Best love movies?

[Incongruous]

I would strongly recomend Becoming Jane.

[Lemur]

I'll second Becoming Jane. I can handle chick flicks when they are period pieces, and faithful to the period. That way my brain can engage with it as a historical film rather than a romcom. Check out the BBC's versions of Jane Austen for very highbrow chick flicks.

Any man who likes Love, Actually needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Do you also enjoy musical theater? Do you watch a lot of Bravo TV? Is your house/apartment tastefully decorated? Are you a very good dancer?

Just askin'.

I'll agree with period pieces as well. Paying attention to the historical aspects makes it easier to swallow the romantic stuff.

I know these are supposed to be rhetorical questions, but I just can't help myself....

Any man who likes Love, Actually needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Do you also enjoy musical theater?

Some, actually. I cheerfully admit to enjoying The Music Man, The Sound of Music, and Moulin Rouge. Indeed, I'm probably the only heterosexual male in the Western Hemisphere that will admit to owning a copy of the latter.

Do you watch a lot of Bravo TV?

Only when reruns of The West Wing are on. Otherwise, no.

Is your house/apartment tastefully decorated?

Only if numerous stacks of books, Lego space sets, and classic Transformer figures posed all over my bookshelf count as "tasteful".

Are you a very good dancer?

Gods, no. I'm as uncoordinated as every other white American male.

Nope, you have company.

Beirut is right about The Notebook, but it's entirely a chick movie.

Casablanca goes without saying, but my favourites of the romantic genre (and I make no apology for being a sucker for this stuff) are:

Somewhere in Time
Joe versus the Volcano
Shakespeare in Love
Bridges of Madison County
Breakfast at Tiffanys
Robin and Marion (look it up - it's a real gem)

and Emma (the Gwyneth Paltrow version).

And yes, Lemur, I dress immaculately.

According to my wife, anyway.

[Ser Clegane]

Robin and Marion (look it up - it's a real gem)

seconded - this was a very pleasant surprise when I saw it for the first time.

Among other favorites would be

Harold and Maude (I assume that one qualifies)
The Piano
The Remains of the Day

Probably missed something...
