Casablanca (1942)
An intense love triangle between a jaded nightclub owner in French-occupied Morocco during World War II (Humphrey Bogart), his ex-lover (Ingrid Bergman) and her husband, a famous Czech rebel and nationalist (Paul Heinreid), is at the center of this movie, which is perhaps the greatest love story ever committed to film. The AFI's "Most Romantic Film of all Time."

From Here To Eternity (1953)
Set on an army base in Hawaii in the days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, this film is the story of the love affair between a sergeant (Burt Lancaster) and the wife (Deborah Kerr) of his commanding officer. The famous beach scene, when Lancaster and Kerr kiss in the sand as the waves crash over them, is a cinema classic.

An Affair to Remember (1957)
Terry (Deborah Kerr) and Nickie (Cary Grant) meet and fall in love on a ship traveling across the Atlantic Ocean. Both engaged to other people, they say goodbye, but agree to meet atop the Empire State Building in six months if their feelings remain the same. This film was also remade with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan as Sleepless in Seattle.

Out of Africa (1985)
Based on the autobiography of the Danish writer Isak Dinesen, this movie stars Meryl Streep in one of her most celebrated performances. As a young wife largely abandoned by her husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer) on a plantation in Nairobi, she interacts with the native population and falls in love with an aristocratic hunter (Robert Redford). Won Best Picture 1985.

The Princess Bride (1987)
This comedy, a tongue-in-cheek version of a classic fairy tale, tells the story of Wesley (Cary Elwes), a poor stable boy who returns from adventures at sea to rescue his true love, the beautiful Buttercup (Robin Wright), who has been chosen to marry an evil prince. This swashbuckling, sentimental love story is energized by hilarious supporting performances by Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, Christopher Guest, Mandy Patinkin and Andre the Giant.

Say Anything (1989)
This charming movie about an improbable match--between the sweet, unambitious kickboxer (John Cusack) and the beautiful, sheltered valedictorian of his high school class (Ione Skye)--undoubtedly caused countless teenage girls to long for someone to serenade them with a boombox, as Cusack's character does in what is arguably the film's (and maybe even the eighties) most classic scene.

When Harry Met Sally (1989)
A modern classic for romantic comedy lovers (especially for those who secretly pine for one of their "platonic" friends), this movie follows two college classmates (Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan) into adulthood, exploring the question: Can men and women really be friends?

Amelie (2001)
Amélie (Audrey Tautou) is a shy waitress in a Montmartre café. After returning a long-lost childhood treasure to a former occupant of her apartment, and seeing the effect it has on him, she decides to set out on a mission to make others happy and in the meantime pursues a quirky technician/handyman (Mathieu Kassovitz) who collects discarded photo booth pictures in Jean Pierre Jenut's romantic fairy tale.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
Jim Carrey stars as Joel in this terrifically quirky, sometimes off-the-wall romance witten by Charlie Kauffman, as a man who discovers that his girlfriend (Kate Winslet) has had her memories of him erased from her mind through a pioneering experimental procedure. He tracks down the doctor (Tom Wilkinson) to have the same procedure done to himself, only to decide that he doesn't really want to forget her. Also starring Kristin Dunst and Elijah Wood.
