Two movies that seem distinctly different on the outside won your hearts over to win Favorite Movie for 2016! While Love on the Sidelines appears to be a movie just about the game of football, it's not. There is so much more to it! It's the discovery of finding oneself and your purpose. It's finding love when you least expect it. And, it's about family, heritage, marriage, and how our job defines us, our how we decide to define ourselves!
*Starring in Love on the Sidelines are John Reardon, Emily Kinney, and Joe Theismann. See my page on Love on the Sidelines for more movie details!
Valentine Ever After, in the same way, is more than a simple Hallmark "Countdown to Valentine's Day" romance movie. There's comedy when two women find themselves stranded in the country, which is truly peaceful, beautiful countryside. There's drama when one of the women is missing and the Cowboy she is finding herself attracted to comes to her rescue... so Yes!, there is also a sweet romance, but only after deep soul searching!
*Starring in Valentine Ever After are Autumn Reeser, Eric Johnson, Vanessa Matsui, Jefferson Brown, and Damon Runyan. See my page on Valentine Ever After for more movie details!
Thank you, again, to Everyone who participated by voting in this First Poll for your Favorite TV Movie!
If you haven't seen both of these movies, or if you are interested, they are both available on DVD at Amazon: Love on the Sidelines and Valentine Ever After.
Be sure to come back to "It's a Wonderful Movie" tomorrow (March 22) for the list of Mystery Movie Nominees!
This is such a pleasant surprise! What's interesting is this is the first time in four years that two Hallmark movies have tied for the title! Definitely looking forward to the rest of the polls!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the results!
DeleteYes, you are so right! In 2013, both "How to Fall in Love" and "The Seven Year Hitch" tied for #1 movie! It was quite a surprise to see these two movies tie for the number one spot!
Interesting choices! Neither "Valentine Ever After" nor "Love On the Sidelines" is my preference for #1, but I really liked "Summer Villa."
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of surprised that "Tulips In Spring" ranked so high.
I am even more shocked that "Unleashing Mr. Darcy" didn't even crack the top 3! It's not one of my all-time favorites, but so many people say they love it. I was certain it would sweep the whole poll.
I was surprised to see where everything ranked, too, Sherry! It made me rethink some of my Christmas movie bracket choices on Hallmark's site. Meaning, what I thought for sure everyone would like and go for, may not be the case, after all.
DeleteI thought all of the top choices were good. I especially like "Tulips in Spring" and I was surprised "Stop the Wedding" (one of my favorites from the year!) didn't rank in the top three either!
"Unleashing Mr. Darcy" came in 4th place, very close behind "Summer Villa."
Sherry/Net, I agree with you both! Not that I didn't enjoy the top picks but "Summer Villa" and "Unleashing Mr. Darcy" were just so romantic and my two favorites for this year.
DeleteI like the movies that seem like little escapes, and/or have fantastic scenery (no matter which season it is!). I want to see more of those sorts of movies when Hallmark makes another round of Summer Nights installments this year.
DeleteEven though "Summer Villa" was filmed in Canada, they did a good job of making it seem like it really was the French countryside. It felt like a little vacation to me.
Yes so surprise to see Tulips in the Spring and Love on the sidelines beat out Wedding March Summer Villa and Unleashing Mr.Darcy but not surprised about Valentine's Ever After got top spot
DeleteWhat a great result - can't believe it.
ReplyDeleteI'd posted a bit earlier in the Poll Thread that my choice would be very close between the two winners although tbh I expected that The Wedding March would win.
Tulips In Spring would also have been my 3rd choice - it's a lovely heartwarming movie with a strong storyline and Lucas Bryant makes me go weak at the knees! although I commented before that I think it could have been even better had they had a bit more friction between Rose and Tom.
I can't say though that Summer Villa was one of my favourites.
Oh, so glad you enjoyed the results! I'm so happy to hear how much you also love "Tulips in Spring!" The movies that tied for first place "Love on the Sidelines" and "Valentine Ever After" are great, but I also have a soft spot for "Tulips!"
DeleteAll around, all of these top movies have terrific casting... John Reardon, Emily Kinney, Autumn Reeser, Eric Johnson, Fiona Gubelmann, Lucas Bryant, Hilarie Burton, and Victor Webster!!!
So happy with the results....these are the very movies I was voting for and apparently a lot of others as well! Can't wait to see the list tomorrow for favorite HMM.
ReplyDeleteAwe, Joyce... I'm so happy to hear you're happy with the results! I hope you'll also be happy over tomorrow's Mystery Movie nominees!!! :)
DeleteThank you bunches for sharing!!!
LOVE Valentine Ever After! So glad it's a winner!!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! Not what I would have predicted. I voted for 6 of the 12 nominees, including the #1 and #3 choices. I'm a bit surprised that "Tulips in Spring" was so high, as it didn't impress me as one of the year's best. I'm going to have to watch it again. My personal picks for top three would be (#1) "Stop the Wedding" (really surprised that didn't make the top three), (#2) "Summer Villa," and (#3) "Love on the Sidelines."
ReplyDeleteI love and voted both of the movies! sooo so pleased with the result!
