We can all learn from love in the movies. After all, they’ve been scripted to make us emotionally charged and think about the life lessons. As your Great Love Reporter and entertainment executive, there are tons of movie couple examples in my Books, CDs and Articles. For fun, below are my top 10 picks and the love lessons from the big screen for the Best Romance Movies for the 21st Century.

Have you heard about the Sundance hit, An Education that is getting rave reviews from both the critics and viewers? In this romantic movie, we learn a ton about naïve love from Carey Mulligan (Jenny) and Peter Sarsgaard (David) who tempts her with a Great Life, but falls short on being a Great Love. The movie takes places in the suburbs of London in 1960s, and is filled with creative twists that make this movie a must see!

Wow, have you seen the movie, Pride and Prejudice (2005) with Keira Knightly (Lizzie Bennett) and Matthew Macfayen (Mr. Darcy)? This film gets 5 stars in my book because it gives awesome examples of what works and doesn’t work in relationships. You can see powerful Great Lover signs in their smiles and sincere messages, along with Bad Lover red flags that make you cringe.

If you’re ready for a playful and entertaining romantic comedy, check out the hot new movie, I Love You, Man. You’ll find it uplifting to watch Paul Rudd (Peter Klaven) transform from a whimp into a Confident Metro Male who is unstoppable. When Paul gets engaged to Rashida Jones (Zooey), he gets hit with the reality that he has no male friends and goes on a search for a best man. He’s got a fiance, but forgot to build a great life.

Have you seen the movie, He’s Just Not That Into You? It’s about all those crazy things that singles and married people do to mess up their relationships. This movie gets 3 stars for the love lessons about the Bad Lover Signs that should blast the alarm bells and make you run for the nearest exit! You want a relationship to go from Good to Great Love, and a Bad Lover only spells trouble and heartache.

Do you ever wonder whether true love still exists? Check out the hot Sundance Film Festival hit, Paper Heart, and doubt no more. Charlyne Yi (main character) takes you on a heart-warming quest across the U.S. by interviewing lovers about how they found their special love connection (which is very similar to the advice tips and success story interviews in my books, Smart Man Hunting and How to Attract Great Love.

Have you ever dated someone for the money? Have you ever had sex for sex’s sake? While Spread is a great movie that you should go see when it opens on Aug 14, 2009, Ashton Kutcher plays a Bad Lover who you don’t want to date. His main purpose in life is to chase wealthy women who can give him an extravagant Hollywood Hills lifestyle, which you should avoid like the plague. Ok, he’s very cute, but very dangerous.

What if Bridget Jones had a Dating Coach in the first movie, Bridget Jones Diary? There probably would not have been a sequel if she read How to Attract Great Love that offers insights from thousands of coaching sessions and success stories. A Dating Coach would have told Renee Zwellweger to run from bad boy Hugh Grant and recognize her Prince Colin Firth much faster. In the second movie, Bridget Jones 2: Edge of Reason, she’s smarter, but continues to have a hard time identifying the real deal. What can singles and Bridget Jones learn from a Dating Coach?

What can we learn from the love triangle in the black and white classic, Casablanca (1942)? There are powerful Great Love examples in this movie that takes place during World War II, when Europeans flocked to Casablanca for safety. Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) is in love with two men, the smooth and mysterious bar owner, Rick (Humphrey Bogart) and her war activist husband, Victor (Paul Heinreid). While you might get upset with Ilsa for her wandering eyes, the war circumstances explain how this love twist unfolds.

Have you ever gone on a trip that was such a rich experience that it planted a smile on your face? To attract great love faster, fill you life with Rich Experiences like the one that I had at the Sundance Film Festival (where this photo was taken with Sting). Where can you go to enjoy your passions and fill your heart with positive energy? As your Great Love Reporter, my passions have been working in the entertainment industry, watching movies and sharing the love lessons – so Sundance was a perfect match for my heart.

Are you ready to attract the great love that you deserve? Do you want some help from an outsider who has been there, done that. We all work on career plans, financial goals, and learn the steps are needed to buy a house – so why not create a Great Love Power Plan?

Are you ready to find a Great Lover who adores you, charges your battery, and is totally into you? They’re ready for a real deal, and you deserve the royal treatment! To help you identify them faster, here are five Great Lover Types (even if you have any hesitation, give these lovers a closer look).

Are you truly in love with your life? Do you have rich experiences that fuel positive energy? And are there any missing pieces that deserve your attention? When I coach singles how to attract true love, the first thing that we do is look at their Life Script. It’s not a long process, and this SCRIPT approach can help you easily identify what is missing.

Are you tired of dealing with a Bad Lover who treats you like dirt? They’re so self-absorbed that they probably can’t even see how much they’re hurting you. To help you identify them faster, here are five Bad Lover Types that should be given the boot immediately (easier said than done, but it’s really the best thing for both of you).

Do you want to know some Great Love Secrets for identifying your perfect match and compatibility faster? In this Great Love Review, we’ll cover the classic romance movie, When Harry Met Sally with Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. Based on the ABC Man Codes in my first book, Smart Man Hunting, for the main male personality types, let’s take a look a closer look at the relationship dynamics. What man codes does Harry represent that make his relationship work with Sally?
