This man's answer to everything is a Julia Roberts movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →What TV shows or movies best exemplify simple living?. I'm not much of a media consumer, and when I am I find Youtube channels better exemplify the simple living lifestyle (plenty out of Japan). However, every once in a while I stumble upon characters or plots in mainstream media that resonate with my simple living values. Years ago, I truly enjoyed the film *Under the Tuscan Sun* (though the book was vastly different and superior). More recently, I have been enthralled with the television…

positive · AI labelView post →I always think of Under the Tuscan Sun when I hear Czeslaw Milosz. This is near the end of the film. In an earlier scene, the lit prof is on a ladder working on a chandelier and Lane sees the book and holds it to her and says "Czeslaw Milosz...I like him" Lit prof doesn't seem impressed...

negative · AI labelView post →I'm in the mood for a light Summer/Autumn destination romance movie with great landscapes, food a relaxing, refreshing vibe. Any recommendations? Think Under the Tuscan Sun and Letters To Juliet. #FilmSky #TVSky I currently have access to Netflix, Prime, Roku, Max, Paramount+. hoopla & Dir TV.

positive · AI labelView post →Not sure if I’ve seen just parts or whole movie, but Under the Tuscan Sun would be it for me here. How was The Annihilation of Fish? Not familiar with that.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of my favorite movies is Under The Tuscan Sun with Diane Lane. I became obsessed w/ the movie when I first moved to Los Angeles because I saw myself in Frances. I would love to move to Tuscany or Positano and get a home.
positive · AI labelView post →Weirdly obsessed with this because the Italian way to say "to give birth to" is "dare alla luce". Which I learned from the greatest movie ever, Under the Tuscan Sun.
neutral · AI labelView post →Good morning! This looks delightful. My movie for the day will be Under the Tuscan Sun - haven't watched it in quite a while. Hope everyone has a great day! 💙🌞

positive · AI labelView post →I *almost* want to rewatch it other than why would I do that to myself? lol Not that I’m some movie connoisseur like around the same time I was also getting Under the Tuscan Sun, Facing Windows, and Avenging Angelo from the library on DVD too 😹😅☠️
neutral · AI labelView post →rewatched Under The Tuscan Sun, on the second flight, and chat, my eyes were not dry for the entire movie 😂 the last time i watched it, i hadn’t been to italy, didn’t know any italian (now i could understand all of it!), and most of all, didn’t even know i was a woman very different experience
positive · AI labelView post →I suspect a lot of Americans think moving to another country will be just like the movie 'Under the Tuscan Sun.' You get to meet a lot of quirky, fascinating people who will welcome you and automatically love you and help you.
neutral · AI labelView post →— I am flipping over the mention of « Under The Tuscan Sun ». in some ways, interchangeable to watch with the sibling movie « Must Love Dogs ». both threaded by Diane and older lady with an online relationship with a young boy.

neutral · AI labelView post →I was embarrassed, but I traveled with Italians do maybe that had something to do with it. I have friends all over the country. If you watch the film, “Under the Tuscan Sun” with Diana Ladd it happens in the film and she has the same reaction o had, but they are happy when it happens (locals).

neutral · AI labelView post →Our first date was a walk in the park because we couldn't decide. We walked for hours. I felt safe enough to even go back to his spot after where we smoked cannabis and talked still, for many more hours. Our first date was like 6 hours long and cost nothing but a bit of gas for the drive. The spool of wire guy, is that the fella who's sitting outside reminiscing when he first bought that giant spool of wire and now it was gone? A very sweet, sentimental moment for thst guy. Not gonna lie,…

Also, FYI … it’s based on a non fiction book that you can check out at a local library. Frances took 4 summers renovating that villa.
positive · AI labelView post →Some planes had them on smaller screens throughout the cabin (like on a coach bus) and the worst seat was right underneath them—that one was too close, and the next one up was too far away. (Under the Tuscan Sun was the last movie I remember from this era.)
