When it comes to romantic movies, the first thing that comes to mind is often women viewers, but the fact that men also have feelings is frequently forgotten. At least we are addressing those who have emotions: there are dozens of beautiful movies that you might ignore by saying “romantic movies” but will regret missing.
We have prepared a list for you. You can watch it with your spouse, your lover, or secretly by yourself. You might sob inwardly so no one can hear you and wipe your tears on your shirt sleeve.
After the movie is over, you can return to that tough guy or cool guy persona. We’ve put the list out there; the one who gets it takes it. You mentioned a romantic movie, and we can almost hear the exclamations of “How could you not add this movie!” It is the glory of the movie list; write your recommendations, and we will add them to our stash.
1.Blue Valentine
The sad ending story of a relationship that started with love, Blue Valentine, is one of the movies where the saying “Everyone can find something for themselves” is most fitting. The movie provides answers to the questions “How does a relationship end? Why do two people drift apart over time?” We always wanted Ryan Gosling to sing and Michelle Williams to dance, but it didn’t happen.

2.High Fidelity
Once upon a time, stuffed cassettes were the saviors of those who loved but could not speak. They were love letters written on cassettes. This movie is a tribute to a tradition that has now disappeared. We view relationships through the eyes of a man whose life was music and love. Book adaptations are usually criticized by their fans. However, High Fidelity is one of the rare movies that has pleased its fans and even become legendary. Let’s not forget to mention that the lists—which are the name, reputation, and building blocks of our site—also have a very special place in this movie.

3.Before Sunrise
The first movie made such a deep impression that a sequel was produced, though it didn’t have the same impact as the original. You meet a woman on the train, have until morning, and ask her, “How would you like to hang out with me in Vienna?” and she responds with a “Yes.” When you watch this, we can almost hear you say, “It only happens in the movies.” In USA, if you make such an offer to a woman, you will either get slapped or, at best, a “No.” Are women wrong to behave like this? Absolutely not. You’d better watch the movie and enjoy the “what if” experience.

4.500 Days of Summer
If you want your life to transition from a depressing winter to summer, you must see this movie, which is true to its name. When you see Summer, you might say, “Here is the woman of my life,” and 10 million people who watched this movie had similar thoughts. However, there is a significant gap between our expectations and real life. We suggest watching this movie, with the motto “Don’t have expectations but don’t forget the facts,” even just for its many scenes that are likely to become legendary.

5.Her
With its extraordinary poster, this movie even influenced those who weren’t initially interested in watching it. Scarlett Johansson attracted crowds of fans, but Scarlett was reaching out with the tone of a 900-line service. For years, we wondered, “Is there anyone who actually calls these lines?” and the movie provided the answer: Yes, there are many.

If you are one of those who say “Let it be alternative, let it be ours,” you are in the right place. Imagine if Tarantino had a hand in the script—just picture the rest.

8.Annie Hall
There is a Woody Allen movie on the list, and it’s pointless to elaborate too much about it. He is neither an ordinary man nor are his movies ordinary. The Annie Hall character, portrayed by Diane Keaton, made a deep impression on us with her unique outlook on life and her distinctive style of dress. Allen also garnered the attention of the Academy with this movie and won the Best Picture Award.

9.Love Actually
Don’t let the happy endings of each story discourage you. As you know, the prevailing mentality is that a movie with a happy ending is often considered cheap. However, this movie demonstrated that the criteria for poor quality and cheapness can be something entirely different. We wish every love story could be as captivating as those portrayed in this movie.

11.Pretty Woman
Actually, we have mixed feelings about this movie. It is not clear whether it encourages prostitution or addresses bad working conditions. However, we interpret this movie as a portrayal of what happens to our prostitute sisters in daily life. We care about it because, even if only slightly, it represents their voice in cinema.

12.Four Weddings and a Funeral
It is the movie that made Hugh Grant the leading man of the period and Andie MacDowell the permanent face of cosmetics brands. We can say that this movie is the peak of both actors’ careers.

13.As Good As It Gets
The movie, which tells the story of an obsessive and grumpy man’s transformation, is among the best answers to those wondering why Jack Nicholson is legendary.
