SIDEWAYS? A romantic movie? I don't think I agree.
Besty did a great job.
My list:
ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND
THE HOLIDAY
ENCHANTED
THE PALM BEACH STORY
SOPHIE'S CHOICE
BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY
FRENCH LIEUTENANT'S WOMAN
CABARET (a weird kind of romantic)
THE FAMILY STONE
SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (Brannagh's version)

Oh, God, how could I forget MOONSTRUCK. Cher at her absolute best.
EDIT:
I need to add a few epic romantic musicals, my favorite:
THE KING & I (I can't get through "Shall We Dance?" without having a smile printed on my face through the whole thing)
THE SOUND OF MUSIC
WEST SIDE STORY

i still have my VHS...I don't think anything beats watching Bogie pull that boat through the muck for true love...and when he makes his last request to marry her...swoon... SPOLIER ALERT!!
And then of course, Huston gives us the deus ex machina of the floating torpedoes...such a great movie!

I watched When Harry Met Sally last night and I am speechless.
It was HILARIOUS!! I can't believe I hadn't seen it before. It's definitely gettting added to my collection.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Tonight: Moonstruck.
Hope it's good...

SOPHIE'S CHOICE? A good movie, and all that, but I've seen autopsy footage more romantic.

Posted: 3/10/08 at 4:20pmOkay, SOPHIE'S CHOICE is not a romantic film the way MOONSTRUCK or WHEN HARRY MET SALLy are, but Nathan and Sophie's romance is so raw and true and intense, I think their romance is epic. Stingo's idealized view of Sophie is quite romantic as well. I looooove the romantic aspects of this film.
