only physically.

I've always fantasized about eternal love because I believe that true love never dies and if you're truly meant to be with someone, call it destiny or whatever, then you'll eventually find each other again regardless of any circumstances. Because if both lovers feel that they were each others' soul mate, best friend and best lover then why would they settle for anything less than what they already found?

Favorite quote from the movie:

"Honestly, if you're not willing to sound stupid you don't deserve to be in love" - Emily



The soundtrack is amazing too. Here is the theme song to it and is probably my favorite love song too. The lyrics are beautiful, I could relate to it now.

"I never understood before. I never knew what love was for. My heart was broke my head was sore what a feeling. Tied up in ancient history I didn't believe in destiny. I look up you're standing next to me, what a feeling. What a feeling in my soul, love burns brighter than sunshine. Let the rain fall I don't care, I'm yours and suddenly you're mine. And it's brighter than sunshine." - Aqualung
