Everyone enjoys a good romance film, whether they admit it or not. From The Fault in Our Stars to The Notebook, Hollywood has mastered the art of plucking at our emotions with swoon-worthy narratives. No doubt these are just some of the countless romance movies available. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most beautiful, heartbreaking, passionate, and sentimental films ever made.
1. An Officer And A Gentleman
While Pretty Woman is a true rom-com classic, this Richard Gere drama about a young man finishing his navy pilot school takes a more mature approach to love and human development. You’ll thank us later if you keep Kleenex on hand.
2. Breakfast At the Tiffany’s
The pearls, the Givenchy LBD, and the iconic ‘do—this classic is worth watching just for Audrey Hepburn’s (Holly Golightly) amazing style. But there’s a lot more to this narrative based on Truman Capote’s classic novella: comedy, romance, and luxurious Upper East Side locations.
3. Blue Valentine
Some romances are built for cuddling up with your significant other and confirming your love. Others, such as this one, are better watched on their own (or with your besties). Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams star in this poignant portrait of marriage and heartbreak.
4. Before Sunrise
Jesse, an American male, meets Celine, a French woman while traveling by train in Europe. He intends to spend his final hours in Europe before returning to the United States with her.
5. The Fault In Our Stars
Hazel and Augustus, two cancer-stricken youngsters, meet at a cancer support group. They set out on a voyage to Amsterdam to see a reclusive novelist.
6. To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before
To All the Boys is a trilogy of American teen romance films based on Jenny Han’s trilogy of novels of the same name. The plot revolves around Lara Jean Song-Covey (Condor), a bashful adolescent who writes five letters—ones she never intended to send—to boys she has had feelings on. The films depict her experiences after the young guys get the letters.
7. Moving Inn
Gabriela Diaz, a corporate executive, joins a contest to win an inn viewing New Zealand’s farmland after a break-up. She discovers The Bellbird Valley Farm lacking in curb appeal after thousands of flight miles, but she is ready to refurbish it.
