What Do You Think is the Most Romantic Movie Ever?

I know it's the day after Valentines but what the heck. What movie do you feel is the perfect romance and why? I would have to say "Gone With the Wind". Funny because it was my mother's favorite too. I remember as a teen she took me to see it for the first time. Of course it didn't really do too much for me then. She also passed the book on to me. That was much better and after a few years I saw the movie again and now I understood the characters.

 

Pity crushing on Leslie Howard and Clark Gable when they've been gone for so long. But Clark Gable stood the test of time. Even compared to sex symbols of the present day...Clark as Rhett Butler, MWWWRRRROWWR. The thing I love about this movie besides the stars is it was the way great movies used to be. No shades of gray or people being crazed weasels. They left things to the audiences imagination.

 

Like when Rhett hauls Scarlett up that staircase, you just know the house was a rockin', they didn't have to be graphic. Scarlett all happy the next morning said it all. Yes the portrayal of blacks in this movie is an abomination...But just concentrating on Rhett and Scarlett...Oh and IMHO he does ultimately go back to her. They knew each other too well. He probably goes to town and Belle Watling talks him into going home.

 

So whats your favorite romance?

    "The Magic of Ordinary Days" with Keri Russell and Skeet Ulrich.  A period piece set in the Midwest during WWII.  It's sweet, quiet, insightful and beautiful.

    “Out of Africa” with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, followed by “Bridges of Madison County,” with Streep and Clint Eastwood.  Both were deeply emotional movies, with strong yet disappointed women in the leading role.

    I love the "Wedding Singer". I watch this movie whenever it comes out. Over & over again. I love the music that they play ..... the 80's.

    I loved the movie Dave.  It was a sweet and romantic movie, and my go to movie if I am feeling down. It certainly isn't one of the big romance, in your face movie, but one where the love starts slowly.  It is also a movie that generations can enjoy together.

    PRETTY WOMAN by far.  I have watched it so many times I can almost repeat the dialogue by heart.

    Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet.  A perfectly honed script.  Stellar cast. Georgeous photography.  Rich, lush musical score.  A timeless film.
