Old Fashioned Romantic movies

What happened to the old fashioned romantic movies? You know, the ones where about half way through the movie they know that they like each other but they won't ever admit it. The one where all you really want them to do is have their first kiss and you are rooting for them. Then when they have their first kiss it's like magic. The guy is a complete gentlemen and the woman is a lady. The kiss and smile at each other and it's a happy ever after ending to the movie.

Movies now hardly leave anything to the imagination. I don't know about you guys, but I do know this. Your imagination is a powerful tool. Things are so much better/intense when they leave it to your imagination. That's why I think reading horror novels are ten times scarier than seeing a horror film. Because you take the time to invest in your imagination to let it ponder and think.

Why do you think Inception was so awesome? Not only was the acting AMAZING, but the ending of the movie left everything to the imagination and you could interpret how you wanted the movie to end. You made your own ending. You made your own movie. It's like you got to have a say in how the movie ended. You discussed it with your friends and you invested time into it. We tend to love things we invest our own time into, because if we hate it then somehow it wasn't worth it and that means we wasted our time from the very beginning.

I love old fashioned movies. I wish it was more like that instead of movies like Saw showing the brutal details, where the only reason people see the movie is to watch the gore and because they've invested time in all the other movies they continue to watch the series. I want it to go back to being creative and letting us decide how it ends.
