Murphy's Romance - 1985
Back when Sally Field was a recent two time Oscar winner, 1979 & 1984, she made a cute movie with James Garner. I watched it for the umpteenth time the other day. It's still cute and while Sally was ok it was Garner who stood out.
Plot: Emma, a divorced mother with one son, buys a rundown horse ranch and tries to start her life over. Murphy is a widowed druggist and a hot property for the widows in town. He doesn't lack for dinner invitations. For some reason he falls for Emma and things are progressing until her ex-husband shows up, broke looking for Emma to take him in and take care of him. Things are dicey for awhile but in the end Murphy & Emma properly start their romance.
James Garner died in 2014, such as shame. His most recent memorable movie roll was in The Notebook and he was in TV's Maverick & The Rockford files...to name just a few of his roles.

The Notebook (2004)
Detractors will call The Notebook clichéd and predictable. Fans (including myself) will embrace the familiar elements and point out the strong performances and the on-screen chemistry between the leads. You’ve seen some of what this romantic drama has to offer before but this movie pulls all of those elements together and hits it out of the park.
At a nursing home, Duke (James Garner) reads a story from his notebook to a fellow resident (Gena Rowlands). Set in the 1940s, it follows Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling) and Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams), the summer love affair that brings them together, their separation, and their insatiable longing while apart.
I’ll admit some of the big scenes feel a little forced. Passionate kisses in the rain, parallel stories with the nursing home patients and the couple in the notebook, unfulfilled love like the one here, are more cinematic than realistic… but they work. It's Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. You want them to get together. When they’re next to each other, the sparks are tangible. Even when they argue, you can tell there’s something special present. When she catches his eyes, you remember what it was like when you met that special person. When he convinces her to go out with him, it’s like the first time your significant other said “Yes” to you. The film is unabashedly romantic and knows it. The objective is to make your heart swell and keep you guessing. Not whether or not they’ll get together, but how and when. It’s the meeting of your expectations and the payoff that makes this picture soar.
Sure Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are treats for the eyes, but we all know we’ll eventually wind up as wrinkly old bags, which is why the film's wraparound story is so important. The Notebook assures us that life won’t end the minute you spot a grey hair. The period setting also helps bolster the romance. There’s something about the people of this time before. Their shyness, the way a first date’s climax might be the holding of hands or a single kiss. It asks you to be patient as the people involved slowly come together, going on many dates to truly discover themselves as a couple. Just like slasher films are best set before 1983 when cell phones came and ruined it all, romantic dramas get a solid boost by taking place in times we're nostalgic for; when seeing a woman’s ankle was scandalous and real men had to work with their hands out in the sun, their muscles glistening with sweat.
The picture resists the urge to introduce a villain, which is a relief. The obstacles are people who try their best and life, which often disagrees with our premade plans. In a world where people do wind up alone, where good guys lose in the end and some love goes unfulfilled, this couple’s passion is incendiary, a blazing testament to first love that ends on the perfect note.
Even the most cynical audience members - the kind who scoff at the idea of waiting for that one girl/guy for years - won’t be able to deny the picture's charms. When you’re in the mood for a sweet/sappy love story, you’ve gotta go with The Notebook. Nothing else will do. (On DVD, December 9, 2016)

Cuenta la SORPRENDENTE HISTORIA REAL de un grupo de prisioneros EXPERTOS en FUGAS, encerrados en un CAMPO DE PRISIONEROS, durante la SEGUNDA GUERRA MUNDIAL. Su objetivo: Conseguir la LIBERTAD. Su misión: Intentar tantas fugas como sea posible para servir de distracción a los soldados alemanes y que se descuiden en otros FRENTES. STALAG LUTZ, un campo de prisioneros del que, aparentemente, es imposible escapar, va a ser puesto a prueba. Una película que cuenta con actores británicos, americanos y alemanes que aportan su EXPERIENCIA REAL durante la guerra.
