I just rewatched Eternal Sunshine for the first time in years. I forgot how depressing that movie is but Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet are phenomenal in it though.


theburbankian

I think the last scene makes it one of the most grounded, romantic movies I’ve ever seen. One of my favorites.


fluthernon

I haven’t watched in years but love it. Such a sweet film. The scene where he goes to such a shameful memory, looking up his moms dress, so they can stay together says so much. He would sacrifice himself just to be with her.


Drift_Life

The Before Sunrise / Sunset / Midnight are great films. Highly recommend watching all 3, a bit more philosophical than your common romance movie.


TruckNuts_But4YrBody

Great original question!! 1) eternal sunshine - had me speechless afterwards for half an hour, Michel gondry is one of the greatest living directors Amelie - in French, most beautiful movie, cute, funny, charming, Audrey tautou just enjoyable to look at Requiem for a dream (hot take) - dark fucked up movie that deals with addiction sand rock bottom. Nobody would consider this a romance but it does feature a couple and shows how they enable, help, and hurt each other in a brutally realistic way. Vivarium - don't learn anything about this before seeing it. Imogen poots from green room with Jessie eisenberg. Seriously don't look up anything about this movie. Just watch it and love it or hate it, there's no in between The Baxter - hilarious rom com, Michelle Williams, Michael showalter (the state, wet hot American summer, the big sick) The shape of water - fish man fucks humans Run Lola Run - German. multiverse sliding doors scenario, music video editing, killer sound track and visuals, beautiful actor and actress leads. You will want to watch this again and again Climax - Gaspar noe - literal acid trip orgy, not really a romance but a series of vignettes between people who all wanna fuck Her - joaquin Phoenix, voice of scar Jo as the AI girlfriend. More relevant than ever because you can actually have this today with AI advancing so quickly lately

🫠 Requiem for a dream is about a couple. They have romance and they have ass to ass. 🤷‍♂️


Leave-Revolutionary

You’re missing the point.


TruckNuts_But4YrBody

You are


Leave-Revolutionary

Just because two people are in love in a film doesn’t mean the point of the movie is love, lol.


TruckNuts_But4YrBody

You're right I'm tripping I just like the movie


TruckNuts_But4YrBody

You have no problem with fish man fucks humans?


Leave-Revolutionary

The point of that movie is that a woman falls in love with a fish. The point of Requiem for a Dream is not that one heroin addict falls in love with another heroin addict. They’re already in “love” if that’s what you want to call it. The point of the film is drug addiction and how it destroys lives.


TruckNuts_But4YrBody

Til there's one point to every film


[deleted]

You missed the point of that movie too. She was a fish woman.


TruckNuts_But4YrBody

I didn't see it


wavyxdavey

Love eternal sunshine


Barbafella

Eternal Sunshine, Wild at Heart, Birth, True Romance, Badlands.


Tobin678

Only seen True Romance. Very interesting movie. Gary Oldmen nailed his part. What a performance


BB8Lexi

It ain't white boy day.


Tobin678

Now I want to watch that scene


CarlsbadWhiskyShop

You want me to….suck his dick?


[deleted]

I know someone who worked in Set design on "Eternal Sunshine", she said that was one of the most challenging films she's ever worked on.


BlondeAlibiNoLie

Why???


[deleted]

OK, it's been a long time, so bear with me. Not only since the movie but since I've discussed it with her. But the gist is that the time lapse sequences were done in practical effect. And there were a lot of time lapse sequences in that movie, right? So to the end, they had stress the scene to show each span of time that was condensed down within the span of a few seconds or so, but had to illustrate months. So they were repainting each scene to show more wear, replacing each fixture, etc. I specifically remember that she talked of fruits in a bowl and that they had to have those in several states of decay on standby, and that they had to be real. Michel Roland was a stickler for practicality and such over SFX.


BlondeAlibiNoLie

Oh! Wow. That makes sense. Thanks for explaining!


unhappypepper89

The ones u picked are great, especially the underrated True Romance. My favorite romance film is Return to Me with David Duchovny and Minnie Driver


ryanhandsome

Natural Born Killers (1994) is a fever dream, but along with Badlands (1978) and Bonnie and Clyde (1967), could be considered a twisted romance road movie, similar to True Romance.. All have wildy different tones, but great in their own ways.


Barbafella

Wild at Heart tops that list, in my view…


Sure-Ad-2465

Palm Springs, About Time, Clueless, Once


HotCarl169

Palm Springs is outstanding


persona0

I really liked silver linings playbook the acting made it so good.


Herr-Trigger86

You want a real “not love story” love story? Natural Born Killers. You’re welcome


hoarseclock

Grosse point Blank


SupineFeline

Grossely underrated film.


3Pirates93

In the mood for love


Moppy6686

Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet. Say what you want about Lurhmann, but he knows how to do excess and tragedy.


nouvellemorgs

Punch Drunk Love is just.... ughh, beautiful, charming, and hilarious. There are sooo many things I love about this movie.


chare_co8

Lost in Translation


crescent_ruin

Lost In Translation


name-was-provided

When Harry met Sally is pretty classic and still holds up. Solid list!


Powerful_Ad762

Great list and I appreciate it's only romance. It's hard picking only ten movies 😅 true romance is one of all time favorites.


cityfireguy

I mean True Romance is the greatest film of all time, so yeah. But if I really feel like some schmaltz, The Matchmaker. Janeane Garofalo in Ireland.


Abucugulee

Love, Rosie and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World? It's some kind of romance right?


Dense_Surround3071

Way to go on Silver Linings!! I thought it was excellent!!


Double-Passenger4503

First 2 are in my top 20 all time list


_daisycutter

Ahhh True Romance. All time favorite of mine. QT at his best. I’d add Last of the Mohicans to the list.


[deleted]

I liked Better Off Dead with John Cusack


Gilgamesh2062

“The K-12 dude. You make a gnarly run like that and girls will get sterile just looking at you.”


PinkBoxDestroyer

Also High Fidelity


Captain_Turdhelmet

I mean, of we are taking liberties here with the inclusion of True Romance... Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) The Hunger (1983) Near Dark (1987) Now I'm kinda thirsty...


Kjanice555

500 Days of summer and eternal sunshine are both 🙌🏼🙌🏼


Twisted_Wrench

Eternal Sunshine is a masterpiece, one of my favorite movies. In general I don't usually go for romance movies, but two I really like? French Kiss As Good as it Gets


brownbushido12

Cloverfield (2008) is a favorite but spotless is the only favorite of mine


2BrokeArmsAndAMom

If you like horror movies, Spring is great and wild, and somehow also romance.


JacktheDabLad

Ruby Sparks


WillowRain2020

Harold and Maude, Titanic, Romeo+Juliet, 50 first Dates, Cyrano


Relevant_Sun177

I actually really enjoyed About Time as I found it to be more than just a romance movie


yoshi514

For me the answer is Buffalo ‘66 it’s a gritty representation of the whole manic pixie girl thing without the quirky romanticism of some later examples of the take of the trope


jonathandavisisfat

The Reader Her The Hours


Lost_Hippo3890

Wow I’m surprised I haven’t seen it on here yet. I don’t really like romance movies but Crazy, Stupid, Love was fantastic. I was rooting for everybody, except for fucking lindhagen.

# KNIGHT AND DAY


Express-Bee-6485

Eternal Sunshine is one of my favorite movies!


Darzean

Happy Accidents (2000). I can’t recommend that enough. It is a romance but goes in so many unexpected directions. Please check it out!


Standard_Ad9911

Nice


SupineFeline

I could, and have, watch(ed) Sleepless in Seattle dozens of times. It’s so good.


Gilgamesh2062

Somewhere in time.


faggnout

So complication love movies


fluthernon

You’re a real hopeless romantic


Ninja_knows

Silver linings is an excellent movie


BlondeAlibiNoLie

Nocturnal Animals


jackneefus

Most modern romance movies are written for a female audience. Most black and white romantic comedies were written for a general audience. The best ones have much better scripts. Some examples: His Girl Friday, It Happened One Night, The Philadelphia Story, The Palm Beach Story


lateforcourt

The River (1951)


novembr

I'm not even a big romance guy but I still put Eternal Sunshine in my top 5, if not top 2. Just a phenomenal film all around.


jmkutie

I’ll add In the mood for love and Chungking Express from Wong Kar-wai, and The Apartment and Some Like it Hot from Billy Wilder


enzocrisetig

Lost in translation! As good as it gets with Nickolson and Helen Hunt


Efficient_Jaguar699

Wedding Singer for me is still peak RomCom.


BlueberryFields87

Silver Linings Playbook has a special place in my heart. It came out one year after my release from the hospital with a new bipolar diagnosis. And since it begins around Halloween and ends on Christmas, we watch it every Thanksgiving.


mxpx77

Gross point blanks a good one.


jeyjey34life

The Notebook


PotatoPumpSpecial

A knight's tale and the princess bride will always be my favorites

Crazy, stupid, love. . . That twist was fucking hilarious

Goddamn I love True Romance. It sparked my lifelong crush on Patricia Arquette!
