also, apart from kar-wai's/di-duk's joints and a few other hollywood ones this always got to me:

i think i am the only person on the planet who liked it better than my sassy girl. haven't seen either in years though, so maybe my opinion would have changed.

 

[Inferno313]

Maybe none of these are traditional "romance" flicks, but they're all ones that deal with the subject matter in a way that really emotionally resonates with me.

 

[Loxley]

d'aaawwwwwwwww

*edit - fuck beaten badly

 

[Amory]

Adventureland.

Cute story, and it made me fall HARD for Kristen Stewart.

 

[JakeK812]

Nothing else comes close. Having said that, all of his other films are great too, especially Annie Hall.

Chasing Amy is another great contender in this category.

 

[Inferno313]

Adventureland.

Cute story, and it made me fall HARD for Kristen Stewart.

Good flick, and I agree. While her work in Twilight isn't anything special at all, I think she gets a lot of undeserved hate.

Comrades: Almost A Love Story

THIS. MOVIE. OMG.

Also, the Korean original of My Sassy Girl.

Crying out love, in the center of the world

 

[chaostrophy]

 

[Jean Valjean]

Somewhere in Time.

Maybe because seeing Christopher Reeve in his prime, and then thinking about Superman Returns while watching, it was too much for me to handle.

 

[CF_Fighter]

About a Boy.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

 

[CSX]

This. Also the first movie I bought the blu-ray of.

 

[Dorpheus]

+1 for Annie Hall, Adventureland, Beginners, Manhattan, Eternal Sunshine... , and 5 Centimeters per Second.

Also this:

(Casablanca)

and

(City Lights)

EDIT:

How could I possibly forget:

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

You guys can deny it all you want, but the movie had you played like a violin.

 

[commedieu]

I love, Love Actually. Although thats surely its intended purpose. I fall for it every time.

Wicker Park actually makes me tear up out of happiness for those fuckers @ the end.

edit;

Hell ya Punch Drunk Love.

But I'm in love with Sandlers struggle in the film, i can relate, and its a good love story. Think its more about him finally coming out of that shell due to wuv.

 

[beat]

girl next door never pulled on my heartstrings, but it def is a dope film. never understood why its so underrated/didn't bring in $$$.

Y'all didn't think Emile Hirsch, the male lead, looked uncannily like a male version of Elisha Cuthbert?


(I'd go with Before Sunset, Before Sunrise, 500 Days of Summer, Love & Other Drugs, Eternal Sunshine, and Notting Hill in some order. I guess I'm a sucker for romantic movies.)

Kate Winslet is a terrific actress, but I prefer her in The Reader for a romantic movie.

EDIT:

How could I possibly forget:

Blue Valentine is a fantastic movie and it hits hard. I highly recommend it. Warning though, it is not your typical happy romance movie.

 

[noah111]

I was going to make a LTTP Atonement thread, that shit really got me.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Paul Verhoeven's TURKISH DELIGHT

 

[Atrus]

Room in Rome
Fucking Amal
Whispers of the Heart
The Princess Bride
Legend
The Last Unicorn

I just realized I need to get The Last Unicorn on Bluray.

 

[ollin]

 

[Data West]

Probably didn't help that I crush hard on Mandy Moore.

 

[Jake.]

this was alright but the ending fucking ruined the whole thing.

Spoiler

she took him back just for sitting outside for a day or so?

- lolwut. turned a semi-realistic/relatable issue into a typical hollywood ending. weak.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

URGH. What an awful, awful movie.

Spoiler

Bilson tits aside.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

(Ok so Cinema Paradiso is really about love for the cinema, but it counts!)

I found Brokeback Mountain touching but have only seen it once on release and don't remember it terribly well.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Warm Water Under a Red Bridge.

 

[Kisaya]

I'm not that much into romantic films but I really like Pride & Prejudice with Keira Knightley. Knightley looks beauitful in that movie and the soundtrack is just amazing. I even bought the cd.

Literally cried myself to sleep after this movie. I rewatch it every once in a while </3

 

[Dead Man]

(mainly for the side stories, especially the mad dash through London at the end)

Seconding Voices of a Distant Star

Groundhog Day and Lost In Translation are great movies, but they never plucked the heart strings, Bill Murray is just too absurd for that to work

 

[maomaoIYP]

I was going to make a LTTP Atonement thread, that shit really got me.

Kiera Knightly was so good in Atonement.

Also, this:

Your link is as broken as your heart.

Also, Never Let Me Go was kind of disappointing to me. I had been anticipating it forever. The trailer was more moving than the film. That's what you get when you use 'Reprise' from The Door in the Floor.

 

[Joel Was Right]

You won't have seen anything like it. The ending scene is pretty clever, you almost dont notice it

 

[Kevtones]

I like The Girl Next Door a lot. Underrated Olyphant.

What did you not like about it? I thought Carey Mulligan was fantastic in it. The sorrow was constantly written on her face.

It felt like the film was missing a third act.

 

[T.O.P]

Coincidentally my favourite film of all-time lol.

this


also

can't think of any other movie who had me going back to when i was a kid and the first teenage years that follows, such a pure and heartwarming story



and an obvious choice

The book is way better.

 

[Chromax]

I thought 50 First Dates was really touching...

 

[parasight]

Damn, I remember being so pumped to see this following Garden State, but it sucked so bad.

My own list:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Before Sunrise
Before Sunset
Wall-E
50 First Dates

 

[accx]

Some really good flicks posted here.

My all time favorite is probably 3-iron though.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Leos Carax's THE LOVERS ON THE BRIDGE

 

[squall211]

What happens in the end?

The moneyshot.

 

[Prologue]

You won't have seen anything like it. The ending scene is pretty clever, you almost dont notice it

whats the name of the movie?

 

[8bit]

Man Bites Dog.

 

[trineo_feo]

Why do you post it without the name?

 

[RedAssedApe]

The Notebook.
Forrest Gump.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

 

[Link Man]

Well, Marley & Me is technically a Romantic Film, so that.

Spoiler

Even if it wasn't for the romance.

 

[Blablurn]

a walk to remember, my sassy girl and windstruck

 

[Kubricks Ghost]

I sobbed at the end of 5 year engagement. I've been under a lot of stress lately. Honest.
