Late for Dinner (1991)
Will love prevail? You bet it will? Or will it?
This is one of my favorite films that I can watch over and over again. Frank, who has kidney disease is with his friend and brother-in-law, Willy. Destiny takes hold of their lives as Frank is given the idea that if he takes a "very long one night sleep", that perhaps the next morning, he can just walk into a hospital and request a new kidney (when kidney transplants hadn't even been heard of). Frank and Willy find themselves in a new reality and find out how important real love truly is, and how easily it can be lost, in this science fiction romantic drama which I highly recommend. The film ends with one of the most wonderful songs sung by Linda Ronstadt, "I Love You For Sentimental Reasons".
Just the Way You Are (1984)
Delightful, enchanting, and hopeful!
Great one-liners in this timeless romantic comedy of a girl destined to wear a metal brace her entire life, which has caused her to feel "different" from other girls. But she comes to have an ingenious idea to change her destiny and possibly, just possibly find romance and maybe even love. For the first time in her life she experiences life in it's splendor, ups, downs, fears that she faces, but all in all, experiences things she never thought were possible. This film always puts a smile on my face. I've searched and searched for it on DVD, but no luck yet. Hopefully, it will be made or has already been made in DVD format. I highly recommend it.
