Favourite Romantic Flick!!

jonno

Heres one for all you hopeless romantics out there. Vote for your favourite love story. The one that pulled those heart strings most!!!!

More than one can be voted for!!!!!!

Karl Hungus

I voted for Cassablanca.

But for best Romantic flick, I'd have to say Bram Stokers Dracula, or Interview With The Vampire.
But you dont actualy have those on the poll, do you?

dccarm

I voted Casablanca but would have gone for 'Before Sunrise' given the option. Mmmmmmm Julie Delpy...

Mistakill

Wheres "Some like it Hot" agus "Romancing the Stone"?

po0k

or "Tron"?

Bard

How can you possibly choose from such a short ... eh... shortlist?

Where's Ghost? My Fair Lady? Sleepless in Seattle?

... oh, and it'll have to be Ghost for me, for deeply personal reasons, - natch.

Karl Hungus

Actualy, that's a ****ing stupid post.

There's nothing actualy 'Romantic' in the love & kisses sense.
More of a romantic atmosphere.

So that probably doesn't qualify at all.

Dont really know much about romantic films as such, so I'll leave it at that seeing as none really spring to mind.

Frenzy

How is Titanic a love story its just a big pile of digested food extracted from someones anal cavity.

Spiffing

Where the hell is Hellraiser?

Smurfie

True Romance

Smurfie

i had a similar experience in my house a few years back except the film was Terminator 2 (when Arnie is lowered into the hot stuff). it was horrifying

chernobyl

My fav is not there: 10 things i hate about you.

thats a cool film.

kaimera

Bambi. *snifflez*
or
The Lion King

Im not a great fan of romantic films, but my favourite one would have to be the Wedding Singer, I know its supposed to be a comedy but I thought it was really cool, the bit when Adam Sandler sings the song on the plane when shes going off to marry the dickhead in Vegas

I used to like that one Untamed Heart, the one where Christian Slater had a baboons heart

bonkey

I'd have to go with either

The Big Blue (version longue) by Besson

or

Le Fabuleux Destain d'Amelie Poulain by Jeunet.

Two very differently romantic movies.....both by Frenchmen strangely.

If I stick to the options on the list, its probably Love Story.

Before Sunrise and Annie Hall. And I cried buckets during 'Deep Impact', for some reason, so let's include that too.

plastic membrane

Say Anything. Either that or Cannibal Holocaust..

Thanx 4 The Fish

The Mirror has Two Faces. What a movie...

beardedchicken

none of the above!

where was The English Patient?

mrblue

Top Gun. The point has been made before, but Maverick & Ice Man have a love that's eternal

Bob the Unlucky Octopus

When Harry Met Sally. Watched it in high school and it struck a real chord with me. Billy Crystal's character was very easy for me to identify with- my second choice would probably be Casablanca or the Graduate. There's something about impossible love that's captivating I guess

Kix

I picked Romeo and Juliet off the list, but if had been there, I'd have gone with Bonkey and picked Amelie. It scores far higher on the feelgood scale as well

K

mise

thought moulin rouge was very good but my favourite is Untamed Heart, thought it was a relly sad at the end

Kali

Amelie

Kalina

Sleepless in Seattle is my favourite love-story movie. I really like Tom Hanks anyway and I thought he and Meg Ryan were brilliant together.
My other favourites are Legends of the Fall, The Horse Whisperer and Dirty Dancing.

Yeah tis good. LOL at the dopey guy when he punches the car steering wheel with glee when the blonde lass kizzez him! What dya call the girl with the main role (the i-hate-everyone lass)?

Also liked Son-in-law, City of Angels and even Hackers!!:)

Makaveli

Gone in Sixty Seconds.
The relationship between Nicholas Cage and Eleanor was very touching. They had so much history together, and such a struggle too.

TBH, I don't watch Romantic films. I couldnt help but find Casablanca extremely boring.

Maybe you should look at it as more than just a love story. Just because it's universally regarded as a romantic flick, it doesn't mean that it hasn't many other different levels in it too. It's about one man's struggle to put the past behind him (and not his just his ex-lover).

It's also about a man with issues hiding behind a 'mask' of cynicism.

Granted it is blatently a love story but there are more levels in the movie.

Oh yeah sorry for those classics I missed out on. I just went with my favourites. Its too broad a genre to have a poll on anyway. My mistake.

darthmise

I liked The Crow alot.

But i loved True Romance.

...and then i saw Badlands, and my world fell apart..

I wasnt watching it as a love story.
It was just boring in general imo.

" No, that's not what I
mean. Loretta, I love you. Not
like they told you love is and I
didn't know this either. But love
don't make things nice, it ruins
everything, it breaks your heart,
it makes things a mess. We're not
here to make things perfect.
Snowflakes are perfect. The stars
are perfect. Not us. We are here
to ruin ourselves and break our
hearts and love the wrong people
and die! The storybooks are
bull****. Come upstairs with me,
baby! Don't try to live your life
out to somebody else's idea of
sweet happiness. Don't try to
live on milk and cookies when what
you want is meat! Red meat just
like me! It's wolves run with
wolves and nothing else! You're a
wolf just like me!

DeVore

Truely Madly Deeply.

A film which is poignantly romantic without making you feel like you just ate 6 bags of Skittles. One of my all-time favourite movies and the best romantic film I've seen.

Truely madly deeply was good but more then romance was the feeling of cold which seemed to come out of the screen and lech way all the heat in the room

Julia Stiles. She's feisty.

Given the options I voted Titanic, But I reckon that Sleepless in Seatle was a good one. I'm sure there are many more of course, but that sticks in my head.
