I am loving this topic! I applaud whoever listed You've Got Mail. My sister was obsessed with that movie in high school!

I personally trend towards When Harry Met Sally, Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn, no question), How to Steal a Million, Pride and Prejudice (Kiera Knightley version), The Mummy (may just love Rachel Weisz), Runaway Bride...the list goes on and on!

I really want to mention, though, that my reason for adoring the Kiera Knightley version is that the actors bring such an authenticity to the scenes of daily life. I like that all the girls talk over one another, or Mary is whining in a corner while Lydia is running 100 mph.

While I adore the novel, and would never put a book before a movie, this sort of detail isn't really captured by Austen - at least, not as vividly as I think the actors depict it. It adds a level of comfort and familiarity to a film that often feels stiff or forced with other actors.

I enjoy the Pride and Prejudice movie, probably because I've read the book first and it made me more interested.

Just for me it would have to be pretty woman, I know looking back its a bit unrealistic but I really love it. You Before Me is another great one. I would also recommend the book of this.

Titanic is still my favourite romance movies. The ending is emotional and I cried watching that scene no matter how many times I repeated it.

Pride and Prejudice is definitely a classic. And Warm Bodies is my guilty pleasure.

Classic movies like the Titanic and the Notebook are classic for a reason.

But modern movies like "To all the boys I've met before" (great book series by Jenny Han) are also pretty good. Nothing better than a bit of rom-com on a down day.

"You've Got Mail" is my all time favorite. I watch it every year. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are the best! F O X

My favourite romantic movies always seem to be the ones with a whole bout of anguish and despair thrown in, which is probably why Me Before You remains one of my favourite romantic films to date. I love the romantic K-dramas. They're so cheesy and corny I'm always on the hunt for new ones to binge watch.

I love romantic movies, but I prefer them to be light-hearted; Romance coupled with tears is not my favourite cup of coffee.

My favorite romantic film is Ten Things I Hate About You and I also liked the first film of To All The Boys I've Loved Before.

Everybody is mentioning Pride and Prejudice the film, but the series starring Colin Firth was amazing as well.

Speaking of K-dramas, a few days back I saw a K-drama which should be perfectly engaging for any romance addict, 'Romance is a Bonus Book'. Apart from highly enjoyable romance-comedy, it also features our favorite subject, books.
