Must-See of the Week: Moonstruck

Today is Valentine’s Day, which means it’s time for some romance, if only in a movie.

A very romantic movie that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day is Moonstruck. When I was a teenager, I adored Cher, so of course, I went to see the movie for which she won an Oscar. Admittedly, I was too young to really relate to the story, but I loved the atmosphere, loved the setting in the streets of New York (back then, one of my biggest dreams was to one day be able to visit New York – I’ve been there four times now and still love it) and I of course loved Cher. When we left the movie theater, I asked the usher whether they had a poster of the movie I could buy, and luckily, they did. So for a couple years, a huge poster of Cher graced the wall of my bedroom, and I didn’t get tired of it for a long time.

I still think it’s a great picture:

The only downer for me regarding that movie was and still is Nicolas Cage. Don’t like him, never did. So obviously, my favorite scene of the movie is this one:

If you’ve now decided that you MUST see this movie – good choice. It’s a classic, and I love to watch it from time to time. Like today, for example.
