My fave is Life is Beautiful.
But if I had to pick a pure rom com, then you only ever need to watch Love actually. It's got it all. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! |

I LOVE the Dracula story!!! It was told in a very romantic way when Francis Ford Coppolla (sp?) did it. The other "Dracula" movies - with Christopher Lee and Frank Langella - didn't highlight the love story as much.
I've been watching "The Count Dracula" produced by BBC on youtube. So far there's no love story here, but all the bloggers say it follows the book perfectly. I haven't read the book so I don't know what Bram's true vision was.
I can't say this is the best movie with romance though....I need to think about this, but off the top my head I'll add "The Shop Around The Corner" with Jimmy Stewart.

Absolute best romance of all time: Now, Voyager with Bette Davis, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains and Gladys Cooper. All other romances must bow before this one.
Other great ones on my list:
Roman Holiday Doctor Zhivago Love Is A Many Splendored Thing The Ghost and Mrs. Muir Notorious (not technically a romance, but it contains a great love story) Dark Victory Casablanca An Affair to Remember Wuthering Heights (1939 please - with Lawrence Olivier and Merle Oberon) Moonstruck A Room With A View The Good-bye Girl It Happened One Night An American In Paris Splendor In The Grass
I could go on and on, but basically, I'd just be doing the AFI's list, so here's that...

Somehow I don't remember the book being all that romantic. I did like FFCs movie version though, I think I have it on DVD somewhere, I need to take a look. | |

Aliens
Why they didn't include the scene where Ripley tells Hicks (Dwayne) her first name before walking down into the depths of the nuclear sub-reactor to remove Nute from sticky, secreted, resin, and to destroy all the alien eggs and blow the Alien queen's chamber, before returning and escaping within minutes of the entire 30-kilometer region going up in smoke.....is beyond me. It was a good love story. | |

OMG just bought that movie from Amazon last week. I fell madly in love with John Malcovich because of this movie!!!! ( I had it already on Video and wanted the DVD). There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin. | |

He killed that role (in a good way).
I like the Colin Firth/Annette Bening version (Valmont) better. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I have not seen that. Have you ever loved a movie so much you did not want to see anyone else do it? There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin. | |

Valmont was released AFTER Dangerous Liasons and I felt no need to see "another version" of such an awesome movie.
Genesia - have you seen both versions? If so, which one did you see first? By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

If I were to recomend a movie on my list it is "Mrs Brown" or "Her Majesty Mrs Brown" and unbelievable performance!! There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin. | |

Valmont came out only a few months after Dangerous Liaisons - so it isn't like it was a copy. They were in production at the same time.
And I saw Dangerous Liaisons first. I still like Valmont better. I think the performances are subtler and more finely drawn. IMeg Tilly is a much better Madame de Tourvel than Michelle Pfeiffer. And Henry Thomas was about a thousand times better than as Danceny than (ew) Keanu Reeves. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Yeah...just about anyone is better in a serious role than Keanu.
I think maybe next time I'm stuck @ home w/ time to kill I'll check for it on On-Demand. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

I have to say SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. I've only seen the one with EMMA THOMPSON.
LOVE ACTUALLY does it for me everytime too.
I can't think of any real romantic gay movies. There are bits and pieces of gay themed movies that are romantic though.

Those are both awesome films. Love Actually...again...Colin Firth.
And Sense and Sensibility is just wonderful. Emma Thompson totally deserved her Oscar for that script. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
