I am a HUGE fan of Nicholas Sparks. I have never seen one of his movies that I didn’t fall in love with. His movies are beautiful and so full of heart.
If I had to choose my favorite Nicholas Sparks book/movie I would have a hard time doing so. I think they are all wonderful. If I had to pick my top 3 (in no particular order) I’d go with A Walk to Remember, The Notebook and Dear John.
A new Nicholas Sparks film is coming to theaters on October 17, 2014 called The Best of Me. I think it’s coming out at a great time. My husband and I celebrate our 18th anniversary that weekend. What better way to celebrate then to go see a romantic movie.
Based on the bestselling novel by acclaimed author Nicholas Sparks, The Best of Me tells the story of Dawson and Amanda, two former high school sweethearts who find themselves reunited after 20 years apart, when they return to their small town for the funeral of a beloved friend. Their bittersweet reunion reignites the love they’ve never forgotten, but soon they discover the forces that drove them apart twenty years ago live on, posing even more serious threats today. Spanning decades, this epic love story captures the enduring power of our first true love, and the wrenching choices we face when confronted with elusive second chances.
The film stars James Marsden, Michelle Monaghan, Luke Bracey and Liana Liberato.
I really like James Marsden. I think him and Michelle Monaghan make a beautiful couple.
Check out this special movie trailer.
It looks really good. I am going to talk my hubby into going to see it for our anniversary. I plan on bringing plenty of tissues with me too because Nicholas Sparks films tend to be “tear jerkers” too. LOL!
