Title: Best Romantic Films
Post by: Paint Your Wagon on March 04, 2010, 11:09:41 PM: I watched yesterday the 1968 version of the film of the play by Shakespeare

Romeo and Juliet

In this version Juliet takes a potion that makes her look dead and Romeo finds her
and takes a real poison and when Juliet wakes up and finds dead Romeo she
puts a dagger thru her heart

It is a lot better then the version where the maid childkeeper is hassled by the Montagues
and falsely goes tell Juliet that Romeo is dead

And yes I have seen Love Story half a dozen times
Any more good nominations for a first place ?

"When a Man Loves a Woman" is fascinating because it explores the meaning of true love with it's challenges.

As for romantic movies I would be at a loss as they don't have much impact on my brain any longer. Now a good western, well thats a horse of a different color!

Whoopie Goldberg was not overly romantic, but she sure was hilarious in that movie.
