R15 - I want to cuddle on a couch with you and watch movies all weekend.

The Sting.

I imagine at the end when they're walking off together, they found a little B&B, fucked for days, then bought the place and lived out their days together. So romantic!

Samuel West walking through the countryside in Howards End is high camp, beautifully shot, and achingly romantic.

[quote]Morocco (1930)...Anna Christie (1930)...Camille (1936)

I couldn't agree more with these titles. Garbo films are always romantic but Anna Christie and certainly Camille epitomizes the romance genre.

The ending to Morocco is one of the greatest ever filmed

Am I the only one who knows about "Camille" from watching "Annie"?

History is Made at Night.

I just watched Destry Rides Again, again. Dietrich didn't get a chance to fall in love with Jimmy Stewart but the ending is highly romantic. Dietrich wasn't exactly warm about romance but if someone wrote a good part she could break your heat.

Wow...I could not be more different than R15. I have seen every movie on that list except "Morocco" and would only consider two films ("Camille" and "Brief Encounter") on that list romantic. "Sunset Boulevard"? "Howard's End"? Really? OK, here are some of mine. Flame away:

Sleeping Beauty (the animated one)

The English Patient

The Horseman On The Roof

A Room With A View

Beautiful Thing

The Princess Bride

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

Cinderella (the recent one with Cate Blanchett)

And, it's not a movie but was a BBC miniseries. But if you like romance and haven't seen "North & South" with Richard Armitage...WATCH IT NOW!

So sorry I formatted it wrong^^^

Trick

Not necessarily a romantic film - but always thought the George and Mary romance in a Wonderful Life was strong and helped carry the movie.

The ending of Notorious was romantic -- and the leads had great chemistry, but Bergman and Grant's characters relationship was pretty dysfunctional, so probably not on the list.

Whore

Somewhere In Time (that's the Christopher Reeve/Jane Seymour movie, right?)

Somewhere in Time - good memory. The theme was big for awhile -- I think All My Children used it for Jeremy and Erica back in the day...

Sabrina

The Clock

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (someone else mentioned it but it deserves another mention)

Beauty and the Beast

Quiet Man

Roman Holiday -- although kind of a fairy tale without the fairy tale ending.

No Helen Hunt movies? Or Meg Ryan? For shame!

Letter From an Unknown Woman (1948) with Louis Jourdan and Joan Fontaine...romantic and heartbreaking.

Thanks for mentioning that about It's A Wonderful Life r52. The movie wouldn't be as great without the George and Mary "romance".

Many of the ones mentioned I love, but for the most romantic, I would have to go with "Enchanted April". (The newer one with Michael Kitchen, Polly Walker, etc.)

When asked about his favorite love scene, Marcello Mastroianni said he loved it when Mickey kissed Minnie and all the little hearts appeared.

The Apartment

Sunset Boulevard is romantic but perverted romance.

Norma is cray but she falls in love with cray and her doomed love, pursuit, and seducing of Joe is the primary narrative. Max is a slave-lover of Norma, extremely perverted story there. Joe and Betty supposedly fall in love. I think Betty is in love but Joe is only somewhat, He's actually pretty torn between Betty and Norma and keeps hedging towards Norma, fatally. The New Years Eve party scene is wonderfully nuanced.

I think its a gay cult film because gays so often find themselves in twisted love stories.

Norma is cray but she falls in love with JOE.....

Hetero- Elvira Madigan (1967) Homo- Being at Home with Claude (1993)

Wild at Heart. I loved it when it came out. I am afraid to watch it again, it is very likely that it hasn't aged well. But Sailor really loved Lula.

The Clock with Judy Garland.

Shadowlands

"Remember the Night" with Barbara Stanwyck, and Fred MacMurray. Mitchell Leisen directing the Preston Sturges screenplay. Truly a perfect romance and both funny and moving.

OK. Some of you are truly crazy. "Sunset Boulevard" is not a romantic film. Yes, I know that Norma Desmond loves Joe. Big fucking deal. That doesn't make it romantic. Joe never loves her. She kills him. Where's the fucking romance?

Where's the thread about deal breakers for a guy? Someone thinking "Sunset Boulevard" is romantic is a deal breaker. They think obsession/possession and love are the same thing. Run the fuck away before you end up face down in a fucking pool.

Portrait of Jennie from 1948 is one of the most romantic and strange films ever. The photography is amazing. Especially the storm at the end by a lighthouse and the screen turns to green

Tattoo

My homemade porn.

“An Affair to Remember” (1957).

“Don’t cry, darling. If you can paint, I can walk! Anything’s possible!”

Yes. But of course. The non-consensual classic Tattoo.

The slow build that precedes Ennis and Jack being reunited after 4 years.... and the bone crushing hug Ennis gives Jack followed by their attempts to devour each other with kisses. this may not be what the OP meant about a film being romantic, but "Brokeback Mountain" sure works for me.

Irreversible

My Reputation...

Humoresque...

History Is Made at Night...

Letter From An Unknown Woman...

Love Is a Many Splendored Thing...

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir...

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is a portrayal of a doomed romance. It is a tragedy.
