I have been watching alot of these lately and was hoping for suggestions.

Sort of like Romeo and Juliet type stuff.

Dandelion the movie was a good one.

my so called life

blankets the graphic novel

what are some other good ones? I know this is probably the single most talked or written about or filmed about or sung about subject in art,

but what are some of the standouts of each art form? Music? Film? Books?

just art that deals with love.

    Beloved by Toni Morrison, it's more about motherly love (and other themes of course) but it's very powerful and if you haven't read it I can definitely recommend it, especially because you said in your other thread (i think it was you anyway) you were only interested in art which has emotion.

    It is very powerful, haunting and beautiful.

    Some films with different types of love here...

    Live Flesh by Pedro Almodovar (very complicated film about 4 people whose lives are linked by each others feelings)

    My Own Private Idaho by Gus Van Sant. It's about two rent boys, one gay played by River Phoenix and one who claims to be straight, played by Keanu Reeves, who does it for the money. They travel around in search of the gay one's mother. The gay one is in love with the straight one. It's not about rent boys so much as about life going in circles.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
