Love
I love top ten lists, and after the success of my top ten love songs, I thought, why end there? So, for your viewing pleasure, I present the top ten romantic movies list.
#10 Best First-Date Film: So, you are on your very first date with someone and you decide to go see a movie and maybe grab a bite to eat. You want something to liven the mood and possibly spark a romantic flicker. So we suggest “Lady and the Tramp.” How cute and romantic was it when Lady and the Tramp kissed with the spaghetti in their mouths?
#9 Best Break-up and Revenge Film: My gut instinct was to say “Waiting to Exhale,” but many a guy has been traumatized by the scene of Angela Bassett lighting her cheating husband’s car on fire. With that note, our choice for best break-up revenge film is “The First Wives Club.”
#8 Best Unrequited Love Film: All throughout the film, you were sure she was going to get her man. But frankly my dear, that’s what makes this film so good. She doesn’t. Our pick is “Gone with the Wind.” Sorry, Scarlet. Even in this article, you can’t get your number one choice.
#7 Best Teenage Angst Love Film: If anything, this film had some awesome quotes. “Dong, where is my automobile?” We love the Molly Ringwald film, “Sixteen Candles.” How hard is it to deal with teen love when everyone forgets your birthday?
#8 Best Tragic Love Story Film: Ask any girl from the South to quote this film and you might as well sit down as she and her friends quote the entire thing. But the film provides more than great quotes. It also has two sad and beautiful love stories-one between the main character and her husband, and one between the main character and her mother. So our choice is “Steel Magnolias.”
#6 Best Love Story We Wish Would Happen To Us Film: We all want to be rescued while trying to save the day ourselves. And even though the film had us guessing until the very end if the two main characters were going to get together, we wished deep down that that kind of love would happen in our actual lives. Our pick is Drew Barrymore and Michael Vartan in “Never Been Kissed.”
#5 Best Older Love Film: We learn so much in our lives from our elders and we often take them for granted. But some of the most important lessons we learn are from the people who have learned them, themselves. For this category, we choose a film by two fantastic actors, Jack Nicholson and Diane Lane in “Something’s Gotta Give.”
#4 Best Love Story from a Musical Film: You can’t help to dance and sing to all of the songs from this film. And how hot was young little John Travolta? Every boy wants to be a T-bird and every girl wants to be a Pink Lady. For this reason, we choose “Grease.”
#3 Best Animated Love Film: Not only does this film prove to be a great story about true love being blind, but it’s also funny and raked in a lot at the box office. We choose “Shrek” for its comedy and awesome animation.
#2 Best Love Story We Can’t Categorize But Has to Be on This List Film: It has an all-star cast, filmed around Christmas, it’s a comedy, drama and romance flick all in one. With little vignettes that tie all of the stories together in the end and that have some highly attractive people to look at, make it a point to rent “Love Actually.” You will thank me in the end.
#1 Best Love Story of All Time Film: This was by far the hardest category to pick. But we had to go with a film that made us laugh, cry, and sing. Our choice was a film with beautiful scenes, a poignant message of true love and had a bit of everything from this entire list. So our number one goes to the “The Princess Bride.”
So rush off to the video story and set your TiVo. Relax with a bag of popcorn, your sweetheart and one of these films. I promise you, it will be a night of simple romance that you will never forget.
