Do men like romance films?


Hello movie lovers! As far as romance films go there are a few that I really like but its not my go to genre. There are mostly men on this site so I thought I would ask . . .Do men enjoy romance movies?

If you do please list your favorites!

These are mine:

* the princess bride
* groundhogs day
* moulin rouge
* while you were sleeping
* 50 first dates
* lost in translation
& Some French films nobody has heard of . . .

I actually think 50 First Dates is very sweet.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
A Walk to Remember

They is a foreign film about teenage Lesbians that I liked. I swear it’s called What is Love but I can’t seem to find it.

Figured it out! It’s called Show Me Love from 1998.

Somewhere in Time. I've got the soundtrack, which is beautiful and deep.

Which French films? I may know them as I do watch a lot French films.

Not a man, but as a woman, I can say that although I will watch some romance movies they aren't my go to genre. I much prefer horror, and action movies. I sometimes feel insulted (not by you) that romance is my gender's go to movies. I have used the term chick flick, but I don't feel it's true.

I will say that a lot of men who I have watched movies with will enjoy a well done rom com.
