Double Indemnity as a romantic movie? Wow. To each their own for sure!
Please wash the shock off of my face by suggesting to me your favorite romantic movie. Any flavor or definition of romance welcome -- in fact, the more the merrier.

Date: 2010-01-26 02:05 pm (UTC)I probably don't need to say, but avoid the awful 'modernised' version 'You've Got Mail' which, while having a similar structure, manages to miss the point entirely.
There's also a musical version called 'She Loves Me' which has some okay songs and one fantastic one - a patter song 'Tonight At Eight' - which I would love to perform on stage someday...

oh and

Date: 2010-01-26 06:49 pm (UTC)There are moments of The Lion In Winter that definitely qualify -- especially the ending. It's not exactly a "Love Conquers All" film, but it is a "Love Endures" film.
However, I think I'd have to go with frantically wriggling shrimp, cowboy-hat-wearing truckers, and Tampopo

Isn't there a romantic ending on Some Like It Hot? All I ever remember is the hotness with all the stockings in the train scene ... and I always thought Myrna Loy & William Powell were cutely romantic in the Thin Man movies. And I suppose My Big Fat Greek Wedding is romantic ... it's a wedding, after all.
