There are still some decent romantic movies out there, but not as many as I'd like. What amuses me is how much romance there is in supposedly non-romance movies--think Speed or Desperado--but if you try to tell someone they're actually romances that just happen to also be action/adventure flicks, they'd probably argue with you. I often try to get people interested in romance novels by saying, "If you liked such-and-such a movie, you'd like such-and-such a romance or author," but they don't always believe me.

Sorry, but I want my romance! I want the HEA and I don't want to spend money to be depressed. Same goes for my reading. I will always choose a romance over the current bestseller--why spend time reading something that will depress me? Well, I guess now you know why I haven’t been in a movie theater since 1984!
