100 Best Romantic Movies


Hey everyone,

I was looking to compile a list of the 100 best romantic movies. This is what I have come up with so far:
http://www.imdb.com/rg/s/1/list/ls056378525/

I was hoping you all could give your opinions about the list and more importantly suggest some movies that you feel should be counted among the top 100 Romantic movies.

*Notable (notable in terms of what I've seen on many websites) omissions on my part are
1) Annie Hall
2) Breakfast at TIffany's

Also, please feel free to suggest non-English movies as well.

Hey thanks so much for the recommendations. I have seen all of your top ten except for 2: Indecent Proposal and Wuthering Heights (1992).

I was just wondering if you had seen other major versions of Wuthering Heights and if you believed that the 1992 one is in fact the best.

Wuthering Heights (2011)
Wuthering Heights (2009)
Wuthering Heights (1998)
Wuthering Heights (1992)
Wuthering Heights (1939)

You are more than welcome. I hope it worked for you and hey you inspired to transform that top 10 into a whole Romance series
here the link so you can start seeing it

On Wuthering Heights I've seen three versions one from the 70s with Timothy Dalton, one from 09 with Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley and the 1992 which is on my list and from the three I've seen the one I liked the most is definitely the 1992 version.

I read the book and this one (1992 version) is the one which got closer to the novel and Ralph and Juliette Binoche are difinitley my favorite Heathcliff and Cathy though the 09 version is pretty good too and the main actors were perfectly fine it's just I didn't like how they handled Cathy's death.

if there is still space for more

The Thomas Crown affair there are two versions and both versions are great

1999 version with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo
1968 version with Faye Dunaway and Steve McQueen


i slighly poerfer the 90s version since it has a better peace and i like the ending better but the 60s version is worth seeing too
