Romancing The Stone was a goodie too. Love Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I have to add Lethal Weapon 2 I think when Mel Gibson’s character meets his future wife. Romancing The Stone was a goodie too.

I've seen all the ones on your list and special love to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Abyss</strong>. I heart Lindsey. OMG, that drowning scene! And I love when Bud throws his wedding ring into the toilet and he changes his mind and retrieves it and his hand is all blue from whatever crap was in that toilet. And <strong>Mr and Mrs Smith</strong> -- well, any movie that brought about the Brangelina phenomenon is gonna be good but I loved how Jane was probably four times the better assasin than John. Other Kablooey films I heart are <strong>Dark City </strong>(never warmed up to THE MATRIX because I saw this first that same year and thought it was better) and <strong>The Island</strong> (Mrs Ewan McGregor may be the luckiest woman in the world. I hate her. :) ) Have to agree that Kablooey Romance = Awesome.

Great film. Of course I clicked on your link and watched the clip. But I wasn't satisfied, so I found <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=RSRm0l_escg" rel="nofollow">this!</a> :D I love The Abyss!

On those, I agree with you on most. I can't remember the actual scene in <em>The Empire Strikes Back</em> but just reading it now, it seems arrogant. Or at least I know people in real life really don't like it if you say "I know" when they tell you they love you. :-X I'm not really big on romantic movies either, but one of my favorites is <em>Gone With the Wind</em>. Unlike a lot of people, I like and respect Scarlet. I also think Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable were fantastic actors. :) Happy Valentine's Day!

And then I went home and listened to My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion and cried even more. And Shawshank Redemption. Andy and Red. Not a romantic couple, but the best of friends and the last scene when Red is walking on the beach towards his friend Andy is so beautiful and moving!

"love you wife" I love <em>Mr. & Mrs. Smith</em>, but <em>True Lies</em> makes me laugh even more. "Honey, next time, duck" "I married Rambo!"

I also really like Dante’s Peak–but then Pierce Brosnan being all heroic just pushes all the right buttons.

Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, sparks and witty banter flying everywhere, with James Stewart aka America's Everyman thrown in there and it's solid gold. I would have to say I like You've Got Mail as a romance and totally agree with Empire Strikes Back. Has anyone ever seen the movie Go? Katie Holmes (before she got all weird and Crusie-washed) and Timothy Olyphant. It's so out of left field, but fits with the movie. I just have to say that I love The Philadelphia Story.

Mr and Mrs Smith is one I particularly love, and Han and Leia get me every time. I would add Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark). On your short romance movies list, again those are favorites of mine. There is also a great movie with all kinds of love called Love Actually.

They just do <strong>not</strong> do it for me at all.

I know exactly one film, namely Terminator (and I always get embarrassed at the mention of Schwarzi) ROFL. Btw. the mullet from Hamilton is priceless, no? What film would I add??? I kind of am a period drama junky, preferably with romance AND happy ending. Add a lot of Jane Austen stuff (NOT those Hollywood mutilations, though), Elizabeth Gaskell, Dangerous Beauty (*sigh*) ... and all the other DVDs I invested in during the last months (too many to count).
