My List of The Most Romantic Movies of All-Time
In honour of yesterday’s Valentine’s Day celebrations, I made a list of some of my favourite romantic movies of all-time; in absolutely no order of any kind. Most are heart-wrenching love stories, some are just good Hollywood fun.
Gone With The Wind
Best line: “No, I don’t think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.”
Love Story
Best line: “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”
An Affair To Remember
Best line: “The Empire State Building is the closest thing to heaven in this city.”
When Harry Met Sally
Best line: “Men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.”
It Happened One Night
Best line: “I want to see what love looks like when it’s triumphant. I haven’t had a good laugh in a week.”
Princess Bride
Best line: “Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.”
Tristan and Isolde
Best line: “You were right. I don’t know if life is greater than death. But love was more than either.”
Last of the Mohicans (WARNING: Ending spoiler – don’t watch unless you’ve seen it! Oh, and it’s also quite violent too. )
Best line: “Take me!”
Love Actually
Best line: “But you know, the thing about romance is… people only get together right at the very end.”
Moulin Rouge
Best line: “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.”
The English Patient
Best line: “I promise, I’ll come back for you. I promise, I’ll never leave you.”
Romeo & Juliet
Best Line: “Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.”
Wuthering Heights (Some fabulous person has put the entire movie on YouTube – watch it before it’s taken down.)
Best line: “I am Heathcliff! He’s always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.”
The Notebook
Best line: “I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you everyday for a year.”
Iris (Another kind soul has posted *almost* the entire movie.)
Best line: “There is only one freedom of any importance, freedom of the mind.”
Away From Her
Best line: “I never wanted to be away from her.”
Evita
Best line: “I’d be surprisingly good for you.”
What Dreams May Come
Best line: “What’s true in our minds is true, whether some people know it or not.”
The End of An Affair (Another full YouTube movie!)
Best line: “Love doesn’t end, just because we don’t see each other.”
Adele got it right, “Sometimes it lasts in love, sometimes it hurts instead.” Excuse me while I go cry in a ball in the corner…
