Far and Away

Oh my goodness, Far and Away is one of the two movies that totally encapsulates my Freshman and Sophomore years of college. Which is a bit funny since it came out 5 years before I went to college. Wow, I had no idea the movie was that old. But I suppose it was someone's favorite movie, and she brought it to college with her, and everyone else whose favorite movie it was watched it with her, and then the boys realized that there was a bit of action and hello Nicole Kidman, so they watched it, and all of a sudden we had about 20 people all crammed in front of the TV. So very much fun. And yay for young Tom Cruise.

I have to say, the soundtrack to this movie is also quite phenominal. I think there's a chance that I might think about using the flute piece for my wedding processional, maybe while the bridesmaids walk down the aisle. It's just so beautiful. And it's been a long time since I've stayed to the end of a movie and heard the last song come to such an emphatic conslusion. That's really how all movie soundtracks should end. Plus--Enya. Ok, it's just a great soundtrack all around.

This one definitely must be purchased on DVD. :)
