- The Princess Bride. Yes, it is the story of true love between a girl and a farm boy who will wade through all forms of troubled waters to be with each other.
- Say Anything... Cameron Crowe's directorial debut tackled what would, by most standards, be considered a cliché romance: the average, somewhat popular guy going after the ultimate girl next door.
- Love Actually. You're going to hear about this title A LOT in the next coming days as every reviewer and their grandmother is going to use it as their base to judge Valentine's Day.
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Much like romantic comedies have been generally geared towards the womenfolk, science fiction is largely targeted towards guys, and there really isn't ever any crossover.

- Stardust
- Lars and The Real Girl

Director:Tim Burton After Timothée Chalamet’s Edgar Scissorhands commercial, it is only apt that we bring Edward Scissorhands back into conversation again. This is one of my favourite performances from Johnny Depp, who brings much depth and complexity to an outsider like Edward Scissorhands. With a modern day fairy tale vibe to it, Burton’s film fo...
Director:Richard Linklater Richard Linklater’s Before Sunsetis the second movie in a trilogy of films following the lives of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy). The pair had a happenstance meeting on a train in Vienna, where they decide to spend some time in the city together before they head back to their respective countries. Before Sun...
Director:Matthew Vaughn It’s no easy business adapting a Neil Gaiman novel, but Vaughn’s Stardust does a competent and faithful job. It is a romance, but it’s also a fantasy adventure film, so it’s a strong contender for those who can’t bear a film built solely around romance. The film is about Tristan (Charlie Cox), who in an effort to win the hea...
Director:Craig Gillespie Out of all the Ryan Gosling romance films, I guess this choice is a bit out of left field. I am not saying I don’t love Crazy, Stupid, Love, or The Notebook, I just think Lars and the Real Girl hits a little closer to home, that underneath its absurdities it paints the fragility of the human heart. Lars (Gosling) lives in t...
Director:Lee Toland Krieger I know that Palm Springs was on everyone’s radar last year, but it is not the only Andy Samberg rom-com worth watching. Samberg was also in Celeste & Jesse Forever, where he played the titular Jesse, who married Rashida Jones’ Celeste when they were very young. However, now that they are older, they feel like they have d...
Director:Richard Curtis Listen, I love About Time just as much as the next person, but I never knew just how beloved it was until I asked the men of Twitter, and this movie was the most frequent answer. Maybe because the main protagonist is a man, played by the ever charming Domhnall Gleeson, or maybe it’s because the movie has Rachel McAdams in it...
Director:Yorgos Lanthimos I am surprised to not see The Lobster on more romance movie lists, but then again, it’s Lanthimos, so it isn’t always the most accessible type of film. As far as weird movies go, this is pretty much up there, surpassing even the absurdity of Lars and the Real Girl. I’m not even sure it can count as a romance, since it seem...
Director:Ben Palmer Simon Pegg as a rom-com leading man is something we need more of. Much like John Hannah in Sliding Doors, there is just something charming about a confident, witty man. Pegg’s character Jack is supposed to meet a woman for a blind date; he has no idea who she is, just that they would both be holding the same book. So when he see...
Director:Jeff Chan and Andrew Rhymer I will keep adding Plus One to any romance list (or regular list) I craft until everyone recognises how good it is. Admittedly, the premise is not the most unique of situations, we saw it recently emulated in Netflix’s Holidate. Friends Alice (Maya Erskine) and Ben (Jack Quaid) are at that point in their lives w...
Director:Chad Hartigan Little Fishis already one of my favourite movies of the year. It is reminiscent of the melancholic sentiments of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, dealing with the loss of memory and the void of a person you become after. In Little Fish, we are told that a memory-erasing virus is sweeping the world. There is no news as t...
- Dirty Dancing (1987) Set in 1963 but oh-so-’80s in its idea of hairstyles and heartthrobs, this sexy summer-camp romance defied its critics to become a classic.
- Trouble in Paradise (1932) In this gold-standard screwball caper comedy, a gentleman thief, a lady pickpocket and a Parisian heiress form an elegant triangle, the preferred shape of Ernst Lubitsch — that sublime architect of romantic instability — who loved to test how seemingly solid couples might respond to a good romantic upset.
- Splash (1984) A man falls in love with a mermaid: What could be simpler, or sweeter, than that? Yet Tom Hanks, in the movie that made him a movie star, does not go lightly into his communion with a woman who’s half-fish.
- The Bridges of Madison County (1995) Amid a career of macho performances, Clint Eastwood tapped into his sensitive side to deliver one of his most indelible characters in Robert Kincaid, a National Geographic photographer on assignment in Iowa, who stops by a farmhouse to ask for directions.
