Romance may be dead in the real world, but in cinema, it’ll live forever. Love is simply too elemental of an emotion for filmmakers to ever abandon. If you live on earth, you’ve experienced it. Even if you’ve never, say, robbed a bank with your loved one or stood by your sweetheart as they transformed into a hideous monster, the best romantic films make you understand and sympathise with the decisions of those under love’s spell – because one way or another, we’ve all been there.
There are so many movies about love in all its complications that ranking the greatest of them is a manor challenge. To help us curate this list, we chatted to more than 100 filmmakers, actors and writers, from The Notebook author Nicholas Sparks to Notting Hill director Richard Curtis to our own Time Out scribes. We even got Miss Piggy to chime in. Whether you prefer comedies or dramas, horror or sci-fi, we’re sure you’ll find the following list of the 101 greatest romantic movies ever speaks to your own heart as well.
Written by Cath Clarke, Dave Calhoun, Tom Huddleston, Catherine Bray, Trevor Johnston, Andy P Kryza, Guy Lodge, Phil de Semlyen, Alim Kheraj & Matthew Singer
