Esquire has an appreciation for Bram Stoker's Dracula ... during which, it seems, Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder may have been for-real married (not in this story - I've seen it elsewhere).
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Because books.
I'm fond of that movie, even though it's a big mess. :-) It's such gorgeous, bombastic eye candy.
I don't see how they can be for-real married if their own names weren't said, but that's a fun story.

It'd be a great excuse to get rid of pestery people. "Oh, I don't date, I accidentally got legally married during a movie shoot, and it's so complicated to get undone that I don't want to make it worse."

It sounds like the premise for a Hallmark movie.

"We were in a movie and they brought in an actual priest and he performed the actual marriage ceremony so we're actual-married ... and maybe we actually love each other ...."?

Complete with outrage from the previous high-profile girl/boyfriends of the couple.

he he ... does anyone know of the movie "Once More With Feeling" - a romantic comedy starring Yul Brynner (!) and Kay Kendall. He's a famous conductor, she's his wife but when she says she wants a divorce he reminds her they aren't actually married. Hijinks ensue.

That sounds familiar, Toddson, but I can't decide if I saw it. [link]
Your post reminded me of the Cary Grant/Irene Dunne movie, My Favorite Wife. She's been presumed dead for seven years, and then on the eve of his remarriage, she returns, and he learns she's just spent seven years on an island with a handsome stranger.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Randolph Scott played the handsome stranger in My Favorite Wife. Which was remade in the early '60s as Move Over Darling, with Doris Day and James Garner.
Trivia -- the remake was originally intended as a Marilyn Monroe vehicle titled Something's Got to Give. Some filming was done (I've seen footage of a scene with Monroe in a swimming pool.), but it was never completed because Monroe was fired and then died not long after.

A friend of mine once called it "Van Helsing and the Three Stooges vs. Dracula" and I've thought of it that way ever since. But, yeah, it's a lot of fun and full of pretty.
