Sex Lies and Videotape. OK it doesn't set out to be romantic.

People like that "Pretty Woman", which it seems to me works until you're pointed out the reasons why it shouldn't. (i.e., Julia Roberts: genuine as an actress but not genuine as a prostitute.)

I thought that "City of Angels" was absolutely perfect... right up until the last third.

There's romance in Wings of Desire, the original to City of Angels: So very weird. And something about the lovely and strange Peter Falk (rather than Cage) as the angel...Its one of those movies that lingers in your head.

Let's not forget "Shakespeare in Love", while we're on the topic of costume dramas and romantic films.

I also recommend "Dangerous Beauty" very highly, as well as "The Girl with the Pearl Earring". Not quite so costumey, but definitely Period, is "Sirens".

Don't overlook "Bevis and Butthead do America."

I'm absolutely floored by some of the responses. "What Dreams May Come"? Really? After seeing that, my friends banned the person who chose the movie that night from having a say in our movie selection for a year. We STILL talk about how bad it was 10 years later.

Anyway, in terms of quality movies, Eternal Sunshine is always great.

Guilty pleasures: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Two Weeks Notice -- very cheesy, but always amusing

The movie may have sucked, I'll grant you that, but you have to admit that it was visually interesting.

I can't wait for the new Bond to come out. Daniel Craig is completely hott.

I always liked "10 Things I Hate About You." A teen romantic film, but I found it to be very amusing!

I vaguely remember that North & South; or maybe I'm remembering something similar.

Not a huge fan of romantic movies--never go see 'em in the theater, but occasionally I get hooked on one seen on tv or video, particularly in the romantic comedy genre.

Two of my favorites: "Moonstruck" with Cher and Nicholas Cage, and "Fools Rush In" with Salma Hayek and -- that guy from Friends.

I'm with you Cloud. Not a "romantic movie" person per se, but a well-written well acted movie is great, no matter the genre.

And Moonstruck! Love it.

Nicholas Cage's character "I'm no monument to justice!"

"In time, you'll drop dead and I'll come you your funeral in a red dress!!!!" --one of my fave quotes. Here are some more quotes from Moonstruck:

What Women Want - clever premise
Simply Irresistable - It's true I'm a sucker for SMG, but I think this is underrated.

Depends on your definition of romance I suppose.
The most passionate film I think I have ever watched was all about unrequited love - Manon des Sources. My throat burned from trying not to cry, and when I gave way I sobbed. Had to stop the video (as it was then, kids).
