Only You

Haha I know it makes me old-fashioned that I blog about music and movies from the 1990s.
But I like it okay! Hehe


Only You (1994)
Starring : Marisa Tomei, Robert Downey Jr, Bonnie Hunt, Billy Zane


It's a sweet valentine about a young woman, named Faith (Marisa Tomei, never cuter), who chases an unknown man to Europe just because the name "D-a-m-o-n B-r-a-d-l-e-y" was once spelled on an Ouija board as her true love/soulmate. With her sister-in-law (Bonnie Hunt, whose own marriage seems to be falling apart), she travels the streets of Venice & Rome looking for Damon Bradley.


And lo and behold, she literally runs into a man claiming to be Damon. Is this meant to be? Faith certainly thinks so. Robert Downey Jr. (also never cuter) plays Damon in a role that showcases his charms. He shows his quick wit in handing Faith's advances and his absolute devotion to her when the winds change. Despite the cuteness factor, this is a movie to fall in love with. Jewison and Sven Nykvist (Ingmar Bergman's cameraman) present a sun-kissed Italy so beautiful, you might be tempted to hop a plane immediately after viewing the movie.





3 Main Reasons why I like this movie :





1. I love Marisa Tomei [I also loved her in Untamed Heart (1993) with Christian Slater; I think she was very very pretty and now still gorgeous at 44, low-profiled, and really cute - she's like the 1990s fave actress like redhead Molly Ringwald].





2. I love Robert Downey Jr - always thought that he's hot (I ignore his drug problems in the past), and boy his eyes were really pretty in this movie. I also love his devotion to Marisa Tomei in this movie.
Now, at the age of 43, I still think he's hot. Find him sexy in the movie 'Ironman'.




3. The movie was set in breathtaking bellissima Venice & Rome. Everyone who knows me would know how crazy I am about Italy.
Makes me wanna fly to Italia now, after watching the movie.
