Most romantic movies of all time - past and recent

I hate most romantic movies. I wish I didn't. But here's my quirky list of goods films that, in my view, say something about romantic love:

"Leaving Las Vegas"

"Buffalo '66"

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"

"The Philadelphia Story"

"Groundhog Day"

Another one:

"High Fidelity"

Someone mentioned "In The Bedroom" as a romantic movie. They must be confusing it with something else. Despite the title, it's not a romantic movie by any means.

Onegin

Doctor Zhivago[

despise this category but high fidelity, before sunrise (you have to have been just the right age at the right time in the 1990s for this), casablanca, true romance, the african queen, eternal sunshine, the sure thing, and annie hall are good ones.

And what age did one have to be at the right time in the 90s to appreciate Before Sunrise?

Some Kind of Wonderful

I mentioned the movie as a recommendation to someone that enjoyed the sunrise/sunset movie. There are very similar in style and both highly overrated. But yes, in the bedroom is not a romance movie.

To Er...

The scene I was talking about is when they have both reconnect and he's going over to her apartment...when the film shows how he had intended for the night to go - versus how it actually does. Thought it was f***** spot on in showing what it's like to be a guy in love with a girl who doesn't return the favor, and the way it was shown....magnificent.

A third (???) vote for Big Fish.

Brief Encounter

"Singing in the Rain"

True Romance and Big Fish as already mentioned. I'll add The World According to Garp and Educating Rita.

The Princess Bride,Has your action, your romance...good for everyone.

Not sure if these would classify for first timers but favorite are:

1. "Here to Eternity"

2. "Bridges of Madison County"

3. "Dying Young"

And if those are too sappy or too much for you then rent "Booty Call", you can't go wrong there. Enjoy.
