Happy Valentine's Day

In honor of Valentine's Day I thought I would share a recommendation for one of my favorite romantic movies, "Before Sunrise". The premise is simple - American on vacation in Europe has 1 day left when he meets a beautiful French woman on a train. He convinces her to spend the day with him. What follows is their day and night.

As with most Richard Linklater movies, this may not be for everyone. There is a lot of dialogue and very little action. And in some regards the discussion is very pretentious. But watching the way the 2 couples interact and ultimately fall in love is much more interesting and exciting than it sounds. Everytime I watch this movie I remember why I find it so beautiful. Comes highly recommended.
