What in your opinion is the best romantic movie of all time?

[Lindsey]

For me it''s the "Note Book".

[Orrex]

1. Bad Lieutenant

[Ikonoklast]

2. Planet Terror.

Real heart-breaker.

I laughed, I cried, I finally realized what shooting zombies was all about.

[Lindsey]

4. LOL! Where are the women - Oh, that's right, they're at the Black

Friday sales - California Peggy, where are you when I need you?

[mitchum]

3. Lady and the Tramp (and I generally hate Disney product)

[Missy Vixen]

5. Gone With The Wind

Other favorites:

Dr. Zhivago
Sleepless in Seattle
Love Actually
While You Were Sleeping
The Princess Bride ("is there kissing in this movie?" LOL!)

Of course, there are hundreds more, and I'll have to give this some thought...

6. Casablanca n/t

[MorningGlow]

7. An Affair to Remember

It's absolutely AWFUL, but I can't resist Cary Grant at his finest. :9 And I like Deborah Kerr's snark in the first half of the movie.

22. That one always makes me cry! nt

[Amerigo Vespucci]

8. "Serendipity."

:toast:

[CTyankee]

9. "Out of Africa." Streep and Redford, wow. And when he takes her up in the plane

it is sheer joy. But when he returns to her after an absence is the best part. God, that love scene was beautiful!

10. Hard to pick just 1. An oldie, maybe obscure, "Random Harvest" with Greer Garson and Ronald Colman.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035238/

She is before my time, but I think that Greer Garson was classically beautiful. This movie is a tearjerker though.

I do like the Meg Ryan romantic comedies, also "Serendipity" with John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale was good also.

11. The Lake House nt

[Lindsey]

12. There are so many I have to add..

Wuthering Heights and An Affair to Remember.

[applegrove]

13. An Officer and a Gentleman

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. John Carpenter's The Thing. Or maybe Alien. Tough to choose.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

15. Best tragic romantic of all time: Romeo and Juliet

I watched the PBS version of it as a 10 year old. I cried for days. I'm visiting Juliet's grave next month.

[Serial Mom]

16. My Man Godfrey

Great story, great costumes/dresses, great lines, great actors!

[imdjh]

17. Ghost if you're in a happy mood, otherwise Brideshead Revisited if you are suicidal.

[hippywife]

18. Still the same response as usual.

Enchanted Cottage 1925 starring Dorothy McGuire and Robert Young

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037671/plotsummary

The lonely woman was obviously not attractive -- neither to the battle-scarred man -- nor to the audience. He, burned and scarred, was practically repulsive looking to everyone, including the audience. Once their characters began honestly interacting, however, the audience was allowed to begin to accept them as real, humble, and friendly people -- like themselves. Then, the clever director had the make-up crew begin to -- ever so slowly, practically imperceptively -- soften their features, making their formerly perceived homeliness/ugliness more and more transparent. Thus, as the characters began to fall more in love and began to see the other as the person they had so long sought after, so too, did the audience! Then the characters' true beauty became so apparent, so much as what each would have wanted the other to be, that we, audience and players alike, saw them as the most handsome people we had beheld -- in a moment to remember -- as I have these 61 years since I saw the film. I believe it is one of the most magic 'happenings' on film I've ever witnessed. It's so good to be able to recall that moment so vividly, it 'happened again!

19. Mine

Beauty and the Beast (Either Disney or Cocteau)

[azmouse]

20. While You Were Sleeping

Or Sleepless in Seattle

[valerief]

21. 'All That Heaven Allows' or any other Douglas Sirk movie.

Lush melodrama! Bring on the strings!
