Very often i fall for the romantic comedy genre. I am so fond of this genre that i can watch romantic comedies all month or may the whole year.

I don't remember which romantic comedy film was the first that i saw but i do remember that i have a soft corner for such movies since teen age.

I have seen tear jerker romantic tragedies too but nothing is as good as a fun romance. Here is the list of 100 romance films. Not all of them are romantic comedies but i can bet among the Top 25 you'll see more romantic comedies than tragedies.

Top 10 Romantic Movies

Below is the list of my personal favorite Top 10 Love films.

# 10. Titanic

Collide With Destiny.

Titanic

RMS Titanic was ill-fated ship but the movie made on it was not.In fact Titanic's (movie) fate was so shiny that almost every director wish to make One 'Titanic' in his life.Not only the film become the highest grossing film of all time(and hold the spot for 12 long years) but also bagged 10 Oscars including 'Best Picture'.

I remember 'Titanic' being the earliest Hollywood movie I watched and it increased my obsession for movies.Titanic focuses on two strangers who falls in love while boarding the ill fated ship.Their romance grows with journey but comes to a tragic end with the sinking of ship.

James Cameroon really worked for the movie and took care of every small thing from music to the performance of actors.Kate winslet and Leonardo di caprio are as usual AWESOME.One Plus point of Titanic was its music and The Track 'My Heart will Go On' by Celine Dion become a timeless classic love song.

Can men and women be friends or does always s*x get in the way?

When Harry Met Sally - Special Edition

Rob Reiner is famous for making timeless romantic comedies and 'When Harry Met Sally' is his Best work.

The Film focuses On harry who is good friend with Sally.Their friendship grows over years and both develop a feeling,an urge to have s*x.However,both are afraid that this might ruin their friendship.Will they continue their friendship together?

When Harry Met sally easily get you connected to story and you find yourself involved in Harry and Sally's Day to day life.More than a decade of Harry and sally's Life is shown on screen and in every scene you feel yourself more concerned with their relationship.

# 8. Love Story

Love means never having to say you're sorry

Love Story

Love story is tear jerker romance film.It is adapted from Eric Segal's Novel of Same Name.Love Story captures 'once in a lifetime love' beautifully.

Ryan o Neal stars as Oliver Barrett IV,son of rich a businessman and Harvard's famous hockey player.He has issues on every issue with his father.Ali McGraw stars as Smart-mouthed Music student Jennifer.Oliver Soon falls for her and decides to spend rest of the life with her.

The chemistry between Ryan and Ali is wonderful and they bring a brilliant romance alive on screen.

# 7. Annie Hall

A nervous romance.

Annie Hall

Every woody allen movie have two things in common.Romantic Comedy as genre and New York as the place for romance.Annie hall is no exception.The film is considered as Woody's best work.

In fact Annie hall is one of the best romantic comedy ever made.The film focuses on Alvy singer,a neurotic TV comedian who lives in Manhattan,New York.He falls for Beautiful Annie hall and to his surprise She accepts her.Their love however does not goes as expected.

This film is considered as Woody's Breakthrough movie and Hollywood started taking him as serious artist.Though Woody made many other good offbeat romantic comedies but Annie Hall is his best so far.

# 6. An Affair to Rember

Every precious moment of the glad...tender...triumphant love they found -- and almost lost!

An Affair to Remember

If you love Romantic Tragedies then 'An Affair to remember' is best pick for you.The film is remake of 1939 'Love affair' (Both movies directed by same director). Its hard to control tears after watching this romantic tragedy.

The film focuses on a two strangers who falls in love on an ocean liner.However,both of them are engaged to other person.They decide to meet up after 6 months (only if they had the same feeling of love in heart) at Empire state building.Fate has written something else for them and their romance turns into tragic mishap.

I won't recommend this movie to those who either can't handle sentimental plots or doesn't like romantic tragedies.

# 5. Vertigo

A tall story about a pushover

Vertigo (Collector's Edition)

Its hard to Put Alfred Hitchcock's movies in one genre.Though earlier i considered that all Hitchcock's movies have 'THRILLER' as ground theme.It was not untill 'Vertigo' that i understood that he can make brilliant romance films too.

Starring Hollywood's favorite James 'Jimmy' Stewart along with Kim Novak,Vertigo is best Thriller Romance film you'll ever see.The film focuses on John 'Scottie' Ferguson (James Stewart),a detective suffering from acrophobia.John is given a task by his friend to keep an eye on his wife.John accepts it and while doing his job he tries a lot to not to fall for her.However,his control only result in obsession for her.But,One thing John doesn't know is her reality.

Hitchcock Brilliantly made this romance thriller.Hats off to Him and to James Stewart (He was Really Every Woman's Dream Man).

# 4. Doctor Zhivago

Turbulent were the times and fiery was the love story of Zhivago, his wife and the passionate, tender Lara.

Doctor Zhivago

Doctor Zhivago is an epic love movie which was ahead of its time.The film is one of the highest grossing movie of all time.Plot was epic which was inspired from Novel of same name by Boris Pasternak.

Doctor Zhivago is story of a poet who falls in love with a Politician wife.The film is set during Russian revolution.

Omar sharif and Julie christie give their best performance.But the man who is the biggest reason behind the success of this romantic drama is David Lean.One of the most respected film maker (He was British) showed his real talent in Doctor Zhivago.

# 3. The Notebook

Behind every great love is a great story.

The Notebook

I always enjoy watching movies that go in Narrative style.The Notebook is one such film and by far the best romantic movie of 21st century.The film is based on famous novel of same name by Nicholas Sparks.His novels were already adapted in movies.The Notebook,However is the best adaption.

The movie tells the tale of a Young couple that falls in love during the 1940s summer.Guy is poor,Girl Is rich and Girl's family take her away from the boy.Well till now this plot will look similar to many romantic movies.But the best part of The Notebook comes after that.(I'm not gonna ruin that)

Ryan gosling and Rachael McAdams did pretty good job.Apart from romantic story and chemistry between characters,one thing that i loved was Cinematography.Every scene was beautifully filmed.All these things together make this a perfect EVERY COUPLE'S DREAM ROMANTIC FILM.

# 2. Gone With The Wind

The greatest romance of all time!

Gone with the Wind (Two-Disc 70th Anniversary Edition)

Gone with the wind is a masterpiece.It holds the ideal place in world cinema and every best movie is compared to Gone with the wind in one way or another.

Director Victor Fleming brought together few of the all-time biggest Talents in Hollywood.Clark Gable (Chosen as one of the best Male actor of all time by AFI) stars as Rhett Butler,a roguish man.The Very Beautiful Vivien Leigh Stars as Scarlett O' Hara,manipulative young woman (A Role to die for).

Gone with the wind was based on Novel of Same Name by Margaret Mitchell.The Character of Scarlett O' Hara is said to be inspired from Mitchell's own life.If you want to see real Hollywood DO WATCH THIS.

# 1. Casablanca

They had a date with fate in Casablanca!

Casablanca

Even After holding the number 1 spot as 'Best Romantic Movie' form more than 50 years Casablanca still have the charm and affection to wow viewers.

Time Passed,Generation changed but the Immortal Romantic tale of Rick Blaine and Ilsa lund still holds the same place in audience's heart.Casablanca is a proof that technology may change,way of depicting stories may change,cinematography may change but feelings,love,affection remains the same.

I guess people love stories where romance develop in terrible deadly situations, for example in WAR.Casablanca beautifully shows that how an American expatriate after meeting his past love chooses love over his words of character.

Who can forget the famous 'Play it,Sam' scene. Here it is:

I love Tearjerker Tragedy Romance

Jillynn says:

This is a hard one but I lean slightly toward the tearjerker type which unfortunately are more realistic.

says:

Tragedy has more impact.

No Tragedy, Just Comic Romance

katrinakaifg says:

its a comedy romance for me

MusicMadness says:

I'm more of a comic romance sort of guy . . . love is just so funny isn't it?

holly2 says:

Always romantic comedies. I hate unhappy endings. By the way, a truly lovely lens but there are a few typos that spoil it. Tragedies not tragidies, Affair to Remember not Rember. I hope you find this helpful :-)

says:

great dear.

Voted for Forrest Gump!
