I don't know why Raising Arizona didn't make the list.

[Michael Barnes]

That or Leaving Las Vegas Right?

I looked over the list and was surprised to find that I fell asleep through more than two-thirds of them!

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Do these imbeciles realize that the "Graduate" was a black comedy about seduction, not a romance? Apparently not.

[gaspar]

To omit "Flesh and the Devil", with Greta Garbo and John Gilbert and the most passionate screen kiss ever, indicates how little knowledge most Hollywood types have of the history of their own artform.

[codebreaker]

I was going to vote for 'Glen or Glenda?' as tops on my list.

[Cicero5]

What about:

Natural Born Killers

Sid and Nancy

Kalifornia

[Dales]

You're a flower, y'are, Ed.

[irish guard]

Me too! I remember getting one of the best naps of my lifetime at Moonstruck.

[Uncle Hal]

Notice how most of the movies on this list are at least 20 to 50 years old. Shows you the kind of movies they are making today

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

So depending on who you are, if you cried or fell asleep you probably considered the movie for the list. I can think of plenty of films to make the list that aren't here. I always thought 'Remains of the Day' was a great movie about unrequited love (or unconsummated, anyway).

I'm probably one of the few men alive who hasn't seen Casablanca. Oh, I rented it once, but lost interest after a short while. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood for it.

And who didn't cry at the end of Bonnie and Clyde when they got blown into a million pieces?
Yeah, that was a real tear-jerker.
At least now I can tell my wife "Honey, I rented one of the top 100 romance movies for us to watch tonight."
Maybe I'll even throw in Vertigo and make it a romance double-feature.

[Billthedrill]

Well, I kinda thought Species was a heartwarming little romance...

[99tango]

I vote for SHREK.

[Smartaleck]

"Night of the Living Dead".......sex life of a middle aged America?

[Darth Sidious]

I looked for "Attack Of The Clones", but then realized you'd posted the top screen romances! :-P

[1rudeboy]

What about Clint Eastwood and the bulldog in "Sudden Impact(?)"?

[morjon]

"Vanishing Point"(1970)...reminds me of my love life...it's all over fast, with a big bang.

[codebreaker]

Ah the good old days when Director Ed Wood really knew how to make a romance film! (under the AFI's definition of anything under the sun)

[Xenalyte]

How the HELL can anyone think Pretty Woman is romantic? Prostitution by definition is seamy and unromantic.
