Romance movie/tv?

Can anyone suggest a good movie or show he is the star in as a romantic lead? I have seen him in so many things and he always has great chemistry with his costars, but yet to see an actual romance result between him and another character on screen. Now that I thhink about it, I think the only kiss I have seen him deliver is the *fake* one between him and Molly on Sherlock.

It doesn't necessarily have to be strictly romance.

And may I add, I am going to miss having the imdb boards to ask these type of questions to a specific audience who has same interests (in this case Cumberbatch). :-/ Shame, imdb, shame.

Thanks!

THANK YOU! I have netflix USA. I am craving some Cumberbatch tonight so I will look into one of those. :-)

Also, Parades End is on amazon prime and we have that too! I'm assuming you think Parade's End is better since you bought it?

[–] julaerenee 7 years ago

Well, they're both good in their way. Very different productions!

I bought Parade's End because it was easy (off the rack at Target when first released.) I've always been able to watch TTEOTE on Netflix so I haven't tried to buy that one.

Oh Okay. Well I think based on synopsis I will start with Parade's End and then the other. Thank you again for the suggestions. :)

You're welcome! I hope he makes another romantic movie soon!

Even though I loved it, I wouldn't say that To the Ends of the Earth is romantic. But Parade's End definitely is!

I wouldn't say that To the Ends of the Earth is romanticAbsolutely correct. I wouldnt suugest that movie to anyone in a mood to watch a romantic movie. It takes place on a ship, with bits about sea-sickness, living with little access to water and etc other claustrophobic stuff, not to mention the... yeah, not gonna mention that other stuff.
