New On DVD: Closing the Ring (Plus a Giveaway!)
January 8, 2009 by Caryn
This giveaway is now closed! Thanks for stopping by. The winners are Thomas Semesky, Jaque, Samantha Pruitt, Ed Nemmers, and Pat Connors. Congratulations! 
I am a true romantic at heart. Some of my favorite movies include the classics like Gone With the Wind and Breakfast at Tiffanys. I know I introduce you to a ton of baby and kid products but today, I have something for you moms! When your little one is asleep or at grandmas, grab a cup of tea and sit down to Closing the Ring. Starring Academy Award winner Shirley MacLaine, Golden Globe nominee Christopher Plummer, Mischa Barton, Gregory Smith and Neve Campbell and directed by two-time Academy Award winner Richard Attenborough, Closing the Ring is a moving love story you don’t want to miss.
Here is a little more about the movie:
Closing the Ring is an inspirational romance that alternates between eras and continents. An adventurous Irishman goes on a quest to find the original owner of a gold ring that once belonged to an American World War II bomber pilot.
During World War II, more than 300,000 American military personal passed through or were based in Northern Ireland. On June 1, 1944, ten of these young American servicemen died when their B-17 bomber lost its bearings in heavy fog and crashed into Belfast’s Cave Hill. Over fifty years later, a news item about a discovery at the crash site of one airman’s wedding ring struck a chord in writer Peter Woodward, son of the actor Edward Woodward, inspiring him to write Closing the Ring. Richard Attenborough calls it ‘unequivocally one of the most exciting, most original, most authentic first screenplays I’ve ever read.’

Hi! Want a cookie?
My favorite romantic movie of all time is “Bridges of Madison County”. Something about it I just love. I think it’s how you can see how Meryl Streep’s character really feels, and how she is torn.

Thanks for doing this review. I’d actually never heard of the movie prior to this post, but now I’m interested. The cast looks fantastic and the story looks intriguing. Is it playing in the US too…or just in the UK?
My favorite romantic films are probably Anne of Green Gables (#1), Pride & Prejudice, A Walk to Remember, Fools Rush In, Enchanted, One Fine Day, Just Like Heaven, High School Musical, and 13 Going on 30.

I know it is not really a romance film but my favorite movie that involves a love story is Titanic. I can watch it over and over again and not get sick of it. I also really enjoy Sleepless in Seattle as well since I just adore Meg Ryan. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win since the movie you are giving away on DVD sounds great. Thanks for the opportunity.
without a doubt….. The Notebook
My favorite love story of all time is What Dreams May Come starring Robin Williams. After seeing it numerous times it still makes me cry.
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful giveaway.

I just loved Titanic. Thanks for the chance to win.
This may be a little offbeat because there are so many great romance movies, but Wall-E is a romance between robots and is a sweet movie. Love Story, Sleepless in Seattle, and Snow White come to mind too. Thanks for the giveaway.

My favorite is Ghost.
The Postman Always Rings Twice
