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?

      "When Harry me Sally. I loved this movie. I also liked The Apartment with Jack Lemmon and Shirley McLain. It still holds up well.

      I think one of the most romantic movies was 1978, Heaven Can Wait, with Warren Beatty and Julie Christie.

      Despair, Lust, Love, gut wrenching, regret ... it does not get much better than Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep in "Bridges of Madison County". If you have not seen it, do.

        I agree about " Gone With The Wind ", movie and book. It took from age 11(precocious) to age 18(?) to "get" the staircase scene. I was more concerned with Bonnie Blue & her pony, and why everyone was hungry, and those great costumes. Distracted me. In my 20's, I discovered " Random Harvest", the great British film, with Greer Garson. Vivian Leigh paled beside her. Ronald Colman was Gable with savoir-faire. The one I turn to more often, hands down; "Random Harvest", and I am a Savannah belle.

        I scanned some of the answers and came to the conclusion that romance is dead! My idea of the most romantic movie is Casablanca - the real old one - in black and white...remember that?  The second is The Notebook, the original one.
