For a moment there I thought Moulin Rouge wasn't on either list and I was gonna freak. Then I did a text search and found it.

I have to say that while I'm not big on musicals, I adore Moulin Rouge. The story is ultimate romance. I love the fact that it's not the typical happily ever after, I love the songs that are adapted from pop culture songs (especially the tango de Roxanne) and the costumes... everything about the movie is stunning.

Also... no 10 Things I Hate About You? Sure it's a teen romance movie but it's adapted from shakspeare for pity's sake!

In fact that movie's title was made to rhyme with the orignal shakespearian title. Taming the Shrew. ninja

But anyways. Most the romance movies I prefer are musicals, since well then the movie can go onto my mp3 player.

I heart heart heart heart heart P. S. I Love You something major! It is a fantastic movie!

However, whatever you do: do NOT read the book!! The book is utter crap. And I think this is the only book-to-film that I have ever said that about.
