For what? his final lines to Ilsa ?? another list has this great top 20 listWhat are your favourites?? | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

| | Posted: | | | | I'm not sure I can come up with a top ten, but I can't believe "Defending Your Life" hasn't been mentioned yet!
So, in no particular order, I would probably say
Defending Your Life
Something's Gotta Give
Two Weeks Notice
In Her Shoes (I actually think this is Cameron Diaz' best role to date!)
Bend it Like Beckham (While romantic, it's also fun - and I really love the way it deals with the cultural differences)
Down to Earth (A comedy, I know - but still romantic)
Dave
Just Married
Lost in Translation

| | Posted: | | | | I'm not that big of a "romantic movie" person per se, but of the one's I've actually seen and enjoyed (and can even think of!): Ever After Just Write Just One of the Guys My Chauffeur Nobody's Perfect Pretty in Pink Some Kind of Wonderful The Polar Bear King The Princess Bride Titanic I guess some of those are technically more just "comedy", but they have romantic elements to them. ...I'll leave out Nekromantik and Beyond the Darkness. j/k  | | | | Corey |
