Show Thursday, February 14, 1991 The Daily Utah Chronicle - Page Twelve Valentine's video options: sex or no sex By Dave Macfarlane Chronicle Feature Writer In anticipation of the many couples who have failed to make plans for this evening I early evening plans anyway have prepared a video guide by which you may salvage whatever romance there is in your relationship. Now, exactly what kind of and videos you your slave matedatepartnerlove desire on how far along your relationship is or what it's based on. depends Never fear, in an effort to please our diverse readership, I nave assembled two categories with subheadings from which to choose. They are: films with great love without all that needless sex, and films with great sex without all that needless love, take your pick. The review starts with love, for no apparent reason: Always-PG-13-lot of people was one this stupid too thought too whatever. sweet, sappy, a little was but it it sugary Maybe was a great love story. Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter give A great performances and have great chemistry. Look for them again in the just released Once Around. John Goodman really gives the film a comic boost. When Harry Met Sally-R-great film about relationships and the evolution of love from friendship. The script is fantastic and Rob Reiner hasn't directed a bad film yet, this being one of his best. A strong cast under Reiner's direction makes it a sure thing. me The Sure to laud the efforts of Rob Reiner A Thing-PG-Allo- w once again. One of his first efforts this film is a funny romance about falling in love with someone you initially can't stand. John Cusack is hilarious chasing the resisitant Daphne Zuniga. g out Princess the Rob Reiner subheading, this Bride-PG-Closin- fantasy love story is perfectly crafted to be magical, funny and without romantic being overbearing. Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin and Robin Wright, as well as small roles by Billy Crystal and Carol Kane, create a wonderful film. would Pretty Woman-R-Ther- e be great wailing and gnashing of left this one out. Though this is a "chic flick," Pretty Woman was a big winner at the box office last year, due mostly to the captivating Julia Roberts. Her screen chemistry teeth if I with Richard Gere makes it a fun movie. Casablanca-PG-- real classic A and probably the most popular of all Bogart's films. Don't let the fact that it's old and in deter you, for here there is more romance than in black-and-whi- te most of the films coming out today. Who's Guess Dinner-PG-Ho- w Coming To can you lose with Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy and Sidney Poitier. A love story, this film deals with much more, like interracial relationships and coping with parents as you grow up. This is really a beautiful film. Love Story-PG-Th- should is probably be listed first. No compilation of love films would be complete without this great film with Ryan O' Neal and Ali McGraw in perhaps her only good performance ever outside of makeup ads. If you would prefer something that appeals to a more prurient interest, please see below. For the sake of taste I have ommitted more blatantly sexual films such as "Bodacious and Art of Sensual "Playboy's Ta-Ta- CHRONICLE PHOTOBoone J.

Mickey Rourke has been in almost every sleazy film ever made, so it's no surprise he didn't miss this one. Who wouldn't pass up an opportunity to work with Kim Basinger? Wild Orchid-R-- truly awful A film, once again starring the king of sleaze, Mickey Rourke. This was one that flirted with an X rating before the censor (Yeah! Right!) saved it for an R, but the original uncut version can be found at Blockbuster. Appeals to only one emotion, and it's not love. Body in places and well acted throughout, William Hurt and Kathleen Turner give this film something Heat-R-Steam- y most fleshier films don't have, a genuine plot. Even without the sex this film is a real thriller. If you're easily offended fast forward through the flesh, the story is worth it. In banned after its release, this Bertolucci film Last Tango Paris-R-Original- starring Marlon Brando tells the story of a love affair between Brando and a young French girl. Pretentious sex caused a stir among the populace in 1972. Fatal Attraction-R-Th- e film that made men be true to their wives. Blessed with a stellar cast, this film is very intense, largely due to the performance of Glenn Close as she stalks Michael Douglas. There are some intense sex scenes too, but the film is good without them.
