Oops. Thanks for pointing that boo boo out. I must have been thinking of Jane Eyre, another classic. I fixed it in the text. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! :>

Pride And Prejudice (Reply to this comment)
by mikalgarvi
Pride And Prejudice is based on the book by Jane Austen, NOT Charlotte Bronte. I'm very surprised I'm the first to point this out... I would have thought that was something generally known...

Thanks, Nick. I think Stanwyck and Bacall have so much sex appeal they blow away anything I can think of currently, so that's how come I have them on my list. YMMV

Can't disagree with any of these... (Reply to this comment)
by NFP
...though I fail to see how film noir classics like Double Indemnity and The Big Sleep fall into the romance category. Yes, film noir has a twist on romance, but they are are primarily vehicles for dark suspense and intrigue, not romance like so many of hte others you picked. I would placde them in a separate category of their own.
cheers, nick

Ahoy! (Reply to this comment)
by smorg
Great list, Gdawg! ;o) There's something very seductive about the older romantic films indeed. I guess it's like the Hitchcock horror films. They let us use our imagination, while most films nowadays don't. There're some rare gems, tho.
Anyhow! Thanks for another good read, bro!
Cheers,
Smorgy :o)

Is romance dead? Yes, I guess so. None of the women today can match the old screen idols. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! :>

Is romance dead? (Reply to this comment)
by vicfar
All your movies are 50 years !
I think The Bridges of Madison County and The Remains of the Day are much more watchable nowadays than most of the ones you mention.
I couldn't take another showing of Casablanca unless someone pointed a gun to my head!
Perhaps romance has changed its face a bit...

That's another good one to add to the list. I saw it too long ago to really remember. Thanks for the reminder, Paul!

How about SOMEWHERE IN TIME (Reply to this comment)
by colonialpara
This was a combination of romance and fantasy and when I first saw it in 1980, I was immediately captured by the story.
It is especially poignant now that Chris Reeve has passed away.
Some many call it a chick flick, but it actually has a very active fan club called INSITE for International Network of Somewhere In Time Ehthusiasts.
George, I recommend it to you.

Wuthering Heights (Reply to this comment)
by Horswispr
was one of those novels I was forced to read in High School and surprised myself because I actually liked it. I don't think I ever saw the movie, though.

Great list... (Reply to this comment)
by JiggyJay, in Movies
EXCEPT where is The Notebook?!?!?!?!? Ha just kidding, but for the record, I totally agree with you on Casablanca. It's my personal favourite romantic movie and one of the best films ever shot.

Yep, "Double Indemnity" is one of my favorites. I think Bogart could make a whole top ten list. "Dark Passage" is good, too, as you mentioned.

Long on the (Reply to this comment)
by Stephen_Murray, in Movies
doomed loves. I especially like inclusion of "Double Indemnity."
I love all three Bogart-Bacall teamings. The most deliriously romantic is "Dark Passage," which also has the great stumble through the San Francisco night sequence.

great list (Reply to this comment)

I would have picked a different Audrey Hepburn movie, but she is at the top of my list for classy actresses from the golden age of film.
