Best Romantic Movies: Top 200 Plus List

Love Stories for Men and Women

Aly Adair
I guess you could say that watching romantic movies is my favorite pastime. After all, my husband is a sports fan - all year long. The 200 plus romantic movie titles on my list are broken down by: Guy Gets the Girl Romantic Movies, Other Great Romantic Movies, Classic Romantic Movies, Tearjerker Romantic Movies, Great Animated Romantic Movies, and Honorable Mention Romantic Movies.

My criteria for these romantic movies making the Best Romantic Movies list is whether the movie was good enough that I wanted to watch it more than once. Believe it or not, I have seen every movie on this list more than once. I may have left some off that I forgot I watched. LOL. The romantic movie titles with an asterisk by the title are movies that I have seen at least five times, making them my favorite romantic movies ever. My brother once asked what my favorite romantic movie is. That is a tough one, but I would have to say all versions of Pride and Prejudice.

    To Jenny and Mary, the movie you guys are talking about is called This Time Around. It's an ABC Family Original Movie that came out in 2003. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Time_Around_(film)

  • Mary 6/1/2010

    I know the movie your talking about Jenny, I trying to find out what the name is too!!

  • ??? 1/20/2010

    Wicker Park is a good one!!!

  • Jenny 1/3/2010

    Right I'm trying to remember the name of a film! Please help as this is starting to drive me nuts! I don't know who stars in it but guessing it could be anywhere between 7-10 years old. They went to school together, him and his friends bullied/humiliated her and her friend. Later on in the film they somehow meet again, him and his friend from school are starting up their own restaurant, she may be in the restaurant/building/reporter business. Her best friend is an/a obsese/chubby ginger girl. A line from end of film from best friend to him. 'you made our lives hell' he replies 'people/I can/do/have change(d)'
