American Beauty, Sweet November, Blue Castle, Tuck Everlasting.

It occurs to me that many of my favorite books and movies share a theme: getting the most out of life, living life to its fullest, finding and holding on to love because it makes life worth living.

I was a bit worried about watching the movie adaptation to Tuck Everlasting, afraid that they'd mutate it, chop it up... It's really been so many years, probably at least 10, since I'd read it last, so I don't really remember all that much of it. But I loved it anyway.

I'm a hopeless romantic sometimes. (And I'm glad.)
