Alas, we lost Olivia Hussey last week. She's forever fourteen in my memory.

[debm55]

4. Thank you very much ,Mister Ed. Beautiful film.

[Mister Ed]

5. "Dr Zhivago" is certainly one of my favorites of all time.

I don't think of it as a romantic movie specifically. I tend to forget that it is that, though: a brilliant romantic movie wrapped up in a sweeping historical epic. What a movie.

[debm55]

9. I agree. That is what makes it such a classic. Thank you Mister Ed

[FM123]

6. The Way We Were

[debm55]

[whathehell]

Loved this movie and while one can say what they will about JV now, he did a great job in it and looked very good...Jane was good too, of course.

[debm55]

16. I agree. JV was hot in that and as was Jane, Lovely movie

[whathehell]

17. Somewhere in Time

[debm55]

19. Thank you hedda_foil.

[LakeArenal]

57. Good one.

[txwhitedove]

18. Don't laugh. Kate & Leopold, when he asks at breakfast on a beautiful Saturday, "what should

we do today?" He asks her opinion, she has a choice, love and adventure beckons.

And, Cold Mountain for the love and sheer heartbreak.

[debm55]

20. Thank you txwhitedove. Great choice.

[JoseBalow]

21. Harold and Maude (1971)

(2:51)

[debm55]

22. Thank you JoseBalow.

[LogDog75]

23. You've Got Mail and While You Were Sleeping

In You've Got Mail, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan's chemistry is great. Hanks' character is affable which makes him hard to dislike and Ryan's character is a warm, adorable woman who tries not to like Hank's character.

While You Were Sleeping, this is one of my favorite Sandra Bullock movies. Sandra Bullock's character (Lucy) is secretly in love with a man (Peter) who really doesn't know she exists. When she saves his life, everyone but his brother (Jack) thinks she is his fiancee. As Jack tests her with questions about Peter's life, Lucy figures out she's in love with Jack and Jack figures out he's in love with Lucy.

[debm55]

26. Thank you very much LogDog75, I have not seen either. But your descriptions have me writing down the Movie titles. I

would love to see.

[electric_blue68]

99. Was thinking of *YGM. TY for the reminder of WYWS...

*I was actually going to see the crab apple & cherry tree blossoms in NYC's Riverside Park from 96th St to about ?93th St.

I wasn't allowed into the big walkway. On my way back out I saw ?crew, actors' hospitality cart.

They were filming YGM that day. I don't think I knew the name at that point. I recognized the scene when I saw it. 👍

[ucralum]

24. A Room with a View

Helena Bonham-Carter, Julian Sands, Daniel Day-Lewis, Denholm Elliot, Rupert Graves, Judi Dench…

[debm55]

25. Thank you very much ucralum. What a cast. Love Daniel Day-Lewis.

[CTyankee]

68. That is one of the most beautiful movies ever made! And the music: O mio babbio caro...just perfect...altho if you know

the background of that aria you would have to smile....

[applegrove]

92. Loved, loved that.

38. Thank you marble falls. I believe at one time Cary Grant was in the circus in England.

[happybird]

28. The Princess Bride

[debm55]

39. Thank you happy bird. I agree. Loved it.

[applegrove]

93. Yes. That is great.

[nocoincidences]

29. Elvira Madigan 1967

Described as the most beautiful movie ever made. It's Swedish, based on a true story.
A gazillion commercials have copied scenes from it.

[debm55]

40. Thank you nocoincidences. I went to YouTube to watch. What a beautiful movie and the music to go with it.

[CanonRay]

30. Only the Lonely

[Mike 03]

32. Oh, yeah. That one slipped my mind.

It's really kind hearted.

[debm55]

41. Thank you CanonRay. Great choice.

[Mike 03]

31. The English Patient

Not a fan of this genre, but that one affected me greatly.

If one views Reds as a romantic film, I would say that is on my list of top films too. I guess I always thought of it as a kind of historical epic.

[debm55]

42. Thank you Mike 03. Sometimes movies will mix romance in with historical parts. My choice Dr. Zhivago. did that. I think

makes for a great movie. I have never seen Reds so I can not comment on it. The English Patient did the same.

[MoonlightHillFarm]

33. Romantic Movies

Roman Holiday
An Affair to Remember

[debm55]

43. Thank you MoonlightHillFarm. Two romantic choices.

[Cirsium]

35. Reds

Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton.

Others:

The Shop Around the Corner with Margaret Sullavan and Jimmy Stewart

It Happened One Night with Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable

[debm55]

44. Thank you Cirsium for your choices.

[LakeArenal]

58. Shop Around the Corner

Another that I watch whenever it’s on. Christmas mostly.

[Cirsium]

63. Yep

I have always been fascinated by it. It is a sentimental plot but it is so well crafted; the sets, the photography, the acting and directing, the music. I love that all of the signs are in Hungarian while the dialogue is entirely in English. Even the prices and the cash register show Hungarian currency. why? Because it was filmed in Budapest. The play the movie is based on is from a Hungarian author Parfumerie by Miklòs Laszlò, and the setting reminded director Ernst Lubitsch of his childhood and his father's store in Berlin.

[debm55]

108. Thank you LakeArenal

[Niagara]

36. A have a few others but I can't recall the names of all the movies

[debm55]

I seriously relate to her punitive mother.

Later years I like Pride and Prejudice with Kiera Knightly.

Edit to add; Benny and Joon. ❣️

[debm55]

60. I'll have to watch Now Voyage. Thank you LakeArenal

79. The Sound of Music

SOMETHING GOOD LYRICS

Perhaps I had a wicked childhood,
Perhaps I had a miserable youth,
But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past,
There must have been a moment of truth.

For here you are standing there loving me
Whether or not you should.
So, somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good.

Snip

Puddles 😢

[debm55]

[surfered]

[Glorfindel]

81. Casablanca

Of the more "modern" movies, Sleepless in Seattle.

[debm55]

85. Thank you very much, Glorfindel A classic

[Jilly_in_VA]

82. Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet" probably leads the list

followed by "Moonstruck" and believe it or not, "Starman" which I don't think anyone's mentioned

[debm55]

86. Thank you very much for your selections, Jilly_in_VA. I love your selections. I don't think any mentioned "Starman"

[Junipercity]

88. Several mentioned here. But Zhivago!

Dr. Zhivago was like a life altering movie for me. I will cry for days after watching it!

Let me get back to you if I think of any not mentioned. I'm a sucker for a well written/ performed romance. ❤️

I think the last movie I dusted off to watch was a restored copy of Jean Renoir's 1939 classic "La règle du jeu". I guess that counts.

I post the wiki reference, because like Zhivago, it's more meaningful I think in its historical context.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rules_of_the_Game

[debm55]

90. Thank you Junipercity, Dr Zhivago is my favorite, A love story intermixed with historical background,

[Junipercity]

105. And what a love story!

💕

[debm55]

107. Agree.

[applegrove]

96. Much Ado About Nothing.

[debm55]

98. Thank you applegrove.

[Paladin]

100. "Sense and Sensibility" (1995)

Absolutely flawless romantic movie, in my opinion. Brilliant cast, direction, screenplay, scenery, soundtrack. Flawless.

[debm55]

103. Thank you very much Paladin.

[wnylib]

102. Ghost, Pride and Prejudice, Shakespeare in Love, and Corinna, Corinna

They all combine humor with romance.

The dialogue in Pride and Prejudice (Keira Knightly) when Elizabeth's cousin visits looking for a wife is hilarious. Dialogue throughout the film carries the story.

Ghost - The theme that love transcends death is romantic in itself. Whoop Goldberg is priceless in providing the humor.

Corinna, Corinna - Whoop Goldberg again, this time as a woman in love. Sensitive themes of death and interracial relationship balanced with humor.

Shakespeare in Love - Witty, imaginative, and a touching love story.

[debm55]

104. Thank you very much wnylib. Wonderful choices.

[catbyte]

106. Desk Set

Tracy and Hepburn and a computer that takes up the whole room, lol.

[debm55]
