Things That Make Your Heart Go 'Squee!' Part III

My all-time favorite movie ending is the very last part of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor.  I think it's romantic and sexy and wonderful and perfect.  But alas, no one has uploaded it on YouTube, and I don't know how.  Sigh. 

So, you get something else wonderful instead.  This is a lovely tribute video of Paul Newman, one of the best-looking men ever, showing clips of him from some of his movies.  But as the creator of the video states, "Even though he co-starred with many beautiful women, he only had eyes for his wife of 50 yrs. Joanne."  And so the only woman you'll see in these clips is her.  And to me nothing makes my heart go 'Squee!' more than someone being true to and adoring me my whole life.



If you have never seen a Paul Newman movie, go right now and get one.  Now.  Seriously.  I recommend the above mentioned, as well as "The Long Hot Summer" or "Cool Hand Luke."

So, readers, what are some of your favorite romantic movies, scenes, or fellas to look at?  What makes your heart go 'Squee!'?

So I saw a link to your blog on Nichole's and was all "I wonder if that is the Marie from book club?" And sure enough, I am now blogstalking you. Hope you don't mind. I seriously love this post because Paul Newman is my all-time top movie star crush. And the ending of that movie is pretty dang sexy. Although did you know that in the original Tennessee Williams play Paul's character is actually gay (as is Paul from Breakfast at Tiffany's)? Thank goodness for the censorship of that time or we would have missed out on some great romantic movie endings.

Dasha! I love that you found me. Now I'm going to have to find your blog and stalk you.:) I did know about the gay character in "COAHTR" but not in "BAT." Thank goodness for that censorship.
