We see tons of films and get to discussing them from time to time and often wax nostalgic on films we would rather see made than what we’ve just witnessed. I’m a big fan of Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise and the sequel made a decade later Before Sunset. I’ve wondered why other great romances aren’t given a second look a few years down the line. The one I’d most like to see would be a sequel to my favorite Cameron Crowe film of all time about a kickboxer and princess…

1989’s Say Anything… remains one of my favorite films. The tale of opposites attracting has never been more memorable, more engaging, more fun, or more sweet.
I enjoyed Linklater reuniting Ethan Hawke and Julie Delphy’s characters from Before Sunrise to let us see those same characters years later in Before Sunset (read that review here). I would love to see Cameron Crowe do the same and reunite the kickboxing Lloyd with the brainy Diane.
What happened to those two young lovebirds when the plane touched down in London? Are they together or apart? Let these two reunite and bring all of us along for the ride! We’ve been smashed from all sides with recent ridiculous and horrific pseudo-romantic-comedies and I for one would like something a little more meaningful. I’ve been critical of Crowe’s last two films (Vanilla Sky and Elizabethtown) which lack the heart of these characters, but I wish he’d revisit these two and see where they would take us.
