Romantic comedies, otherwise known as rom-coms, continue to be created and marketed to the masses to this day. Many make just enough at the box office to create small profits and every now and again a new epic romantic movie strikes a chord with the times and leads to a mega blockbuster, such as Titanic. These classic romantic flicks usually harken back to the romantic classics. Not familiar with a classic romantic movie? Here are some classic films to watch if you really love romance.
- Breakfast at Tiffany’s
This classic romance goes down as one of the quintessential films to watch if you truly enjoy a story about love. Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn and based on the Truman Capote novel, is about Holly Golightly, a wealth obsessed high end escort who exchanges all of her time for payment. While trying to live her rich lifestyle and find lucrative opportunities to marry into wealth. Her life is changed when she meets a writer, Paul Varjak, who is living off a sugar momma in the same expensive apartment complex. The two quickly become friends and begin to explore what it takes to love and have security at the same time.
- Casa Blanca
Taking place during World War II, this movie tells the story of Rick Blaine, an exiled American who runs the hippest night club in Casablanca, Morocco where refugees frequently seek a safe haven and opportunities to escape via transit letters. Things take a turn for the worst after two German soldiers turn up dead. With authorities hot on his trail and the love of his life mysteriously appears back in his life, things get more complicated than he could have ever foreseen.
- Gone with the wind
This movie tells the tale of Scarlett O’Hara and her life during a particularly dangerous period of America’s history. As the love of her life marries someone else, Scarlett decides to marry herself prior to a great war beginning. Scarlett finds herself a widow later on and still seeks the love of her life- a relationship that seems doomed from the very beginning. Highlighting survivalist instincts and the counterintuitive means and ends that love and survival can entail, Gone with the wind truly makes you think about romance from a different perspective.
Choose any of these movies for a great romance film to watch with your significant other.
