Ok, now ya'll have convinced me. I read the book while I was at my daughter's a couple of weeks ago and loved it so much I was afraid to see the movie because they usually aren't as good. Now I have to go out and buy it. I'm sold. Tonight I wanted to get the book The Wedding which sort of picks up where The Notebook left off but they only had it in hardcover and not cheap. So I got another book of his and will start it when I go to bed soon.

I read the book first, and when I saw the movie, sis and I just bawled. There was so much emotion in this picture.

I just rented this movie and absolutely loved it. James Garner was just so good, and Gena Rowlands. I am going to buy this movie for my library.

I watched this movie Friday night and loved it right up to the end where not only did it not end like the book, but what happens if they try to make a movie from The Wedding. I love James Garner. I can't count how many times I've seen Murphy's Romance.

I cried too. I had not read the book. My DH watched it with me. And I was crying and he was rubbing my back. But he got misty eyed too.

I didn't just cry, I sobbed. It took me about 15 minutes after the movie to be able to call and tell DH about it.

It was amazing!!

My DH and I rented this movie Friday night. I thought it was one of the most endearing, touching love stories of all time. The devotion and sentiment in the relationship between the characters should be an example to all of us on how love is so much more than feelings.....it is a total commitment to wanting the best for the other person. How sweet the characters of James Garner and Gena Rowlands - both young and old - were with each other. I told my DH that that was what I wanted from our relationship. That unity of spirit.

lol, i didn't remember anything about the sex scenes and I told my best friend that it was safe for her two young daughters to watch with her. I still don't remember anything bad even after she told me she sent them out of the room during the sex scene.

You can tell I dont have kids. I am still scratching my head at what was so wrong...lol

We sent our 13.5 year old son out of the room too, when things got really intimate.....and he blushingly and willingly went. LOL

spoiler spoiler spoiler... don't read this unless you really want to know: Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling won this year's MTV award for best onscreen kiss. That should come as no surprise to any of us who love watching this movie over and over...

My list is:
The Notebook
Where The Heart Is
Hope Floats
Steel Magnolias
Pearl Harbor
Titanic

Just saw it last night with DH & am still crying this morning. Usually he falls asleep in front of the tv, but DH sat thru the whole movie. Then he said that he would take care of me.

Watched it this afternoon. Loved it.

A very emotional love story that had me giggling with them and crying with them too.

The intimacy was exquisite and the love making was perfect for the time and place.

It took me about half an hour to stop sobbing.

Wonderful movie. Sorry that I just rented it and didn't buy it.

I feel the same way. I saw the movie first and then read the book. I wish I would have done it the other way around. O could not get the visuals out of my head while reading it.

I was really inspired by it ..something about it makes you get all romantic and reminiscing...

rosie, holly and i saw it in the theaters, and when it came out on DVD, we bought it. we've probably watched it 4 or 5 times since. we both kind of fast forward through it for specific things we like. and then BAWL like babies.
