I have taken netflix subscription and I am watching top 100 most romantic movies ever made in hollywood.
Just wanted to make my own ranking of all these movies. So here it is…
1. THE WAY WE WERE (1973)
This is one of my favs till now …. Umm … I dont know what & why liked in the movie. I think casting is great. Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford make a wonderful couple and they do complete justice to the roles. Then the beautiful theme song (which has become one of my favs now). Lastly the ending leaves you with the feeling of “i want more” and you cannot deny also that it is the perfect ending. You have got to see the movie to understand what I am talking about.
2. WEST SIDE STORY (1961)
Again I liked the casting, the characters and I also liked few songs like “America”.
3. GONE WITH THE WIND (1939)
Casting, story and something about the movie which makes it “grand” and “classic”.
4. ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953)
Beautiful story.
5. CASABLANCA (1942)
Very good acting.
6. AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER (1957)
I knew the story already (“Mann” which is a bolly remake of this movie.)
7. DOCTOR ZHIVAGO (1965)
I had pain in my head when the movie finished. I just watched it for the sake of it. I even dont understand what was romantic about the story. I think (and I pray to god) that this should be at the bottom of my list and no future movie should be able to break this record.
Next in line –> IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946)
