# 10. Titanic
Collide With Destiny.
Description :-
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.

A nervous romance.

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.

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

# 5. Vertigo
A tall story about a pushover
Description :-
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.

# 3. The Notebook
Behind every great love is a great story.
Description :-
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.

Star-Cast :- Gena Rowlands, James Garner and Rachel McAdams
Plot :- An Old Man Narrates story to an old woman about a young couple that falls in love in 1940's summer.

# 2. Gone With The Wind
The greatest romance of all time!
Description :-
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!
Description :-
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.
Director :- Michael Curtiz
Star-Cast :- Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid
