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?

I loved "The English Patient" by Michael Ondjaate What a wonderfully moving tale about an English man Almasy (Ralph Fiennes) who is badly burned when his plane is shot down at the end of WWII and tells an adventurous tale of his prewar love affair with Katherine (Kristin Scott Thomas), a count's wife to his Canadian nurse, Hana ( Juliette Binochet) and two others, a Canadian Intelligence Corps operative and a Sikh sapper (explosives engineer) in the British Army . There is adventure, excellent flying scenes and a tear-your-heart-out ending. Highly recommend!

For me, one of the most romantic movies ever made was ....
"Somewhere In Time" starring Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve both at their most lovely and handsome respectively. The movie was a beautifully blended contemporary and period piece. It was filmed on Michigan's picturesque MacKinac Island where even today, time stands still. I haven't seen this movie in years. But I remember it fondly.

I like my romances with a little comedy in them: When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, 50 First Dates, Stardust, The Princess Bride, but for straight romance it has to be either Casablanca, Titanic or An Affair to Remember. I vote for Casablanca.

Definitely Meryl Streep and Robert Redford in 'Out of Africa'. I have watched this movie countless times and enjoy it every time.
I would also include 'Dr. Zhivago'. I fell in love with that movie the first time I saw it and went back the next night to see it again.

Yes, The Notebook is wonderful, Casablanca is one of the best ever, but there is a wonderful movie called "The End of the Affair" with Ralph Fiennes and Julianne Moore. Sooooo good. And, also, in the musical category, don't forget West Side Story.
