DoYouRemember.com The site that takes you back! LOVE STORY (1970) ❤️ THEN AND NOW 2022 doyouremember.com/ / doyouremember / doyouremember #movies #lovestory #2022
Yes, It is one of the best films of all time. I worked in a movie theater in the "70, and I saw a lot of films. Only a few of the films nominated for awards I felt deserved them. Love Story was one of them. I fell in love with the character that Ali played, not Ali, but she did such an amazing job that I felt she deserved the Oscar.
1. “Everyone of us gets to find our way, hopefully surrounded by love, but we still have to pick out our own way through the land mines of life. By excepting this and relinquishing control, there’s just extraordinary beauty.” - Ali MacGraw 2. I like a lot Ali’s fashion of the 60s and 70s.
Not only it broke all kinds of box office records at the time ….but even the simplicity of the hair- style and looks of Ali McGraw became most fashionable and among thousands of women her age…..
“Love Story” came out when I was a hormonal teenager & I wept buckets over the book &the movie! The only movie I can think of on the spit, as it were, that made me cry was “The Deer Hunter,” which I found devastating & which led me to “Platoon” also awesome, but made me angry, not tearful, then to the work of pure genius, “ Apocalypse Now,” after seeing this movie I went back the night after, my family all swear that I hardly spoke for days. I mean, Brando reading TS Eliot, the surfing through the smell of napalm & Robert Duvall’s hardass performance, plus the mental journeys the characters went through, the music- it’s one of the only ten dvds I own. It still makes me cry. Oh, just remembered “One flew over the cuckoo’s nest.” I refused to see the movie for 5 yrs, because I though it would ruin the book for me. It didn’t, each is a work of genius in it’s own right, they both make me cry, too!
I was a toddler in 1970. So I didn’t see it then. But in the early 1990’s I went thru a seventies movie craze. I rented as many as I could find. Love Story, Apocalypse Now, One flew over the Cuckoos nest, Deliverance, Deer Hunter, Close Encounters, Scarface, GodFather, Taxi Driver and more then I want to write. My husband was in the Army and he was deployed for Desert Storm. We had 3 little kids. And I had time to in the evenings to watch movies without the kids up to see stuff they shouldn’t . It was a great because I could do chores while I watched movies.
I loved the film from the very beginning and I proved it by watching it 11 straight times. That's right, I went to my local theater and stayed ALL DAY. Watching it 6 straight times. Then, I went home and came back the next day and watched it 5 straight times. I bet nobody has ever done that before? I memorized it ALL. Loved Ali McGraw.
I saw Love Story years after it was originally released. It was in the .99 cent rake at the video store. As I stood in line to check out my movies. The lady ahead of me said I hope you’ve got a full box of tissues. Then the employee who checked me out said the same thing. After I got home I called my Mom and asked if it was really as sad as they made it sound. And she said YES it is. So of course I popped it in to the VCR. Oh my God I cried so hard. My husband came walking in after work as I was sobbing my eyes out. He was concerned and asked WHAT HAPPENED DID SOMEONE DIE??? All I could do was hold up the movie box. And he said nope I won’t watch it Noooo way. Lol
I loved it, and still like to watch it from time to time. The dialogues at the beginning, when they were still students are just great. I did watch the sequel "Oliver's Story", and although it wasn't up to the first one, I think it was necessary, specially because of Oliver's reconciliation with his father.
There’s a documentary in The Godfather trilogy on Blu-Ray/4K called ‘The Godfather: The Masterpiece that Almost Wasn’t’ with some vintage film of Paramount Pictures producer Robert Evans in the early 1970’s promoting The Godfather and Love Story as the two Paramount films that would save Cinema and films in general, It was thought at this time in Hollywood by a lot of people that movies just weren’t bringing in box office returns like they used to and that they were about to die out and that Television would be replacing them. Myself I haven’t seen Love Story yet but have seen The Godfather of course.
Ali McGraw was married to Paramount chief Robert Evans when THE GODFATHER came out and was already cheating on him with Steve McQueen, who cheated on her during their marriage. All Hollywood knew about this, and Mick Jagger even worked into the Rolling Stones song "Star, Star": "Ali McGraw got mad at you, for giving head to Steve McQueen."
I just watched this movie 2 days ago after probably 30 years. What perfect timing for this video. I was between 12 and 13 when it came out and saw it many times. It was a real tear jerker and I cried right along with everyone else. Watching it the other day brought me back to a time in my life of great memories. It was heartwarming for me. Sure I shed a tear at the end but it was different. The music alone would make you cry. Outstanding. I love the ending in What’s Up Doc where Barbara Streisand bats her eyelashes at Ryan O’Neal and says Love means never having to say you’re sorry. And his character says, That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard! Classic! All in all Love Story really made its mark. I did watch Oliver’s Story when it came out but don’t remember too much about it. That snow was fake???
The snow was real. They were planning to film that day, but had to defer because of the snow. Still, they decided they could film a few scenes with them frolicking in the snow.
Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification! I couldn’t imagine it being fake, lol. I grew up outside of Boston. Spent plenty of time in Harvard Square in those days.
7:50 At last, a beautiful older woman who hasn't turned herself into a Muppet! Naturally gorgeous, then and now. I remember in her heyday she was famous for wearing very little makeup. Women who mess with their faces end up not looking young, but bizarre. You can IMMMEDIATELY tell they have had work done.
Yes. I saw Love Story when it was first released in 1970. I have since seen it many times after 1970. It's just one of those movies I have to see every few years, or so. I also saw Oliver's Story a few years after its initial release and wish I never saw it. It was terrible.
I saw this movie twice in Hong Kong while on R&R from Vietnam. Once in English with Chinese subtitles and then in Chinese with English subtitles. As I recall I liked the latter better. p.s. I haven't seen it since.
For years I'd borrow the key to the music room from our band director in high school. Each time he came in the band room I'd play 'Love Story' or the song from Romero/Juilet. One day he and my music/harmony teacher walked in the band room and they'd hear one of the two songs above played on the piano. The band director said : " You've been borrowing my band keys for three years and only learned one song?" Fun & sad times like remembering 'Love Story'. In life there are always beginnings and endings....Don't get too sad because for every sad "goodbye", ...theres a chance for a NEW "HELLO". I've seen the 1st one many times, and saw the second one, don't know if I watched the whole movie and don't remember anything about it...I was too busy being in the U.S. Army.
10 things to quit for all Strong Men: 1. Caring about what others think 2. Not believing in yourself 3. Not experimenting different ideas / solutions for problems (life&business) 4. Not prioritizing your health 5. Wasting your precious time 6. Wanting something (instead write a plan and work towards it) 7. Chasing meaningless relationships 8. Wasting or draining your energy from beating your meat 🥩 9. Wasting time by scrolling social media 10. Nailbiting/nailpicking habit for good (if you do it - consider stopping it as it makes you mentally weak + affects your confidence and all other areas of your life!) Take it easy and I hope you found one thing helpful in this list.
@@samanthab1923 Steve McQueen was a male chauvinist. He believed that a woman's place was in the kitchen and the bedroom. Steve McQueen eventually cheated on Ali McGraw. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Somehow this one hasn't rerun on TV enough times for me to get bits and pieces of it until I've seen the whole thing like The Graduate!! I don't know - I used to like Ryan O'Neal more until his life has been getting told over the years and I can't really stand the person he seems to be outside of movies and television! Celebrity status seems to have kept HIM out of jail to mirror his own harsh remark!
The movie title escapes me and its existence is not acknowledged here, but a very rough minuscule synopsis is that the movie is absent of any dialogue, but as best as my geriatric brain can recall, the lead character is an introverted spy or agent who has a hot blonde neighbour iiving in an adjacent apartment. The final scene is when the male lead - Malan, is seen along side a freighter moored at a pier somewhere.
It doesn't look as though this group of people who were in the movie didn't really have a bad life!!!? Compared with the other stars of the other videos I've seen on my this show!!!!!??? Just saying ya'll!!?? God bless you all today 🙏 Shalom
Not as experience as He thought A good horse person all checks the cinch before he gets on Lose cinch only reason saddle will come lose Been riding since I was 3 that makes 70 yr I have never gotten on a horse with a saddle on with out checking that cinch But have done a lot of bare back riding as kid and even now will ride my old stallion Bill bare back He is now 27 yr old and wont even brake a fast trot any more But still giving me beautiful foals
Perfect casting for Love Story. They had fantastic chemistry together and he looked truly in love with her. It was the way he looked at her.
Yes, It is one of the best films of all time. I worked in a movie theater in the "70, and I saw a lot of films. Only a few of the films nominated for awards I felt deserved them. Love Story was one of them. I fell in love with the character that Ali played, not Ali, but she did such an amazing job that I felt she deserved the Oscar.
Saw it in the theater at its peak in February 1971. Great film.
I remember this flick well, it still holds up after 52 years, and Ali and Ryan had wonderful chemistry.
Truth Indeed
I saw this movie in the 70s and bawled my eyes out
The Way we were with Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford was another tearjerker movie that had everyone crying. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

The Christmas film of 1970. The Film of My (BABY) BOOMER Generation; absolutely the most beautiful and stunning LOVE STORY ever made!!!
Such a great movie. Beautifully done and a definite tear jerker.
I'll never forget how much i cried. No matter how many times i watched it i keep crying every
time i watch it again.
I love loved this movie.
Not only it broke all kinds of box office records at the time ….but even the simplicity of the hair- style and looks of Ali McGraw became most fashionable and among thousands of women her age…..
Yes it does and I watch the second movie also. They hold a sweet memory in my mind when movies were worth watching.
Yes, I cried my eyes out and, yes, I did see Oliver's Story.
Oliver's story was not as good as Love story. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 I agree.
@@MrHeadbanger366 movie sequels are never as good as the original. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 I think The Godfather Part 2 was the exception.
@@MrHeadbanger366 I have to admit that the terminator and its sequel was quite 👍. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
They had great chemistry & much more?!?🤔

Love this movie, modern but different version is the “Notebook” both touch your heart and soul!
One of the two sad yet most beautiful movies still haunting my memories after 50 something years. (The other is Doctor Zhivago)
RIP lover.
Love this movie, got it from Amazon
At 83, Ali McGraw is still gorgeous! I hope I look that good if I am still around at 83!

The movie doesn’t age well imo but it made Ryan a superstar.
IMO this movie is why my name was the most popular girl name of the entire decade…Jennifer ❤️❤️❤️
