Some of the ones my wife and I particularly like:

As Good as It Gets
Barefoot in the Park
Groundhog Day
Notting Hill
Pride and Prejudice (1995)
Always
Prelude to a Kiss
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
Jane Eyre (1973)
Only the Lonely

We have seen all of the above more than just a couple of times.  Highly recommend all of them.

I liked Only the Lonely with John Candy, Maureen O'Hara and Anthony Quinn.. This film was a comeback film for Maureen as she hadn't done any mainstream films since the late sixties.. And what a treat it was to see her and Quinn together.
In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

Ok, I can't stand it anymore being it looks like everyone may be afraid to give the wrong impression. And to clarify, I am 100% hetero. This movie is just to good (when viewed with an open mind) to not be on here.


Brokeback Mountain

There I did it. And BTW, it's more of a "gut wrenching, heart breaking love story" than a "romantic" movie.

Which, BTW does not make for a good "Romantic" movie. 

Just teasing!

1. Bram Stoker's "Dracula" by Francis Ford Coppola. Greatest love story of all time!

And a close second; True Romance

3. Leaving Las Vegas

4. As Good As It Gets

5. Amélie

(all I can think of right now - good love stories are hard to come by)..

True love conquers all!

Ok, now that we're in the territory, how about:

Boys On The Side - both the message and music are touching, and a lot of good performances.

No love for It Happened One Night? For shame, people. For shame.

My nine picks for joint second place would be:
Shaun of the Dead (A romantic comedy with zombies!)
Love, Actually (10 rom-coms all rolled into one)
Moulin Rouge (If only because it has two straight guys singing "Like a Virgin" as a duet, and making it sound like that's exactly what it was meant to be)
The Iron Giant (A love story between a boy and his robot)
Metropolis (An actual love story between a boy and a robot)
Roman Holiday (Way more romantic than Breakfast at Tiffanies)
Logan's Run (According to Ross Geller, "the sexiest movie ever". And you know what? He's right.)
The Trouble with Harry (Hitchcock's least Hitchcockian movie)
The Princess Bride (Yes, it's obvious, but there you go)
City Lights (Charlie Chaplain woos a blind girl)

(edited to replace the joke entry with a serious one)

What about Bollywood movies? My wife and daughter love them, especially those with SRK as leading actor.
