The Most Romantic Movies of All Time?

You're all gonna laugh at this, but I think in circa 80's the most romantic film I've seen was
"Ghost" starring Patrick Swayze.
Haven't seen a really good one since.
I thought "Gone with the Wind" was corny, though.
Giant and East of Eden were probably better, but then, I was just a kid in shorts with "something-coming-out-of-the-nose" at the time.
Hope they come out with a remake of those two.

 

A romantic movie I really liked was Far and Away, with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
Another one was Green Card.

 

If you haven't seen "Remains of the Day" -- also with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson, and also Merchant-Ivory -- I heartily recommend watching it and "Howard's End" as a pair. (Though given the length of both films, you're probably better off viewing them on successive weekends.)

I saw Gone with the windy, CasaBlanca, and ....hmm. and It's a Wonderful life. I would hardly think the last one was romatinc. But yes on Casa Blanca.

I want to make my own list.

While you were sleeping
Bed of Roses
Spitfire grill
Sleepless in Seattle
You've Got Mail
Ever After
My Best Friends' wedding

 

Saggy, I love Spitfire Grill, I have that and watch it a lot. Another crying movie. I've just began to realize just how much I cry.

 

At the risk of being branded a heretic my top favorites are.

1. Pretty Woman - Julia Roberts/Richard Gere
2. Return to me - David Decovny/Mimi Driver
3. Sleepless in Seattle - Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan
4. Ghost - Patrick Swazey/Demi Moore
5. Dirty Dancing - Patrick Swazey/Jennifer Grey
6. Runnaway Bride - Julia Roberts/Richard Gere
7. Hope Floats (Gads Cant remember the leads)
8. Officer&a Gentleman - Richard Gere/Debra Winger
9. For Richer or Poorer - Tim Allen/Kirsty Alley
10. Beauty and the Beast - Belle/The Beast

Is there any other woman here who thinks that P. Swazey is absolutely the hunk of all hunks?

Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.

I had forgotten Somewhere in Time. I loved it I cried at the end when Christopher Reeves grieved himself to death trying to return to Jayne Seymore.

I know, its a chick thing. All men hate leading men in a chick flick.

Did you see Return to Me?? So cute. I loved Carroll O'Connor's role as Mimi Driver's grandfather. I think that maybe that was his last roll before he died. Anyone know for sure??

 

Hey I like Bill Murray.

Don't care for him myself.

 

Because none of us look like him.

Actually, I'm one of the few males who not only teared, but sobbed, at the end of Titanic. No one told me the ship was going to sink

Titanic is one of my favorite movies, until you get to the 1,375th consecutive viewing. Before that, it's good stuff.

I remember seeing it with my wife. Afterwards, she told me how special I was to her, how glad she was that I stumbled into her life, and that she'd never let go of me. Three years later she divorced me to shack up with an ex boyfriend. Ouch.

But I'm stull a hopeless romantic.

My favorite romantic film is Young Frankenstein.

 

I am seeing womans view of romantic here. There is also a romantic side to these movies.
Patton
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Little Big Man
The Great Waldo Pepper
Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid
Dances with Wolves

 

And boy am I glad too.

 

One of my favorites. And yes, very romantic.

 

I love Cary Grant! Any movie with Cary Grant is just wonderful! Arsenic and Old Lace, His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby, Operation Petticoat, North by Northwest, Houseboat, The Bishop's Wife, My Favorite Wife, The Awful Truth...did I mention I loved Cary Grant movies?
