two of my favorite movies. i highly recommend them.

BEFORE SUNRISE (1995): When a young American Jesse (Ethan Hawke) traveling through Europe by train meets a beautiful French student Celine (Julie Delpy), he convinces her to spend the day with him in Vienna so the two can get to know each other better. They spend their day exploring the city and before they know it, they find themselves falling in love. Richard Linklater's romantic daydream is a warm and witty comedy that uses the beautiful streets of Vienna as a perfect backdrop for the characters' youthful, budding romance.

BEFORE SUNSET (2004): This film picks up where the previous film left off. In Paris promoting a novel he has written about their one perfect night together, Jesse is dumbfounded when Celine shows up at his last bookstore interview. With just a few hours remaining before his flight back to the States, Jesse and Celine meander through Paris, returning in no time at all to their playful banter, flirtation, and intense conversations about life, love, and the state of the world. Are these thirty somethings really soul mates, or ships destined to keep passing in the night?
