Top 10 Movies About Love

Top 10 Movies to Put Your Faith in Love

By Dena Ross

Sometimes, even when life's going pretty well, there's nothing more satisfying than crawling into a little ball on the couch with a blanket, a box of tissues, and movie that makes you think about—and probably makes you shed some tears over-- the power of love. And I'm not just referring to romantic love. The platonic love of family and friends can be just as touching and compelling in a great film.

"The Last Song," a film starring Miley Cyrus and Greg Kinnear based on the best-selling Nicolas Sparks novel, focuses on an estranged father trying to reconnect with his teenage daughter through a mutual love of music. Besides the heartfelt father-daughter connection, this movie also tackles first loves, second chances and salvation. The film releases March 31, 2010.

Perhaps "The Last Song" will become one of your new go-to films when you need a little comfort and inspiration.

'Selena'

When Mexican-American singer Selena, "Queen of Tejano Music" burst onto the music scene in the early 90s, I was too busy banging my head to Nirvana and Pearl Jam to notice. But when she was murdered in 1995 by her fan club manager, I was awakened to the shock, anger, and heartbreak among her many fans. In the heavily Hispanic areas of my hometown, Brooklyn, N.Y., I noticed memorial T-shirts worn by many. In "Selena," Jennifer Lopez wonderfully portrays the music star (in a performance she hasn't matched to date) as a carefree, amazingly talented young woman, who loved her family, fans, and music, and whose life and career was cut way too short. Watching her fans and family grieve her loss--both in the movie and in real-life--was absolutely heartbreaking.
