The Notebook
Nicholas Sparks’ love story is translated to film via the powerful
performances of Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. It is truly a love story for the ages, as the
audience gets to see the couple in nearly part of their life, experiencing
every part of their lives with them.
Pretty Woman
A modern day prince and princess tale, millionaire Richard Gere picks Julia Roberts up from the street, literally. While things don’t always go smoothly, the
two fall in love and both are forever changed because of it.
Gone With the Wind
What more can be said about possibly the most iconic romantic
film? We’ve all seen it – and we love
it.
The Wedding Singer
Adam Sandler isn’t known for being a romantic, but this romantic
comedy set in the ‘80s is as much about loving as it is about laughing. Sandler and Barrymore are a great team, and
the ‘80s references are always on point.
There are numerous sweet moments in the film, but none as grand as the
ending scene featuring Billy Idol, an airplane, and a brilliant original song
sung by the Wedding Singer himself.
Dirty Dancing
It is sad that movies these days rarely feature songs sung
by the lead actor, because Patrick Swayze’s “She’s Like the Wind” is one of the
best parts of this movie. The movie
itself, a torrid romance between two people who everyone would like to keep
apart, is a staple in both ‘80s fashion and dancing.
Titanic
Celine Dion’s epic Titanic theme made our Most Romantic Songs list, so it’s only natural that the movie should make it as well. The creators of Titanic took the well known
event of this sinking ship and crafted it into a beautiful love story. While the ending is bittersweet, the film as
a whole is one of the greatest romances we’ve seen.
You've Got Mail
Ah, online romance, it is so popular now but in 1998 it was
a new thing and You’ve Got Mail was the film to take it to the mainstream. The success of AOL, and Tom Hanks and Meg
Ryan together again, made this movie an instant tearjerker as well as a warning
that you never know when your online crush may be the person you think you
dislike the most.
Love, Actually
British humor, a superstar cast, and numerous meaningful
love stories make Love, Actually one of the more interesting romantic films on
our list. It also has another big thing
going for it – Christmas. The movie
looks at love in a way that is both more humorous – and more serious – than the
other films on our list, and it deserves a place for pulling it off well.
10 Things I Hate About You
There had to be one high school romance on the list, and 10
Things I Hate About You is that movie.
Charming, funny, and a great illustration of high school life, this
movie brings shows that sometimes the worst of situations can turn out just
fine.
When Harry Met Sally
Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal seems like a pretty bad match in
real life, and through much of this classic film it appears to be that way in
the movie too. However, the two end up
bonding over their differences and find love in some of the most iconic romance
scenes of all time.
