wow

I think I've just fallen in love with

you all over again welcome to Ms Mojo

and today we're counting down our picks

for the top 100 greatest romance movies

of all time so without further ado

just breathe for this list we'll be

looking at the most romantic films in

history we'll be focusing on live action

flicks so sorry to all you Beauty and

the Beast fans out there watch out for

spoilers and let us know if we missed

any of your favorite love fests in the

comments below

[Music]

number 100 set it up we've arguably been

in a bit of a rom-com drought of late so

we have to appreciate the good ones when

they come and 2018 set it up was

definitely a high point in a sea of lows

it is in my possession I got this

hello are you okay I'm fine no I'm

talking to my pizza Glenn Powell and Zoe

Deutsch are assistants who team up to

try and make their bosses less High

Strung by getting them together of

course while playing Matchmaker the two

end up falling in love themselves love

despite thing when you know they're all

these

um

like all these reasons why it shouldn't

work out what really pushes set it up

over the edge is the undeniable

chemistry between Powell and Deutsch the

energy between them leaps off the screen

in a way that reminds us of the rom-com

pairings of yore and we're here for it

you are

unbelievably bad at beer pong

you're a sore winner and you use too

many exclamation points

and yet

[Music]

number 99 the princess switch Vanessa

Hutchins has been such a comforting

constant in our lives for so long first

with the High School Musical franchise

and later by becoming the queen of

Netflix holiday Fair the most important

film from that second category is

without a doubt 2018's the princess

switch

oh

who are you Hutchins embodies both Stacy

and Lady Margaret to identical looking

people leading opposite lives they trade

places and love blooms I was worried

about this

the wedding about

Who You Are

after today

I'm not worried anymore

Prince Charming the romantic comedy was

so successful it spawned not one but two

sequels in those Hutchins got to flex

her chops further by adding a third

character lady Fiona to the mix the

truth is I've always wanted to be you

just got carried away this time there's

no denying the trilogy is great fun we

have to say though nothing quite beats

the charm of the original I guess

Christmas wishes really do come true

number 98 the lovebirds sometimes love

needs a little action and Chaos

the lovebirds features Issa Ray and

Kamil nanjiani as a couple who witness a

murder freak out and go on the run while

looking for answers the movie has a real

chaotic Flair to it and Rey and nanjiani

played that aspect up perfectly but in

addition the pair have a very natural

chemistry

[Music]

their relationship is in a rough spot at

the beginning of the story and they

actually break up before we get to the

murder plot as time goes on the wild

things they go through bring them closer

together it's a fun watch containing

just the right amount of absurdity while

remaining grounded where it counts I

like them

I don't think they should break up

number 97 her there's just something

about the color in her The Pastels and

soft Hues add an extra level of

Romanticism to the already achingly

lovely film Spike Jones's sci-fi romance

features Joaquin Phoenix as a

professional letter writer Who falls in

love with an AI named Samantha oh God

see so many things

I guess that's what I love most about it

you know she isn't just one thing

so much larger than that oh thanks

Theodore Phoenix delivers a quieter

performance than he's usually known for

and it's lovely but the real standout of

the film is Scarlett Johansson as the

voice of Samantha we don't really have

any photographs of us and

I thought this song could be

like

a photograph

captures Us in this moment in our lives

together we never see the actress but

her inflections and choices make it feel

as though she's more than just a

disembodied voice her chemistry with

Phoenix comes through loud and clear

this in turn makes the story as a whole

feel extra credible elevating the

finished product where are you going

a mirror to explain

oh

but if you ever get there

come find me

nothing would ever pull us apart Number

96 Edward Scissorhands

[Music]

snow never seemed so romantic Tim

Burton's Edward Scissorhands is an

unexpectedly tender film Edward a

Frankenstein's monster-like creature

with scissors for hands is informally

adopted by a family and develops

feelings for Kim the daughter

oh

the film has all the style and Panache

of a Burton movie but the core story is

one of great love and loneliness Edward

and Kim find a connection that's not

based on superficiality but something a

bit deeper and more special of course

this movie comes with a side of tragedy

but that doesn't take away from its

romantic soul

[Music]

number 95 Punch Drunk Love who would

have thought that Adam Sandler could

embody a true blue romantic lead the

answer is Paul Thomas Anderson

apparently and it's a good thing in

Punch Drunk Love Sandler plays the

socially anxious Berry Who falls for

Lena played by Emily Watson I'm going to

Hawaii on Friday Hawaii I was thinking

about going there really I was thinking

about going there on business well if

you're gonna go I'm probably not gonna

go though

honest

man because it's so great over there and

if you were there we could

say throughout the movie we get to go

beneath the surface of Sandler's funny

guy stick in order to effectively unpack

themes of isolation meanwhile the

romance that unfolds between the

characters is an odd one but that works

to the story's advantage

I don't know

that's insane

I'm guessing it was a mistake

you can advantage of it while it's

offered indeed their strange delightful

interactions have an intoxicating feel

that's hard to let go of when they come

together at the end we can't help but

root for them if you could just give me

that much time I think I can get enough

mileage to go with you wherever you have

to go if you have to travel for your

work because I don't ever want to be

anywhere without you number 94 Bright

Star All Hail Jane Campion queen of

eroticism and romance bright star

despite its PG rating is no exception in

her Stellar catalog it is a experience

Beyond thought

poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to

accept mystery

I love mystery the 2009 film spotlight's

poet John keats's romance with Fanny

Braun in the Years prior to his death

Campion Delights in the longing Romance

of keats's poetry and the cinematography

evokes a sensuality that's intoxicating

touch as a memory

I know it the camera noticeably focuses

on the small touches between Keats and

Fanny with each one seeming more

prolonged and romantic than the last and

that's saying nothing of the main pair

portrayed by Ben Wishaw and Abby Cornish

who have a rapport for the ages all that

mixed with the poignant script makes for

an emotional watch quick

and rest number 93 It's a Wonderful Life

now we know what you're thinking it's a

wonderful life is mostly remembered as a

Christmas movie not necessarily a great

romance but we'd like to bring up a

Counterpoint the love between George and

Mary is out of this world you want the

Moon

just say the word and I'll throw a lasso

around and pull it down hey that's a

pretty good idea

I'll give you the moon Mary every moment

between them is electric but our

favorite is probably the scene where

they finally get together in the days

before speakerphone a conversation with

a mutual friend calls for some Close

Quarters we can both hear come here

we're listening Sam

well look I have a big deal coming up

that's going to make us all rich

watching their eyes drawn to each other

like magnets the power passing between

them is palpable it's a perfect

encapsulation of what makes this 1946

classic so great even without the

heartwarming holiday Fair

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

number 92 Annie Hall if you trace a line

backwards from the romantic comedies of

today you can arguably follow it

straight to Annie Hall the the medium

enters in as a condition of the art form

itself

well well to me I I mean it's it's all

instinctive you know I mean I just try

to feel it there are several other

important stops along the way to be sure

but there's also no denying this 1977

work is a seminal text for so many

filmmakers and its nuanced Love Story

still holds up love is is

too weak a word for whoever I love you

you know I love you I love you yes I I

have to invent the story centers on

Alvey who attempts to decipher and

examine his prior breakup with a woman

named Annie Hall portrayed spectacularly

by Diane Keaton the script is funny

fresh and was contemporary for the time

offering a new take on relationships

between men and women but the thing is I

mean since our discussion's here I feel

I have a right to my own feelings I

think you would have been happy because

I really asserted myself number 91 train

wreck when we first heard that Amy

Schumer was going to pen and be in a

film Loosely based on her life we

expected it to be a hilarious romp train

wreck definitely brings the humor but it

also contains a tender romance do you

like me

yeah yeah see I really like you

so we should be a couple

no no I have pla plans Schumer plays a

woman also named Amy Who falls in love

with Bill hader's Dr Aaron Connors she

likes Aaron but has a hard time not

screwing things up at every turn what do

you want me to say we're just having a

fight you insulted me and that's and I

just I will talk about it and we'll work

through it what's wrong with you that

you want to be with me I I'm a drinker I

don't care I've been with a lot of guys

I don't care the whole thing is funny

and moving and the highlight of it all

just might be Bill Hader as the Romantic

lead his performance ties all the aptly

laid out threads together and it pays

off not everyone saw that coming but

clearly he and the entire movie is full

of surprises I really want to impress

you yeah yeah I want to show you I could

work hard and and put myself out there

you know oh I got that and not be afraid

to fail no I got I got the metaphor

number 90 The Proposal Sandra Bullock is

without question a rom-com queen but by

the time 2009 rolled around she hadn't

been in a big one in a while thankfully

that all changed with the release of The

Proposal Mr Gilbertson

Margaret and I

are just two people

who weren't supposed to fall in love

but did in it she's an editor-in-chief

who pretends to be engaged to her

assistant brought to life by Ryan

Reynolds to avoid being deported it's a

comedy of errors and perhaps feels

nonsensical at times but there is a

surprisingly soft romance that makes the

whole thing believable

oh God I can't see it Bullock and

Reynolds are the perfect pair to pull

off the slapstick humor while bringing

the strong chemistry game at the very

same time in other words the proposal

has a little bit of everything you want

in an entertaining rom-com

M I'm gonna take that as a yes oh okay

number 89 There's Something About Mary

I'm tired of talking about stuff

let's talk about you

are you okay number 88 Forgetting Sarah

is if the last time we have sex is also

the best number 86 the age of Adeline

all these years

you've lived but you've never had a life

please free yourself for Alice

staying unlocked

I don't know how

E5 Silver Linings Playbook this

Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence

have been having a hard time to say the

least I told your therapist that you

were in a superior mental illness

category hey calm down leave me alone

can I just explain myself please after

Cooper's Pat comes home following a stay

at a mental health hospital his goal is

to mend his broken marriage Lawrence's

Widow Tiffany is willing to help make

that happen but she needs assistance

winning a dance contest in exchange

romance ensues and the tension is

evident listen I don't know what choices

before the incident as the film goes on

and their circumstances become more dire

Injustice but the romance between its

Central characters gives it a dreamlike

quality that's impossible to ignore

longer if I can the film follows Tim who

you didn't know my name

to us you are perfect Love Actually

wasn't necessarily a slam dunk with all

the critics when it was released but for

audiences it was basically an instant

attraction

as poisonous

the movie follows a slew of different

semi-interlocking storylines most having

to do with love around the holidays with

rom-com staples like Hugh Grant and

Colin Firth and established greats like

Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson starring

it's no wonder everyone fell hard

there's heartbreak laughter and of

several times a day

I love you

the way you smile

your shyness the film has a dark almost

stormy feel to it with cinematography

that notably uses the smoke of the train

station to its Advantage it gives the

story an overall doomed quality and you

home

[Music]

yeah

[Music]

number 31 say anything

[Music]

number 30 500 Days of Summer just

because the main couple doesn't end up

together doesn't mean the story isn't

romantic in fact in this case that might

be the very reason it endures Tom was

right yeah I did

no

I did

it just wasn't me that you were right

about in 500 Days of Summer we run the

entire course of Tom and Summer's

relationship and post breakup lives in

non-linear fashion we see things mainly

through his perspective as he attempts

to process what went wrong but watching

the events of the film play out it's

clear to the audience that Tom's

recollection is heavily biased well I

think you're just remembering the good

the pair was never going to work it

asking him to love her number 25 Ever

After what is that phrase you use

oh yes

once upon a time there have been a

number of Cinderella adaptations some

better than others when it comes to

1998's Ever After there is a strong

argument that it's one of if not the

best you swim alone climb rocks rescue

servants is there anything you don't do

fly what makes it so great is how it

turns the usual interpretation of

Cinderella on its head there's no magic

in this tale just love and a whole lot

of heart a bird middle of a fish Senora

but where would they live

and I shall have to make you wings it

stars Drew Barrymore as a woman named

Danielle just like the Cinderella we

know Danielle plays servant to her

stepmother and stepsisters and falls in

love with a prince but the story has a

much needed feminist bent with the

relationship between Danielle and her

prince unfolding in a real and

respectful manner we love to see it

tell number 23 the big sick support it

okay that's a common misconception of

yelling anything at a comedian is

considered heckling heckling doesn't

have to be negative so if I if I yelled

out like you're amazing in bed that'd be

Heckle yeah

number 22 It Happened One Night going to

do

it's a system on my own

number 21 Sleepless in Seattle

[Music]

number 20 in the mood for love it's

interesting that one of the greatest

romantic stories of all time involves

almost no physical contact between its

leads but the intimacy between Maggie

Chung and Tony Leong's characters in In

the Mood for Love is one of the most

sensual things committed to screen

[Music]

okay

[Music]

the pair stars as two people whose

respective Partners begin to cheat on

them with one another what starts off as

an innocent Bond over the Betrayal soon

develops into deep feelings

foreign

will the two start an affair of their

own will they find their way to each

other and end up together in the end the

answer to both of those questions is no

but that doesn't stop the tragic love

story from holding immense appeal

number 19

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind do

I know you

if you could erase a relationship from

your mind would you do it that's the

question at the heart of Eternal

Sunshine I can't see anything that I

don't like about you

but you will

you know you will think of things and

I'll get bored with you and feel trapped

because that's what happens with me

okay there's a number of ways to read

the premise of this film it could be

about two people who are destined to be

together but need a little push or it

could be about two people who are

fundamentally wrong for each other

ignoring all the signs they should move

on however you interpret it though

there's no denying that Eternal Sunshine

gorgeously plays with memory and the

idea of love lost in a melancholic yet

endearing way

going to be gone soon

what do we do

number 18 Moonlight sometimes a movie

comes out that defines a filmmaking

generation Moonlight felt like one of

those movies you can only imagine

someone touching me

I'm the only one

it follows a young black man Chiron

throughout his life from childhood to

adulthood over the course of the story

he deals with abuse in his family as

well as confusion surrounding his own

sexuality and ideas about gender roles

he also has significant interactions

with someone named Kevin I want to do a

lot of things that don't make sense

I didn't say it all makes sense

granted the oscar-winning film is mostly

about the protagonist discovering his

own identity but the way writer director

Barry Jenkins captures the intimacy

between shyron and Kevin makes for some

of the most romantic shots of the last

decade this enriches the already

magnetic material giving us a masterful

tale about love and acceptance in all

its forms

shoe money but

I ain't got no worries man number 17

portrait of a lady on fire portrait of a

lady on fire is one of those films

that's passionate in every sense of the

word

it's about Marianne a painter who is

hired to create a portrait of a woman

Eloise prior to the latter's wedding

throughout the course of events the two

women form a deep romantic Bond oh kiss

come on

writer director Celine siamas project is

filled with lingering looks and hidden

glances that are nothing short of

captivating but make no mistake this

isn't merely a story of repression

instead it's about how freeing it can be

to let go of the restraints placed on us

even if only for a Time the truth that

comes with the heart-wrenching ending

only drives that point home more

[Music]

yeah foreign

number 16 La La Land some of the most

romantic movies of the golden age of

Hollywood are musicals La La Land takes

the color and joy of those iconic moving

pictures and paints them over a modern

Sensibility

[Music]

Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling bring Mia

and Seb struggling artists in Los

Angeles to Vivid life the two strike up

a messy real entrancing relationship but

career paths and circumstances drive

them apart you got to give it everything

you got

everything

it's your dream

what are you gonna do

I get to follow my own plan you know

stay here the story ends on a

Bittersweet note with Mia and Seb seeing

each other years later both wildly

successful what follows is one of the

greatest montages in recent memory is we

essentially get a dream ballet of what

their lives could have looked like

together it's equal parts romantic and

devastating just like the film itself

[Music]

one two one two three

number 15 A Walk to Remember this one

goes out to 2 000 teenagers everywhere

one of the earlier Nicholas Sparks

adaptations A Walk to Remember was a

massive box office hit do you love me

[Music]

while some might call it sincerity trite

we think the earnestness on display is

what makes it work so well the movie

sees Mandy Moore as Jaime a Reverend's

daughter who gets involved with Rebel

Landon played by Shane West when he's

forced to join the school play

[Music]

develop but things take a turn for the

worse when he learns she has terminal

cancer he basically spends the rest of

her time trying to make her dreams come

true and it's as poignant as you'd

imagine

with more love than lots of people know

in a lifetime

and then she went

with her unfailing faith has the tissues

Blaze number 14 Roman Holiday Audrey

Hepburn and Gregory Peck gallivanting

around Italy who can ask for anything

more

you were great back there you weren't so

bad yourself

Roman Holiday is one of the

quintessential romantic comedies of

1950s Hollywood but this movie's secret

weapon is its bittersweet ending PEX

stars as Joe a journalist who sets out

to get a story on Hepburn's Princess

Anne what starts off as a job however

quickly turns into more what now today

is going to be a holiday but you don't

want to do a lot of silly things

the two joined by his photographer

friend Irving Traverse around the city

of Rome gradually falling more and more

in love but sadly all good things must

end still Joe Nix is the story his

feelings for Anne winning out and

although they can't be together they'll

always have Rome thankfully so will we

we believe that your highness is faith

will not be unjustified

I am so glad to hear you say it number

13 ghost it's difficult to make an

erotic hit when one of the lead

characters can't physically touch the

other for much of the run time but don't

underestimate the power of Demi Moore

and Patrick Swayze also Pottery never

underestimate the power of pottery we

know he's alive in that scene but still

wait for me wait for me

I'll be coming home to wait for me

after Sam is killed he returns as a

ghost to help his girlfriend Molly to

figure out what happened there's a lot

of mystical elements at play including

Whoopi Goldberg as a psychic and they

add an exciting fresh layer to the story

so where is he I can't see him I can

only hear him

I'm right here

it doesn't help Sam of course there's

also plenty to be said about Swayze and

Moore's on-screen Bond their character's

final goodbye alone has us weeping

whoever said romance and fantasy don't

mix wonderfully I love you Molly

I've always loved you

ditto number 12 Brokeback Mountain I

wish I knew how to quit you

why don't you Brokeback Mountain follows

the Romantic relationship between Jack

and Ennis two Cowboys who meet in 1960s

Wyoming their physical and emotional

bond is strong but self-loathing and

Society threaten to keep them apart it's

nobody business but ours

you know I ain't queer

me neither as the movie goes on it

becomes apparent that a happy ending is

not in the cards for these men Stars

Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger give

achingly poignant performances while the

script reflects the deeply personal

consequences of Oppression by the time

the credits roll we're left with a

gut-wrenching feeling in our hearts that

we can't shake but no matter how many

times its ending breaks our hearts into

pieces we'll always come back sometimes

I miss you so much I can hardly stand it

number 11 The Princess Bride is this a

kissing book wait just wait when does it

get good keep your shirt on let me read

everyone loves a good adventure story

and some of the best adventure stories

have a romantic heart at their Center

for as silly and swashbuckling as The

Princess Bride can get it never loses

sight of that fact the romance between

Wesley and Buttercup might initially

strike you as slightly trite like the

grandson in his bed you may feel like

skipping the kissing and getting to the

action but as the movie goes on the

electricity between Carrie Elvis and

Robin Wright's characters slowly pulls

you to the couple's side this is true

love

I think this happens every day by the

end just like the grandson you too won't

really mind sitting through those

swooning romance scenes if you're like

us you'll enjoy them so much the movie

will become a comforting go-to I'll

never doubt again

there will never be any number 10 10

Things I Hate About You you're just too

good to be true

Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You 10 Things

I Hate About You is more than just your

average teen comedy it's the movie that

gave us Heath Ledger as a certified

heartthrob for one thing well maybe

you're not afraid of me but I'm sure

you've thought about me naked huh

am I that transparent

I want you I need you oh baby oh baby

Ledger's portrayal of Patrick is just

part of the equation there's also his

Dynamic with Julia stiles's cat which is

Caustic sexy and utterly delightful and

the story of these two outcasts coming

together will always be timeless 9 30

right

I'm early

whatever I'm driving now 10 things is

full of Comedy to be sure but watching

as Patrick sings Frankie Valli cat

recites her poem and the couple's

heartwarming reunion at the end we can't

help but be swept away that's because at

the end of the day what drives the story

and takes it to the next level is love

really

[Music]

it's not every day you find a girl who

flash someone to get you out of

detention

number nine Dirty Dancing

well documented by this point that

Jennifer Gray and Patrick Swayze didn't

always get along on the set of this 1987

classic however what's also well

documented is the fact that this

translated to Pure magnetic passion on

screen Dirty Dancing is a coming-of-age

story that defined a generation and one

of the sexiest movies of all time

gray plays baby a teenage dreamer Who

develops feelings for Johnny the dance

teacher at The Establishment she and her

family visit over the summer the film

has everything Forbidden Love a

beautiful location great songs and two

stars at the top of their game we

certainly had the time of our lives

number eight Romeo and Juliet it's a

classic but with a Twist before he was

the king of the world in Titanic

Leonardo DiCaprio was playing one of the

most identifiable romantic characters of

all time Romeo

oh Romeo where for out thou Romeo in

bazlerman's Romeo and Juliet he Stars

opposite Claire Danes in a modern yet

traditional take on The Bard's

well-known play he and Danes have an

amazing connection right up to the

film's inevitable tragic end just try to

watch that meet cute through the fish

tank without a huge grin on your face go

on try we dare you and have my lip

system that they have took sin for my

lips oh trespass sweetly urged give me

my sin again

they also make their characters feel

real allowing audiences to really

believe in the love story of course the

whole thing is bolstered by lerman's

Flawless Vision in other words the 1996

flick is a must watch

such sweet sorrow that I shall say

goodnight to lip immoral number seven

West Side Story in 1961 Jerome Robbins

and Robert Wise changed the movie

musical game forever with West Side

Story

[Music]

it All Began tonight I saw you and the

world went down

based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

the film follows rival gangs one white

one Puerto Rican in New York City Tony

who's on the side of the Jets and Maria

the sister of the shark's leader end up

meeting and falling in love so much to

believe

you're not making a joke

I have not yet learned how to joke that

way

I think now I never will obviously

tragedy ensues there have been several

iterations of this story on stage and on

screen but we're always drawn back to

this one everything from its sets to its

beautifully melodramatic performances to

its stunning choreography evokes romance

at its biggest and boldest

[Music]

someday

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

number six The Notebook if you're a bird

I'm a bird

[Music]

strange that 2004's The Notebook could

make that one of the most romantic lines

ever but that's what happened it follows

Noah and Ally two lovers from Opposite

Worlds threw their lives together apart

and back together again this film could

have been a just okay adaptation of a

Nicholas Sparks novel but then came Ryan

Gosling and Rachel McAdams I want all of

you forever you and me every day the

spark between their characters is

undeniable from the moment they meet

whether they're fighting which happens

quite often or kissing which also

happens quite often every movement

between them is charged with passion the

couple's happy ending mixed in with the

Bittersweet sadness of the film's Final

Act only solidifies its place as one of

the best

I think our love can do anything we want

to do number five Pride and Prejudice of

course we needed to include an

adaptation from Jane Austen one of the

absolute masters of romantic fiction and

Pride and Prejudice might be her best

work I thought the Poetry was the food

of Love of a fine Stout love it may but

if it is only a vague Incarnation I'm

convinced one person it will kill its

Stone dead so what do you recommend to

encourage affection

dancing

even if one's partner is barely

tolerable this film version directed by

Joe Wright gives us Keira Knightley as

Elizabeth Bennett and Matthew mcfadion

as the grumpy yet endearing Mr Darcy

when the story starts these two have no

interest in each other but as their

titular Pride and Prejudice start to

fade away the pair falls deeply in love

please do me the honor of accepting my

heart we all know that Austin has

written some of the most romantic lines

in literary history in this movie

crucially puts the most pivotal ones to

good use with nightly and McFadden

knocking their readings out of the park

its power is virtually unmatched you

have Bewitched

so and I love

I never wish to be parted from you from

this day on number four Titanic I'll

never let go

we'll never let go of this movie as one

of the most romantic ever before Titanic

was released in 1997 plenty of people

thought it was going to be a major flop

the production was so tumultuous there

was no way it could be anything else

right wrong so you want to go to a real

party the film is an absolute

Masterpiece and what Kate Winslet and

Leonardo DiCaprio accomplish will go

down in cinematic history the

relationship between Rose and unhappy

girl from a privileged background and

Jack a dreamer from the wrong side of

the tracks is one of the most indelible

romances ever committed to screen not to

mention the pure production value on

display Titanic is in the simplest terms

epic in every regard when the ship docks

I know it doesn't make any sense

that's why I trusted number three Before

Sunset when it comes to portraying

enduring romance Julie delpi and Ethan

Hawke have it down yeah what was I

supposed to say that I remember the wine

in the park and US looking up at the

stars fading away as the sun came up the

before Trilogy which includes bookends

Before Sunrise and before midnight is

one of the most romantic of all time but

our favorite movie in the bunch comes in

the middle you can never replace anyone

because everyone is made of such

beautiful specific details set nine

years after Jesse and celine's one

romantic night in Vienna Before Sunset

sees the couple finally reuniting it's

pure wish fulfillment everyone wants to

know what happened to The One That Got

Away wants to know what could have been

in Before Sunset our characters get to

live out that fairy tale and it's done

absolutely impeccably baby you are gonna

miss that plane

I know

number two When Harry Met Sally since

1989 there have been a plethora of

wonderful modern romantic comedies but

the best in the bunch came out that year

and remains practically impossible to

beat

oh oh

God When Harry Met Sally features Meg

Ryan and Billy Crystal as its titular

characters chronicling their

intertwining lives throughout the years

you might not expect it but their

chemistry is some of the best that's

ever been seen in a rom-com you know the

first time we met I really didn't like

you that much

I didn't like you yeah you did you were

just so uptight then you're much softer

now

you know I hate that kind of room

sounds like a comp

really it's an insult okay you're still

as hard as Nails his humor plays off her

sassiness well and you can help but find

yourself invested in their story if

you're not crying by the time Harry

gives his speech at the New Year's party

you're stronger than us Nora ephron's

writing Rob Reiner's Direction the

acting in all hooks us and doesn't let

go and it's not because I'm lonely and

it's not because it's New Year's Eve I

Humphrey Bogart is Rick a sullin

nightclub owner in the titular City

during World War II and Ingrid Bergman

is ilsa his long-lost love Casablanca is

about many things like enduring in the

unadulterated and the things we'll do

for someone when we truly care about

them inside of us we both know you

work the thing that keeps him going
