To me it was him trying to get her to hook up with him and how he tried to get her even though it took him time to realize that she was the one he

wanted to have. Remember the restaruant scene when he tells her that she made him feel like a man for the first time in his life?

Brokeback Mountain

Ugh. I liked it but 30 minutes could have EASILY been removed to make it a bit more enjoyable. Fuck that movie just dragged on and on.

I think the best romantic film of all times: The Notebook or Meet Joe Black (also a movie that could have had 30 minutes shaved off of it).

i think the guy can act but since pirattes a lot more people are going "ARGH johnny depp, oh he's so gorgeous" and none of these young girls think about his acting talent, so i guess the wet knicker parade for johnny depp has changed my mind about him.

I'm not keen on Romantic films esp. Hollywood slushy films. Although before i'm jumped on I hate English films with a passion apart from Classics like Jane Austen and Dickens..anyone who doesn't like Austen or Dickens I strenuously avoid

but hey enough about moi!

Err.. I remember a film called Marty I 'think' Enrnest Borgnine was playing Marty. It was very moving. I like old films.

Great Expectations is surely the best Romantic Film...it ticks all the boxes for me anyway..the myserious Estella. In fact Pip used to be my username.

Three Coins in the Fountain


This typical early 1950s romance story has all of the "desk set" elements (found only in romantic dime novels): 3 American secretaries in Rome are searching for "meaning in life", hoping to find it in marriage. The desired suiters are equally "fairy tale-like", including a Prince (played by Frenchman Louis Jourdan), a handsome full-blooded Italian (epitemized by Rossano Brazzi) and a distinguished Englishman (played by Clifton Webb).

Old fashioned values are running rampant in this film. A "working girl" planning to marry was expected to leave her job to tend to full-time housework. Dating was a "no-no", branding a woman a "bad girl". Double-standards across the board. It definitely was a "man's world".

Love Story

Love Story is a 1970 romantic drama film written by Erich Segal coordinated with his 1970 best-selling novel. It was directed by Arthur Hiller. The film, well-known as a tear-jerking tragedy, is considered one of the most romantic of all time by the American Film Institute (#9 on the list), and was followed by a sequel, Oliver's Story in 1978. Love Story starred Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal and also marked the film debut of a then-unknown Tommy Lee Jones, who played a minor role in the film.

It's about two people who love each other very much, and are able to be together and accept each other no matter how crazy (and perhaps brutal) the other is. It's one of those movies where the bad guys are also the good guys and they get away and the viewer is left to hope that they live happily ever after. That's the love I want. Also, the NIN song in the movie isn't "Something I Can Never Have" it's "Burn."

The French Lieutenant's Woman

The French Lieutenant's Woman is a 1981 film directed by Karel Reisz and adapted by playwright Harold Pinter. It is based on the novel of the same title by John Fowles. The music score is by Carl Davis and the cinematography by Freddie Francis.

The film stars Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons with Hilton McRae, Jean Faulds, Peter Vaughan, Colin Jeavons, Liz Smith, Patience Collier, Richard Griffiths, David Warner, Alun Armstrong, Penelope Wilton and Leo McKern.

The plot concerns the love affair between a Victorian gentleman and a woman who has been jilted by a French officer, scandalizing the "polite society" of Lyme Regis.

Instead of trying to create a literal translation of the novel's alternate endings, Pinter's screenplay adopted a more cinematic approach by revealing a story within a story - showing the lives of the actors who portray Fowles' characters. The characters' story ends one way, the actors' another

Man, that sounds like hell. Being so emotionally dependent on someone that you'll stay with him no matter how abusive the he gets. I know those lyrics I put there weren't the name of the song. I just didn't know the name, but I figured you'd know what song I meant with those lyrics.

in all seriousness, i reckon brokeback mountain is the best romantic movie i've seen. purely out of how convincing it was, other love movies i didn't really feel like they loved each other that much, or that the odds were that bad or anything. and the man love wasn't nearly as graphic as i thought it would be, so that was a relief.

before i get called gay, i watched it with my gf, and during the sex scenes i buried my head in her glorious cleavage. cos i <3 vaginas.
