Summary: An excellent movie!
Review: I really loved "An Affair to Remember" from the first time I saw it, but each time I see it again I like it more. It doesn't rank as high on my list as 2001, Dr. Strangelove, Citizen Kane, etc. but is great for just chilling out with a good romance movie. It is my favorite of all 3 versions of this story, and the other two were also pretty good. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr are a wonderful pair here!

Summary: Overrated Tearjerker
Review: The first part aboard the boat seems convenient & affected. The bit where she takes him to meet her relative is charming and pretty but pointless. The accident and her subsequent behavior bespeaks of underlying insecurities and purhaps subconcious concerns about his character. I didn't feel particularly sympathetic toward either character and, thus, the reunion doesn't touch me.

Summary: This is how lovers ought to feel
Review: I love "An Affair to Remember" for many reasons. Most of all, I rate it right after "Casablanca" on my list of favorite films because it too deals honestly and in a heart-felt way about people and what they often feel for each other: simple yet passionate love. Nicky Ferrante and Terry McKay cannot really live without each other---now, that's how people who say that they're in love ought to feel, not in the mediocre or middling manner that one often sees in couples in the present. And Cary Grant, he's definitely "da man"---all we fellas out here can only hope to be so gracious, cool, and yet humbly self-aware as this guy. I have always watched Cary Grant for clues about personal deportment, appearance and dress, and how to treat those with whom I cross paths. Not that Deborah Kerr is a slouch---she is as feminine as I like (i.e., Audrey Hepburn), not to mention lively, lovely, and strong. "An Affair to Remember" has the kind of chemistry that all of our romances should have (if only we guys could all be like Cary Grant, we'd have it made)!

Summary: One of my favourite movies
Review: While I haven't seen the remake of this film, I have seen the original, and this is by far one of my favourite movies ever. The picture is beautiful, the casting is flawless, and the story timeless. I would recommend this for chick-flick lovers and even those who aren't particularly fond of romantic-comedies.

Summary: Does romance really take this long?
Review: As a lover of classic films I find myself frustrated by the recent popularity of such a mediocre movie when there are so many much-better films out there. I think it may be its reference in "Sleepless in Seattle", another good but overrated film, that has made this one so popular today and even though the 1939 version, "Love Affair" (also directed by Leo McCarey)is considerably better, people, in this actor-obsessed age in which we live in, are drawn to this one because it has Cary Grant in it. Unfortunately this version has no soul to it and the two main actors have almost no chemistry between them. I would find myself nodding off from time to time if it weren't for the nice scenery and excellent story because the actors themselves seem to be sleepwalking through the story. In fact, even the 1994 version, "Love Affair" is better than this. I do like Cary Grant and I want to like this movie more but I cannot in good conscience rate it any higher than this. I wish people would try out the superior 1939 version instead, but I realize that that is unlikely to happen. I don't want to beat up on this version too much. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr are still good actors and they do a fine job here. I just think that it is a mistake for so many to make a bee-line for this one film in the classics section of the video store and pass over so many other great movies. For many, this is one of the only classic movies that they ever see and it is a poor example to them of the quality of the films from that age.

Summary: They don't make 'em like they used to!
Review: The times may be different, but this movie is just as remarkable as ever. An Affair to Remember is definitely a classic. I could never resist a Cary Grant movie anyway, but this one is especially good. The shipboard romance is not only sweet, but humorous. (I always laugh out loud as they try, in vain, to avoid being seen together.) Then, as Nicky and Terry disembark for the real world, with a promise to meet up if everything goes well, you root for them. And, as the the proper time comes, you can't felt but sit there anxiously and wonder if they'll both make it, no matter how many times you've seen the movie!An absolute classic in the rarest form, this is one movie of which Hollywood can be proud. Palpable chemistry, bittersweet obstacles, and the obligatory tears make this a perfect cimena masterpiece.

Summary: A Great Story, but not the best of the classics
Review: I give this movie 5 stars for the story (it is wonderful) but I had to deduct 1 star because the movie is just a little bit on the dull side. Most of the scenes just involve the 2 lead characters talking to each other... not much action or comedy. This made the movie drag a bit. However, the story line is very romantic although it didn't seem entirely realistic that they both fell so madly in love with each other. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr just don't seem like a couple (at least in this movie). Also, I think this movie is not just for the (slightly) older generation. I am a 22-year-old college student and really liked it... so don't be afraid to buy it just because it's a classic. The movie is in color and the DVD did have some unique extra features... for example the trailer is there... pretty funny how different trailers are today than they were back then.
