Beautiful movie
seeing this movie over and over again makes me fall in love with the actors over and over again

Extreme Romance!
I bought this movie after I saw the new Mamma Mia movie with Meryl Streep, I can't get enough of her. I loved this movie, it will become one of my favorites, it is so romantic, excellent story, Meryl is excellent and I just know you will love it too!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS OF ALL TIME - A GEM!
I saw this film many years ago in a local theater here in the Philippines (Greenbelt 1 in Makati City) and I simply loved it! It was so romantic! My grandmother too loved the film when she saw it on video and it has become like a practice for us to see the film every once in a while on DVD especially when it is Christmas time to relive how wonderful and heartwarming this movie is which is timed at Christmas. I became an instant Meryl Streep fan when I first saw this movie. A very underrrated film I must say but one of her best. I simply love how this film shows how two people meet by chance and then later on when they decide to meet by choice and framed within a New York setting during Christmas time when people are going through the holiday rush. The music by Dave Grusin (I loved how he used Mountain Dance throughtout the film) is perfect and the magnificent ending is really one for the books - one of the best endings I have ever seen in the movies. The film also captures Meryl and Robert at their youthful best! Meryl was so beautiful in this film and Robert was really leading man handsome which spelled magic in their wonderful scenes together. This film ranks among my favorite films of all time because of its simplicity and beauty. I commend the director Ulu Grosbard and the writer Michael Cristofer for this gem!

A true gem that deserves more recognition
Even after all these years, this remains one of my favorite love stories. It is a different kind of love story though..the two main protagonists played by Robert de Niro and Meryl Streep are married to other people, yet a chance encounter leads to another meeting, and eventually a friendship develops...this later moves on to something more deep, an attraction and love that transcends everything else. Hollywood doesn't make movies like this anymore...there is no gratutious sex or foul language, just a slow simmering attraction that grows from strength to strength. The two leads are good people who don't really want to hurt their respective spouses, and so their moral dilemma...how do they realise their true feelings for each other whilst not hurting their spouses? Adultery is such a delicate subject, yet is handled here with gentleness and finesse. De Niro & Streep give exacting performances, with tremendous depth and insight into the psyche of a pair of 'lovers' who desire to be with each other yet also want to remain faithful to their marriage vows. A classic love story & definitely a keeper!

Beautifully romantic
This is a lovely story about courtly love. It is quite realistic and both DeNiro and Streep are perfectly cast - in fact, DeNiro says this is his favorite role, because it was a romantic story with Streep. The DVD is in great shape, and it came quickly. Thank you!
