Top 10 Romantic Movies of All-Time
1. When Harry Met Sally
Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal seems like a pretty bad
match in real life, and through much of this classic film it appears to be that
way in the movie too. However, the two end up bonding over their
differences and find love in some of the most iconic romance scenes of all
time.
2. 10 Things I Hate About You
There had to be one high school romance on the list, and 10 Things I Hate About You is that movie. Charming, funny, and a great illustration of high school life, this movie brings shows that sometimes the worst of situations can turn out just fine.
3. Love, Actually
British humor, a superstar cast, and numerous
meaningful love stories make Love, Actually one of the more interesting
romantic films on our list. It also has another big thing going for it –
Christmas. The movie looks at love in a way that is both more humorous –
and more serious – than the other films on our list, and it deserves a place
for pulling it off well.
4. You've Got Mail
Ah, online romance, it is so popular now but in 1998 it was a new thing and You’ve Got Mail was the film to take it to the mainstream. The success of AOL, and Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan together again, made this movie an instant tearjerker as well as a warning that you never know when your online crush may be the person you think you dislike the most.
5. Titanic
Celine Dion’s epic Titanic theme made our Most
Romantic Songs list, so it’s only natural that the movie should make
it as well. The creators of Titanic took the well known event of this
sinking ship and crafted it into a beautiful love story. While the ending
is bittersweet, the film as a whole is one of the greatest romances we’ve seen.
6. Dirty Dancing
It is sad that movies these days rarely feature songs sung by the lead actor, because Patrick Swayze’s “She’s Like the Wind” is one of the best parts of this movie. The movie itself, a torrid romance between two people who everyone would like to keep apart, is a staple in both ‘80s fashion and dancing.
7. The Wedding Singer
Adam Sandler isn’t known for being a romantic, but
this romantic comedy set in the ‘80s is as much about loving as it is about
laughing. Sandler and Barrymore are a great team, and the ‘80s references
are always on point. There are numerous sweet moments in the film, but
none as grand as the ending scene featuring Billy Idol, an airplane, and a
brilliant original song sung by the Wedding Singer himself.
8. Gone With the Wind
Epic Civil War drama focuses on the life of petulant
southern belle Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh). Starting with her idyllic on a
sprawling plantation, the film traces her survival through the tragic history
of the South during the Civil War and Reconstruction, and her tangled love
affairs with Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard) and Rhett Butler
(Clark Gable).
9. Pretty Woman
A modern day prince and princess tale, millionaire Richard Gere picks Julia Roberts up from the street, literally. While things don’t always go smoothly, the two fall in love and both are forever changed because of it.
10. The Notebook
Nicholas Sparks’ love story is translated to film via
the powerful performances of Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. It is truly
a love story for the ages, as the audience gets to see the couple in nearly
part of their life, experiencing every part of their lives with them.
