What is your favourite romantic movie? If you guys have any. I'm not a queer or anything, but sometimes I just like to sit down with a glass of whiskey by myself(cuz im a total alcoholic & sad person) and watch a really good tragic love story or something you know? One that makes me sob like a little girl.
Everything I've said so far has been a lie, but seriously though I want some recommendations on some weird romantic movies. Some of my favourites include True Romance, Chasing Amy, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind, and Wuthering Heights(1970 version). Some of those aren't your typical love stories but they effected me that way for some reason. I mean I found True Romance to be like one of the most romantic movies ever.

If you haven't seen Garden State I would recommend seeing it. It's more of a romantic dramaish comedy, but it's a great film and definetly has the ability to make you cry.

Garden State is good. I would also recommend Arizona Dream and Badlands.

Haven't seen Arizona Dream or Badlands but I'll check em out. I hated Garden State and thought the soundtrack was way better than the movie which is pretty lame. Zach braff is such a ***************.

But I also thought Freddy got Fingered was romantic in a messed up sort of way, especially the scene when Gord flies via helicopter to see his girl(whos in a wheelchair) and 'when a man loves a woman' is playing. Pretty classic stuff. Ghost was a good one too. Patrick Swayze's my idol.

my favorite is pt anderson's punch drunk love, which i think has been hugely underrated (mostly by people who were expecting it to be a typical adam sandler comedey) .. it manages to somehow be a tragedy the entire way thru, not just in the finl act,i think its beautiful. also a HUGE fan of annie hall and manhattan. woody allen is the master at conveying romance that feels real

Yeah Punch Drunk Love is one of my favourites, too. There's a really awkward vibe going on in throughout it. PT Anderson rules. I think Boogie Nights is his best so far though.

also, altho it is not a romantic film, the love story between anthony and inez in wes anderson's bottle rocket is completley perfect

Shaun of the Dead.

Some might argue its a horror comedy, but it's really just a unique romantic comedy. It even says so on the box: "A romantic comedy. With zombies."

I'll agree with Tyler and Fash that Punch Drunk Love is immensely underrated and that PT Anderson totally rules. Magnolia is, in my opinion, the most perfect film ever created. Better than anything I have ever seen. Better than everything that will ever be.

As Good As It Gets is a fine romantic comedy.

i absolutley agree on magnolia. no film in the history of cinema can touch it

I think that's overdoing it with Magnolia. It's a very grown-up work and it's really ambitious but it's very in-your-face and a lot of people say it's indulgent of PTA. I loved it for a few years. I loved the music and the camera movements and every gesture, but now I watch something like Short Cuts (which everyone should check out) and it just seems like that movie steps back and just looks at the characters, not manipulating it too much. PTA lifts a lot from that movie and mixes it with his style and other director's styles (Altman, Scorsese) x100 in Magnolia.

Dead Poet's Society was one of the first movies to make me cry like no tomorrow. When all the students start standing up on the desks in protest to the teacher leaving, man...felt like I had glasses made out of ProMist filters.

romantic movies? I dont think so....

but for films based around reltationships Woody Allen is the man.

FACES is incredible too.

but romantic movies? No no...those tend to be bull balls

That's a bold statement Kyle. Maybe you're just not romantically inclined.

Woody Allen is good.

Oh, The Blue Lagoon was pretty good too. Brooke Shields used to be so nails.

women castrate me

Allen's Melinda and Melinda (his latest) was a clever and funny one.

I like Jerry Maguire.
And Big Fish from Tim Burton was pretty romantic at times.
