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 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.

    Image result for pic from the movie somewhere in timeFor 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.

    The movie I found most romantic (and I watch every time it is on), is An Affair to Remember, which stars Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant.  How can you argue against a pair of lovers like that?  Interestingly, this is a remake of Love Affair which starred Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne, another great pairing!  Both movies are great, but An Affair to Remember is in color and, need I repeat, Cary Grant at his most charming and beautiful Deborah Kerr!  Both have other love interests when they first meet on a cruise ship.  Despite efforts to pretend there is nothing going on, everybody knows!  As they reach the port in New York City, they make a vow to meet on Christmas Day at the top of the Empire State Building (yes, this device was used in Sleepless in Seattle, another great love story!)..

    As it happens, Deborah goes to the Empire State Building but things do not always turn out as planned.  The ending always leaves me blubbering, so why not join me!

    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!
