I love the old movies and "The King and I" is one of my favorites - not the ending, just the story! Romantic movies are always nice but I love the mysteries, spy movies and comedies the very best. All filled with wonderful examples of virtue, both good and bad. And I wholeheartedly agree with the opinion "fat, lazy, and atrophied" and not just applied to romance movies!
Wow! What a great commentary on the movies! My husband and I are movie buffs but pretty much hate most of the stuff made after 1965.
Romance has become 'fat, lazy and atrophied' in most modern film! I think you nailed it.

Maybe my favorite movie is The Searchers, tied with They Were Expendable. Both focus on mission. In both, romance takes back seat to duty.
I think you've hit on something here.
“It Happened One Night” shows characters with real sexual constraint. Inconceivable for a film today.
The walls of Jericho! Great film!
Great stuff man, looking forward to watching these. “How Green Was my Valley” has a similar side plot about Duty over romance. Great film.
Ah, great one! You’re totally right, can’t believe I forgot that one, it’s so good.
