Young and old, please respond. BEST romantic film ever.

[caledesi]

My choice Dr. Zhivago.

[boneygrey]

1. Maybe Casablanca n/t

[China_cat]

25. Seconded.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

48. thirded.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Breaking the Waves

Spiderman II
Casablanca

and some damned others that, though I sit here and think, my mind simply will not bring up for me.

[caledesi]

44. Breaking the Waves is one of my all-time favorite films.

It introduced me to Emily Watson, who is now my favorite actor.

Have you seen Hillary and Jackie? Do it now!

[Rabrrrrrr]

50. No, I haven't!

Breaking the Waves is one of the most heart-wrenchingly awful films to watch. My partner was really freaking out by the end of it, and was sad for days. I don't think there's a chance in hell she'll ever watch it again.

Really hit her on a personal note - she was terrified and sad to think of that happening to me. It also affected me on a deeply emotional level, too, but not quite as bad.

I think it's a movie that everyone should see. It's brilliant.

I have not seen Hillary and Jackie, but I'm going to amazon now!

[cry baby]

3. The Notebook or Sense and Sensibility

[NewHampshireDem]

4. Dirty Dancing

Hey, it worked for me. :evilgrin:

[enigmatic]

5. Betty Blue!

Awesome film..

[slor]

17. I agree!

The first 10 minutes are quite hot too!

[MichiganVote]

6. Breakfast at Tiffany's

[Southsideirish]

7. "Sexy Beast."

The love between "Gel" and "Dee Dee" was so powerful. No "I love you's" no passionate embraces yet that time he phoned her and ask her "just say my name" I felt a chill down my spine. She would kill to protect him and he, well, we know what he did for her. I could watch it 100 times and still want to see it again.

[toddzilla]

38. that was one of the wierdest movies i've ever seen..

when he peed all over the bathroom, i quit watching.. just couldn't get into it.

[toddzilla]

40. cousins

i know, i know, ted danson.

but a great movie, and i don't like movies like that at all.

[ET Awful]

8. There are too many good ones to just pick one . . from Roman Holiday

to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I couldn't just pick one :).

[immoderate]

9. "A Man and a Woman" (Un Homme et une Femme)

Saw it in Paris when it came out. I was a student.

One of the few movies I love that doesn't have a lot of kick boxing.

--IMM

[yellowdogintexas]

15. that is a winner, I haven't seen it in years but when I did see it

I was just overwhelmed

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. I think we can at least all agree - it sure as hell ain't "Love Story"

[boneygrey]

11. You got that right n/t

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

12. I can't name just one, but I could watch these over and over..

Doctor Zhivago
The Way We Were
An Officer and a Gentleman
Out of Africa
Casablanca
Gone With the Wind

[xmas74]

49. All of them are wonderful.

[hickman1937]

13. Terminator

Although the love scene was abbreviated, very romantic.
Woman of the Year
Jeffrey-Michael T. Weiss should have gotten a nomination.
The Goodbye Girl
The Kid
The love story between two kids on an old mini series on either showtime or hbo called Grand Avenue. The girl was named Justine. I don't recall the boy's name, but it was heartbreaking. I always thought that John Sayles got some ideas for Lone Star from this story.

[kariatari]

14. When Harry Met Sally...

[Az]

16. Pyromaniac's Love Story

Though its closely followed by The Road Home.

[Hardrada]

18. Elvira Madigan

Except they don't survive. Same with movie versions of Romeo and Juliet.








On edit: Oops, same with ALL versions of Romeo and Juliet.

[caledesi]

22. Mozart's Piano Concerto #21....Elvira Madigan

I LOVED this film.

[yellowdogintexas]

19. Victor, Victoria is a wonderful romantic comedy

I am trying to think of others not previously mentioned


OH
Roxanne w/Steve Martin
Splash

Joe vs the Volcano

Philadelphia Story
Bringing Up Baby

[Joe Chi Minh]

20. Jackie Brown.

Understated, but that's the magic for me. Both actors could speak eloquently just by their demeanour and facial expressions.

I also saw a film on the box about a governess and a young man whose wife was insane (medically). It might have been "Jane Ayre". I thought that was pretty good.

[Jack_Dawson]

21. TITANIC

Period. The End.

http://www.imdb.com/boxoffice/alltimegross?region=world-wide

[Goldmund]

53. That's a conflict of interest if I've ever seen one.

[Mz Pip]

23. An Affair to Remember

ranks up there.

"Somewhere in Time" is really romanitic, too. Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymore. Made me cry.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[biscodawg]

24. Harold and Maude nt

[charlyvi]

26. The Way We Were

Robert Redford, Barbra Streisand

[caledesi]

27. One of my favorites! nt

[arwalden]

28. 50 First Dates

[bigwillq]

29. Leaving Las Vegas

My type of a romantic movie.

[caledesi]

45. I LOVED this film. Bought the CD.

I kinda liked Nick Cage...but after this film, I fell in love w/ him. And Eliz. Shue....the best!

[bigwillq]

46. That film reminded me of a past relationship

My ex-b/f was a drunk and I did all I coudl to help him but he was a lost cause. He's still living but I haven't heard from him in awhile.

I just that it was so romantic that these two people who just met could have the relationship that they had, fucked up and all, but it was a realtionship and I believe a loving one.

[Ronnie]

30. Sleepless in Seattle

...

[erinlough]

31. How Green Was My Valley

Romantic in every sense. A great Oscar winner to re-watch.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

32. A Room With a View. An Affair to Remember. Notorious. Casablanca.

there are so many, it would take me all night to make a list! :-)

[d_b]

33. The Crow.

[DawgHouse]

37. Somewhere in Time

I know, lame.. but I still love it.

[Maine-ah]

41. Cold Mountain

:cry:

[tanyev]

42. A Little Romance. Young love, but very sweet.

Ooh, ooh, ooh! Edit to add Wings of Desire. The original German. The Nicolas Cage/Meg Ryan doesn't come close.

[CBHagman]

43. In no particular order...

Sense and Sensibility

The African Queen

To Have and Have Not

Amelie

Random Harvest

Marty

Wings of Desire

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

I'm sure I'll think of more.

[ignatius 2]

47. I love Dr. Zhivago. I can still hear the words from Laura's note to

him.".what joy,you are alive." A romantic story,well acted and a nice sense of history as well..my kind of movie.

[xmas74]

51. How about Love Story?

Sappy, predictable, but still makes you cry-everything a romantic movie should be.
