Rom-coms are the most popular genre of film. They are designed to make the audience laugh and cry while watching them.
Romantic movies have been around since the early 1900s. The first romantic movie ever made was The Kiss, released in 1896. It is a silent film that lasts only two minutes but is still considered to be a classic.
The best romantic films can still hit you even if you aren’t a massive fan of those kinds of movies. The most enjoyable romance films are those that you can re-watch.
Some movie scenes are so famous that they have transcended pop culture and are now a part of how we live and think about love, whether it is Rose saying farewell to Jack in Titanic or the rain kissing scene in The Notebook.
What millennial, after all, hasn’t compared their union to that of Allie and Noah?
We adore romantic films so much that we’d rush through the rain to see a sincere confession of love. In the end, playing an acoustic guitar is more straightforward than penning a love song.
And are you aware of how difficult it is today to persuade security at airports to let your past so you may propose to someone just before they board a plane? Thank you for the rain; we’ll take it.
Therefore, picture us adequately saturated in the most excellent, most satisfyingly cliché way as we confess that we enjoy all of this.
The list of best romantic movies is subjective to the person’s taste and preference.The following movies are the ones that have been appreciated by the audience and critics alike.
Titanic (1997)
James Cameron is the director, writer, co-producer, and co-editor of the 1997 American epic romance and disaster movie The Titanic.
The RMS Titanic disaster is fictionally depicted in the movie. It features Gloria Stuart as Old Rose, Danny Nucci as Fabrizio De Rossi, Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater, Billy Zane as Caledon Hockley, and Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson.
The film centers on Rose’s relationship with Jack and her struggle in society amidst pressure from her mother.
This is because they are excellent, period films with witty dialogue, complex characters, and gripping stories that may even make them seem genuine.
The Notebook (2004)
The Notebook is a romantic drama movie from 2004 based on the same-titled Nicholas Sparks book from 1996.
The movie was directed by Nick Cassavetes, whereas Jeremy Leven wrote it. And adapted from the well-known novel of the same title by Nicholas Sparks.
The movie features Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as a couple who fall in love in the 1940s.
The U.S. audience said that this is one of those movies that you will remember for a long time because it will touch your heart with its emotional story about love, family, and commitment.
The young couples in the Nick Cassavetes-helmed film are Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.
Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams starred in the love drama The Notebook, which was released in 2004 as a young couple.
The Fault In Our Stars (2014)
“The Fault in Our Stars” is a movie about cancer, even if it’s rightly labeled as an adolescent romance.
Cancer serves as the punchline to the movie’s most biting gags, the attraction that first drew its star-crossed lovers together, and the force that eventually causes the plot to start squeezing its audience’s tear ducts like water balloons in a pressure cooker.
It, therefore, treads a fine line between heartfelt sensitivity and crude exploitation throughout its running time. The fact that it primarily manages to be on the good side of that line has to depict it as a success.
This Fox melodrama is intelligently acted, particularly by Shailene Woodley, who has never been finer and is more soulful than most movies geared toward teenagers.
Casablanca (1942)
1942 released American romantic drama film Casablanca was directed by Michael Curtiz and is based upon an unproduced or unstaged drama play titled Everybody Comes To Rick’s crafted by Murray Burnett and Joan Alison.
In 1944, Casablanca took home three Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
On its 1998 list of the top 100 American movies, the American Film Institute gave Casablanca the top spot.
Gone with The Wind (1939)
The Civil War is depicted emotively in “Gone with the Wind,” where the “Old South” stands in for Camelot, and the conflict was fought more for Miss Scarlett O’Hara’s revenge than to overthrow the Confederacy and free the slaves.
But we always knew that; the contaminated nostalgia is par for the course. Simply said, “GWTW” is still a towering monument of cinema as it approaches its anniversary because it tells a good story and does so superbly.
Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
The movie is about a poor boy in India who, by chance, becomes a participant in the Indian version of the popular TV reality quiz game show named “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” As Jamal tells the show host about his life, the story is recounted in flashbacks.
