Hello there! My good friend and fellow author S. K. Yule and I are doing a dual post of clips from great romantic movies and shows. I’m sharing a list of some of the best romantic moments captured in movies and television, while she is sharing her list of the 10 most sexiest scenes on her blog (caution – contains super steamy scenes that are not safe for work or around innocents!).

Here’s 10 of favorite romantic scenes:

1. Love Actually - link to video

2. Dirty Dancing – link to video

3. Punch Drunk Love

4. Meet Joe Black

5. Love And Basketball

6. Kama Sutra – link to video

7. City of Angels

8. Ghost

9. The Notebook

10. The Time Traveller’s Wife – link to video

I present to you one of my idols. The beautiful, talented, sultry Eartha Kitt.

Why was this woman so fabulous? How much more of her fabulous (outside of her Catwoman role) did I miss? And oh my god the pigtails with that song – she reminds me of someone I know …

(Thanks, Wilfredo!)

I just finished watching the first season of Legend of the Seeker, an action-adventure fantasy television series based on The Sword of Truth novels by Terry Goodkind.  Because I haven’t read the books yet I can’t vouch for how true or not the show is to the books, but on its own it’s quite entertaining.

(I don’t think film and serials should be directly compared against novels they’re derived from anyways – they are different mediums for story-telling and therefore impossible to keep identical.)

Here’s 13 reasons why I think this show is hot:

1. Magic and mayhem abounds
2. It’s action-packed and adventurous
3. Actors that are well suited for their roles (they definitely get better over time)
4. Richard Cypher, “The Seeker”, is so yumm!
5. Honorable heroes and heroines that stick to their morals (even when it’s really, really hard)
6. Mmmm …. forbidden love
7. There are so few good fun Fantasy series on TV!
8. Hot men tortured by hot women (there’s something wonderful about a gorgeous guy helplessly hanging from the ceiling, dontcha think?)



9. The writing is surprisingly smart – even the bad guys are more clever than you’d expect
10. Women that kick butt and look good while doing it
11. The characters often end up in seemingly hopeless predicaments with high tension, and you won’t often be able to guess how they’re going to get out of it
12. Stunning costumes – I want this white one …
13. Each episode is better than the one before
    
    

Do you watch Legend of the Seeker? If so, I’d love to hear what you think.
