Romantic Movies: Persuasion and North and South

Recently two different dear friends posted about the 2007 adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion and their posts got me thinking that perhaps you--dear friends-- may not have discovered North and South, a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell. Some have claimed the Persuasion movie has the worst-ever kiss and perhaps it is true. But North and South may possibly the best cinema kiss and for the new year I thought I should share. Enjoy.

  3. Just finished the book 2 weeks ago and currently have the BBC movie from the library sitting right next to me and was about to put it in and watch it again. Ina's book club is reading it this month too. Wow - it's like we are all on the same page. :-)

  4. Very sweet and tender kiss. Right up on my list. Have you seen the kiss from "Last of the Mohicans"? OHHH MYYY. Beautious. I can't wait to watch this. It IS on Netflix - streamed. And I have that! (as of late) But you need to know this: That actor is the villain from BBC's "Robin Hood." And it was hard to get past that :)

    I have much to tell you. Call me when you can. I'm in drama mode.
