I can't speak to the ones I haven't seen, but while most of those films are great choices for a list of romantic movies, I find some of the entries idiosyncratic. I love It's a Wonderful Life and Bonnie and Clyde, but I wouldn't put either one on a list of most romantic movies of all time. And Ghost?! Really? Ugh. If we are going for romantic ghost stories I'll take Truly, Madly, Deeply thank you.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, when I think of It's a Wonderful Life, the first thing I think of is not "romance." Nor the second or third thing.

Unless they're shipping Jimmy Stewart's character and Clarence the Angel.
Which now sounds like a really weird episode of Supernatural.

Oh, right. I could picture the face, but it was blurry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Please let them make it. Please let them not fuck it up.

I loved the linked movie universes. They don't have to reinvent the wheel with each group of characters--unless you're dealing with mutants.

BTW, finally saw 12 Years a Slave. Magnificent movie. Hope it wins loads more awards. Never want to see it again. The two worst scenes are seared in my brain anyway, so unless there's an onset of senility, I won't be forgetting the movie anytime soon.
I highly recommend it. And it is more than a spinach movie because the acting is magnificent. But ohohoh the buttons it may push - some you might not have known you had.
