"There is only one man who can heal the wounds of this land - Robin Hood."
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

OK - so this movie was not *exactly* true to the traditional adaptations of the story, but come on - it was still so *great* - as was the romance between Maid Marian and Robin of Locksley! There is nothing better than the tale of the knight who would 'die for' his love, and that is exactly this story.

"Is she worth it?"
"Worth dying for?" ~ a nod of Robin's head said it all...

I guess there are not too many people who have not heard of Robin Hood - the man who stole from the rich to give to the poor.

"I once heard a wise man say there are no perfect men. Only perfect intentions."

Through his travels he saves many people, gains revenge on those who deserve it - and falls deeply in love with Marian. In Prince of Thieves, the story is utterly romantic and so sweet. Put it with Brian Adams' "Everything I do (I do it for you)" and you have an absolute romantic classic.

"You came for me..."
"I would die for you."
"Husband - and Wife - you may kiss the bride."
"I *know* that!"

And so ended this legendary tale, and yet another wonderful job by Costner of playing the charming romantic lead!

(Everything I do) I do it for you - Bryan Adams
.
Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
*
Look into your heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
*
There's no love like your love
And no other could give more love
There's nowhere unless you're there
All the time - all the way
Oh you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - yeah I'd die for you
*
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
