Ooo...Casablanca. Good one.

For me, Star Wars Episode II.
The acting wasn't stiff at all.

Funny you should ask that, just watched Brokeback Mountain literally minutes ago... Absolutely beautiful film. It is definitely one of the most romantic films I've ever seen.

Thanks to my ex-wife i had to watch "Titanic" 11 times. That was FAR too much.

But i really loved "4 weddings and a funeral" (i hope this is the english name), and to be totally honest - the James Dean movies were most touching, maybe that is because i was much younger, when i watched them, but they still stick in my mind.

I really didn't Titanic much. I mean I thought it was OK, but nothing more.

ie. IMO Titanic was one of the most overrated movies of all time, but that's just me.

I hated Titanic, but I love the three James Dean movies. My favorite is East of Eden, but it's also my favorite book; maybe that has something to do with it.

Well, i tried to tell that to my wife, but she was quite stubborn. :-) We visited the movie with a hundred different people. We had a big trouble when my mum´s cell phone rang while Leo was starting to drown. ;-)


And yes - "East of Eden" is my favorite, too....

My wife says The Princess Bride is her favorite romantic film. To be honest, it is one of my favorite films, too, because it has a little bit of everything and does it all well.

My favorite movie of all time: Delicatessen http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101700/

"The story is centered on a microcosm of a post-apocalyptic society where food is so rare it's invaluable and is used as currency. The story centers on an apartment building with a delicatessen on the ground floor. The owner of the eatery also owns the apartment building and he is in need of a new maintenance man since the original "mysteriously" disappeared. A former clown applies for the job and the butcher's intent is to have him work for a little while and then serve him to quirky tenants who pay the butcher in, of course, grain. The clown and butcher's daughter fall in love and she tries to foil her father's plans by contacting the "troglodytes", a grain eating sub-group of society who live entirely underground. The "trogs" are possibly the most sensible of the lot, as they see food as food and not money" -imdb

Love it!

Listing your favorite action / drama was funny once, but not if extended throughout the thread.

Mine is technically a romantic comedy. It just so happens to be drenched in cannibalism. The two main characters fall in love and have to overcome the weird obstacles which keep them apart. And yes... its French!

That's what they would like you to think. Have you ever heard of makeup? Cosmetic surgery? Special effects? Computers?

Seriously, think about it. Have you ever seen them in the same room together? Ang Lee is to Sulu as Clark Kent is to Superman.
