Romantic Movies
We
Recommend for Your Date
Our
dating relationship professionals have their favorite list romantic
movies that you might want to check out with your special someone.
If
you are stumped and don't know where to look for a romantic
film idea, we are here to help.
Based on our
research and tips from the pros, we've come up with the best love
movies that will set the mood for sure.
Our picks for favorite romantic
films are:
1.
Gone with the
Wind (1939)
Romantic
Leads: Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh Leigh's hot-tempered,
self-centered beauty thinks she loves the gentlemanly Ashley Wilkes,
played by Leslie Howard. The smug, rebellious blockade-running
profiteer Rhett Butler, however, knows the Scarlett belongs with him.
Set against the Civil War, this tragic love quadrangle that is
completed by Olivia DeHavilland as Wilkes' long-suffering wife, Melanie
is a once in a lifetime experience.
2. Casablanca
(1942)
Romantic
Leads: Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Is probably one of
the
most romantic movies ever made, but it’s also an exciting character
driven war story set in a wonderfully exotic setting. Bogie plays Rick,
an expatriate American who’s hiding from his painful past in Nazi
controlled Vichy French Morocco. He warily ignores the World War II
intrigue that swirls all around him, concentrating instead on running a
popular Casablanca nightspot.
3. Titanic
(1997)
Romantic
Leads: Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. One of the more
popular romantic movies since Casablanca. The telling of a
beautiful love story against the backdrop of one of history's most
tragic events makes Titanic a story for the ages. Starring Kate Winslet
as Rose DeWitt, a daughter of privilege, and Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack
Dawson, a poor young artist, the film deftly depicts the true meaning
of star-crossed love.
4. An
Affair to Remember (1957)
Romantic
Leads: Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr This is the standard for which most
romantic movies are based. It is the classic of boy meets
girl,
boy loses girl, and boy gets girl again but with one of the most famous
meeting places in film history.
5. Pretty Woman
(1990)
Romantic
Leads: Richard Gere, Julia Roberts This movie witnessed the first
pairing of another magical screen couple, Richard Gere and Julia
Roberts in an updated version of the Cinderella story. Gere plays
Edward Lewis, a cold hearted businessman who picks up a Hollywood
hooker named Vivan Ward (Roberts) for what he intends to be a fun
evening. What results, however, is one of the most delightful movie
romances of all time.
6. Ghost (1990)
Romantic
Leads: Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore This is probably the ultimate
chick flick. It pairs together Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore in their
one and only turn together. Swayze plays Sam Wheat, a New York yuppie
who is killed during a mugging. He returns to earth with a mission to
find his murderer and save his fiancée, Molly Jensen (Moore) from the
same fate.
7. When
Harry Met Sally (1989)
Romantic
Leads: Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan Harry Burns, played by Billy Crystal,
and Sally Albright, played by Meg Ryan, meet when they drive together
to New York City. They quickly discover that they don't really get
along. This is sealed after they have a big discussion about how men
and women can never really be friends because "the sex thing gets in
the way." However, these two neurotic New Yorkers keep running into
each other over a period of 13 years and slowly but surely form a
strong friendship that eventually verges on romance.
8.
Sabrina
(1954)
Billy
Wilder's stylish modern Cinderella story stars Audrey Hepburn as
Sabrina, the chauffeur's daughter who fancies herself in love with the
youngest son of her father's employer, David Larabee (played by William
Holden). However, David is a playboy who is bound to break the girl's
heart. To prevent this from happening, her father sends Sabrina to
Paris to study. When she finally returns, David finds himself
spellbound by the lovely, sophisticated young woman.
9 .
Forrest Gump
(1994)
Yes…Forrest
Gump. One of our favorite romantic movies (of sorts) and had
to add it to our list. The
love that Forrest (played by Tom Hanks) has for Jenny is so
sweet. The world will never be the same once you've seen it
through the eyes of Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump, while not
intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments,
but his true love, Jenny, eludes him.
9.
City of Angels
(1998)
Romantic
Leads: Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan. Not one of your most
well-known romantic movies, but we like it. "It is very
moving
that someone would give up his eternal life just to be with you."
--Mary F. "It really touches you and makes you feel lucky to be in love
and be able to share your world with the person that you love." --tbelk
"One moment with someone you love is better than an eternity without
them!".
