A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I consider Princess Bride absolutely a romance--it is a kissing movie. It's about a couple's quest to be together.
Gross Pointe Blank is also a rom com to me, but I understand that it's to me.
I totally agree on both of these.
As for movies that have romance but it's not the main thrust of the plot, what about RED?
t edit Which, sequel this year WOOOOOOOO!

The Ghostbusters movies have the romance between Peter and Dana as a subplot, but it's certainly not the main focus.

What are some good/enjoyable movies where love/romance is an important factor to the story, but you wouldn't really classify them as a romance or rom-com?
I'm having a hard time coming up with movies of any genre where love/romance isn't an important factor to the story. Hell, The Matrix has a romantic subplot in the end.

Kalshane,
In answer to your question, my first reply is a bitter one:
"Message in a Bottle" but I have extreme hatred for that movie, and I believe that while that movie was marketed as a romance movie there is nothing romantic about the movie in the least.
My second reply is more serious: "Terminator"

What are some good/enjoyable movies where love/romance is an important factor to the story, but you wouldn't really classify them as a romance or rom-com?
Essentially any movie where the love story is the B plot, instead of the A plot. Which is why I also agree that Princess Bride and Gross Pointe Blank are indeed romance movies, as the romance is really the A plot in those movies. Also in Groundhog Day.
My second reply is more serious: "Terminator"
Love this. Yeah, romance B plot.
I have been doing a lot of screenwriting lately, so I've got film structure on the brain these days.
