"A searchable list of movies and TV shows that were based on
works of fiction, and as much detail about the source material as we
can find. To provide the depth we wanted, we have had to narrow
the breadth of focus, so we only deal with SF, fantasy, and horror
movies. Searching can be done across all three sections, or only on
those selected." Romance & the Movies
"Laurie Likes Books was in contact with author Laura Hayden (aka
Laura Kenner), who has been involved with Romance Classics and AMC.
They discussed the odd phenomenon that overtakes critics and the
powers that be in the movie industry whenever a romantic movie is
successful, and what the future holds for romance at the movies."
