Have to agree with Somewhere in Time. Sweet. Sweet. Sweet. And this is totally hokey, but Jerry McGuire. How can you not love..."you complete me..."? *sniff* -

"Sleepless in Seattle", "Something's Gotta Give", "Dr. Zhivago", "Somewhere in Time", even "Splash" are better than most pics on your list.
List was mostly unimaginative..... -

In Response to Re: Your favorite romantic movies?:OK, it's technically a mini-series, and as great as it is this entry owes a lot of its weight to the book it's based on, but 1995's Masterpiece Theatre version of Pride and Prejudice, with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, is one of my all-time favorite romantic films.

You are SO right. Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy is perfection. -

Only on Boston.com would Wall-E or Brokeback Mountain appear on this list rather than 'Love Jones'.
I'm not going to get into it. *sighs* -

Somewhere in Time didn't end well. Neither did Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet. The Truth About Cats and Dogs teased some femininity out of Janeanne Garofalo. -

I agree. Sleepless in Seattle is a beautiful
, entertaining story. Top FIVE!
PC in TX
In Response to Re: Your favorite romantic movies?:..WHAT ABOUT 'SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE'?....DEFINITELY SHOULD BE IN THE TOP 10! AND THE SELECTION OF THE MUSIC IS ENOUGH TO ENDEAR IT FOR.

Can't believe no one mentioned Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Should be in at least top 20.
Other favorities, Roxanne, Before Sunrise, Annie Hall,the Apartment
and Play it Again Sam.
All of these were funny as well as romantic. -
Yes, Out of Africa was great

And I also forgot a another great MS movie; FALLING IN LOVE with DiNeroAnd another great love movie with Dinero is STANLEY AND IRIS with Fonda which reminds me, ON GOLDEN POND, The best love story!Someone mentioned 4 WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL. Great movie, but It doesn't come across romantic to me.In Response to Re: Your favorite romantic movies?:I too loved Murphy's Romance, but not sure if it would make the top 20. Out of Africa is my absolute favorite!!! Moonstruck is also a favorite. As for the Boston.com's selections, I just have to say Wall-E? Really?!?!?

Just peaking in from the sports and music boards. Let me add two:
1. Roman Holiday.
2. Rocky. Think about it. Yes, the boxing part of the plot is the main part of the story. However, the romance between Rocky and Adrian is such a big part of the character and movie too. It's as much a love story between Rocky and Adrian as it is the boxing movie. -

I think The Remains of the Day is a great story about unfulfilled love. -

Jaws - a touching fable about a man and the shark who loves him.
(This movie might just be my default for every future 'listicle' such as this.)
