Good Romance Movies

Badlands
This is the classic movie of doomed-lovers-on-the-lam classic, based on the true story of ཮s killer Charles Starkweather. A very young Martin Sheen stars as a James Dean look-alike with a take-no-crap attitude; Sissy Spacek is around to offer unwavering love and jailbait tail.
Love Lesson Learned: Be careful fooling around with those boys from the wrong side of the tracks. If you're father finds out, he'll get real mad and shoot your dog.

The Honeymoon Killers
Chunky nurse Martha falls hard for Latin lothario and lonely-hearts scammer Ray, and together they make a living out of bilking and killing companionless women. Both guys and gals will be blown away by the hold they have on each other.
Love Lesson Learned: This is must-see viewing for couples that met through the Internet or any kind of dating service. Just cancel your membership to Facebook now.

Titanic
For the ladies, there's the romance, the girl-empowerment theme and Leonardo DiCaprio looking cute as a button. For the guys, there's the disaster destruction on an epic scale, Kate Winslet topless and the reassuring fact that Leo dies at the end.

Love Lesson Learned: Time your viewing well. It's such a damn long movie, odds are that your special friend will have to spend the night. And never forget 'A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets.' Oh, and 'don't eat beans for dinner.' Um, yeah.

There's Something About Mary
Here's an inspiring story about the lengths a man is willing to go for true love, including near-castration. Plus, the movie has Cameron Diaz. It's a sweet film and absolutely hilarious comedy. It's also beyond politically incorrect.
Love Lesson Learned: In real life, you'd be more than concerned if your girlfriend went out with a NFL legend, but if it's Bret Favre, don't sweat it. The dude's a pussy.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
On one end, there's spectacular kung fu fighting choreographed by the dude who did the action in The Matrix. For the ladies, there's not one, but two love stories! For an action flick, there's more heart in this film than 100 'Hallmark Hall of Fame' TV-movies.
Love Lesson Learned: If you're going to fall in love with a butt-kicking beauty, you'd better have some (martial-arts) moves of your own.

When Harry Met Sally
Here's the ultimate truth, as we paraphrase Billy Crystal: Men and women can't be friends 'cause dudes are dogs who just want to have sex. But, ladies, take heart: You get the sweet revenge of seeing how depressed Billy gets after his marriage falls apart. A great film to fool her into thinking you're more mature than you really are.
Love Lesson Learned: The woman faking an orgasm scene is a tough one to swallow, right guys? Oh, and apparently writers in New York could afford HUGE apartments in the 80s.

Harold and Maude
You've heard of May-December romances. This one is more like February-April of the following year. For the ladies, there's the age-defying passion. For the dudes, there's Harold's Jaguar-hearse, easily one of the coolest pimped-rides ever.
Love Lesson Learned: Never discount funerals as happening places to pick up women.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
It's only THE classic love story of our generation. Kate Winslet stars as a kooky, funky hair-colored bookstore clerk who 'forgets' her wild romance with Jim Carrey. It's sort of sci-fi, but not really. Bonus points for the Kirsten Dunst underwear dance.

Love Lesson Learned: When a partnership hits a rough spot (and sooner or later it will), don't let those bad memories erase the good ones. Literally.

My Bloody Valentine
The town of Valentine Bluffs has a bit of a problem: There's a maniac miner killing the young folk who just want to party on Feb. 14. Plenty of scares and cheesy 80's hairdos for both sexes!
Love Lesson Learned: Product placement rules! All that Canadian beer ('Moosehead lager') must have convinced the locals that it would be a great idea to get crazy down in a dark and dirty mine.

Casablanca
A true romantic classic, and don't be put off just because your (grand)parents love it, too. It's a timeless tale of love and sacrifice during war, and it features more legendary quotes than just about any film out there. However, true story: Humphrey Bogart never actually says 'Play it again, Sam.'
Love Lesson Learned: When Bogey says 'The problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world,' he nails love's epic emotions and ultimate truth.
