My Ten Favorite Romantic Movies!

Today I want to share ten of my favorite romantic movies. For me the key to a great romantic movie is the ending. Don’t give me a Romeo and Juliet ending! I want them to be together. I want them to have their HEA. That’s a MUST. Even better is if there are some funny mishaps along the way. I love romantic comedies. Life is too stressful so when I watch a movie I want to escape. I want to laugh. I want to walk away feeling good.

So, in no particular order…

Dirty Dancing…there isn’t a woman alive who doesn’t LOVE this movie. Patrick Swayze as Johnny Castle is the ultimate bad boy with a heart of gold. I was half in love with him after this movie. 

Pretty Woman is one of those Cinderella type movies. Edward is the handsome rich guy, Vivian is a prostitute just trying to earn a living. Of course it’s a match made in heaven. LOL Sweet Home Alabama. I’ve seen this movie three times and it never gets old. I love the ending. LOVED IT. It’s so sweet, romantic, a total tear jerker. The opening, where Melanie and Jake are friends on the beach in the thunderstorm, and then the way it comes back around to that in the end. *sigh* So completely romantic…  Bridget Jones’s Diary is a movie that brings reality into a romantic comedy. Bridget is very easy to relate to with all these issues and problems. She’s one of us, and I loved seeing her get her HEA.

Just Like Heaven makes you realize that sometimes it’s just meant to be. Fate. Fight it all you want, but in the end there’s a plan and nothing you do is going to change it. It’s a sweet romance, and Reese is adorable as Elizabeth. License to Wed is almost too difficult to watch. At least for me it was. Everything goes wrong and I don’t usually go for those types of movies. But there’s a reason and it all comes together nicely.Made of Honor…what can I say? He rides into the church on a horse. Sure, he falls off, but hey! Nobody is perfect! LOL

Besides, Patrick Demsey is a cutie. 😉When Harry Met Sally. You’re missing out on a wonderful treat if you haven’t seen this movie. It’s easily one of my favorite movies of all time. Seriously, I loved these two. Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan are absolutely perfect together on screen. Jane Eyre…okay, it’s not the typical romantic movie. Nor is it a comedy. It’s different from what I usually like, but it’s timeless. A classic. I prefer the older, black and white version to the new version. Orson Welles, there’s just something about him that I find completely sexy. He’s not the usual perfect hero. He’s flawed and demanding and intense. All the things I go for! Last but not least, Did You Hear About The Morgans? This is the newest of my top ten. I admit, I loved it mostly because I love Hugh Grant. He’s so freaking cute! LOL In this movie Hugh plays a guy who screwed up pretty badly with his wife. She’s far from perfect, of course. They’re on the outs. Circumstances force them together, and of course they’re then forced to work out their differences.

Okay, that’s my top ten. Do you have a favorite romantic movie? One that makes your heart flutter every time you watch it? Tell me, because I’ll be hitting Blockbuster this weekend and I need some new stuff to sigh over. 😀
