February 5, 20196 yr I understand that I may get my Man Card suspended for this, but Murphy’s Romance is a great movie. Carol King did a nice job on the musical score.

February 5, 20196 yr Since my first choice was ingeniously mentioned early, I'll go with The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Eminently watchable and all sung, like an opera, but the story is remarkably fresh in that three are no Hollywood endings, and Michel LeGrand's music is the best.. Terrific movie that no one under 40 knows about, but which influenced love stories for decades to come. Plus... Catherine Denevue...
February 5, 20196 yr The Way We Were The Notebook The Princess Bride Silver Linings Playbook Ghost True Romance
February 5, 20196 yr high fidelity, say anything, princess bride, love actually. When I have the house to myself, I also find throat gaggers 2 quite romantic, but I only ever make it through the first five minutes.
February 5, 20196 yr Some of my favorites already listed. Here are some others. Serendipity Valley Girl Sleepless in Seattle An Affair to Remember Pretty in Pink Some Kind of Wonderful
February 5, 20196 yr The story of a pizza guy delivering to a sorority house with no money may be a little cliche these days, but it still gets me every time. Timeless.
February 5, 20196 yr When Harry Met Sally may be more in the romantic comedy genre (or rom-com for you younger folks) than pure romance, but it created a formula than many others have tried to duplicate since, and it provides some of the best quotable lines. And the arc of Harry and Sally's evolving relationship over the course of a decade was a great storyline.
February 5, 20196 yr 2 minutes ago, retread said: Casablanca I never saw Casablanca until I dated a girl in Dallas in the late 1990s and she suggested we rent it one night. With the primary motivation of getting in her pants, I went along with it. I trudged through what I thought was just a "meh" film, only to get blue balls after an hour of dry humping. So yeah, I can't say that Casablanca is on my list.
February 5, 20196 yr Don't like the movie, but the English patient. You can't leave out Casablanca out of the discussion. Captain Louis Renaults man love for Rick of course, greatest unrequited love in all of film history..... Sid and Nancy.......for the ridiculous. Edited February 5, 20196 yr by Onboard 2.0

February 5, 20196 yr High Fidelity really is close to the mark -- the book even more so than the movie -- as to what most guys would think was a romance. Good call.
February 5, 20196 yr Thanks. I've been peddling the screenplay for years, but so far no significant interest. I wonder if after you were born and mr and mrs South Austin were looking at their bouncing baby boy they ever thought he would one day write “got blue balls after an hour of dry humping”

February 5, 20196 yr I'll contrast my Casablanca story with one involving High Fidelity. For some reason I had never got around to seeing that movie until 2002 when my girlfriend bought the DVD, as she thought it would be a movie I would really like. I fell in love with the movie -- Rob Gordon's quirky love journey revolving around his passion for music -- and thought to myself, "This woman really gets me." That woman eventually became Mrs. South Austin.

February 5, 20196 yr wall-e. greatest leading man in the last 25 years of american cinema. everything he does is for love.
February 5, 20196 yr 3 hours ago, South Austin said: Another vote for High Fidelity. Cousins is a very underrated romantic flick. Cousins is greatness. I need to rewatch. It's been a while. Strictly Ballroom is a great romantic movie. It's the standard "ugly duckling" who is transformed, but it's Australian and very quirky.

February 5, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, WhatTheBuck said: Groundhog Day. Similarly - Tootsie. Admittedly, it's as much about being an actor in NYC as a love story. Great dialogue. Not a traditional romance.
February 5, 20196 yr Traditional When Harry Met Sally Sleepless in Seattle You've Got Mail Notting Hill The Notebook Love Actually My Girl Non-Traditional Blue is the Warmest Color Blue Valentine The Big Sick Let The Right One In Atonement Boys Don't Cry Never Let Me Go The Time Traveler's Wife

February 5, 20196 yr Only so much we can ask of women in terms of taking our music seriously. Diner is in my personal top 10, but a lot of slapdicks have never heard of it.
February 5, 20196 yr ^ Quote The first time that I met you... ...Modell's sister's high-school graduation party. Right? 1955. And Ain't That A Shame was playing when I walked in the door.
