the notebook Allie (Rachel McAdams) and Noah (Ryan Gosling) in "The Notebook." New Line Cinema Whether you are on a date night with your significant other or hanging out with your best friends, there's nothing better than watching a romance bloom on the big screen.
Almost everyone has gotten those butterflies when watching that amazing ballroom lift scene from when they were a kid or stumbled upon a brand new film depicting a love story that can only be told in this day and age.
If there's one thing that can get the crowds into any movie is the opportunity to witness people falling in love. Here are some of our favorite romantic movie couples from the last 40 years.
Not only did Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) save Rose (Kate Winslet) from committing suicide by jumping off of the luxury steamship, but he also saved her from the uber creepy Cal (Billy Zane). Their romance was short but steamy. We'll continue to pretend that there really wasn't enough room for Jack on that door.
The story of Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Ennis (Heath Ledger) is both steamy and heartbreaking. They have to deal with a time period and community that will never accept their relationship, as well as their own notions of what their relationship really means. Is it just sex? Could it be anything more?
From the moment that she laid eyes on him, Baby (Jennifer Grey) knew that Johnny (Patrick Swayze) was "everything." But it was Baby's bravery that ultimately won Johnny over, and not even the formidable Dr. Houseman could keep "baby in the corner."
Some may see the fact that Pedro (Marco Leonardi) married Tita's (Lumi Cavazos) sister, Rosaura (Yareli Arizmendi), as a dealbreaker. But we know that he did it because it was the only way that he could stay close to the one true love of his life. If you don't believe us, read the subtitles during the prayer scene before he finally consummated his marriage.
Although Mia (Emma Stone) and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling)regularly break out into song and are so adorable that it hurts, their love story is one of the most authentic. They have big dreams, they make difficult decisions based on ineffective communication, they make mistakes, they are lucky in some ways and unlucky in others. They are the personification of that one true love that will always have a place in your heart.
This is a love story that spans the length of the universe. Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) are an unlikely pair who became one of the most revered cinematic couples in history, for men and women alike. Five words: "I love you." "I know."
When no one else would let Forrest (Tom Hanks) sit with them on the bus, Jenny (Robin Wright) made room for him. Forrest would love "his girl" from that moment forward. Forrest gave Jenny a gift that would turn around her life, and she gifted him with with the one thing he never thought he would have.
This love story is so compelling because Monica (Sanaa Lathan) and Quincy (Omar Epps) have very similar carer dreams that lead them in different directions.They have to figure out who they want to be in this world, and if they want to be together through it all.
Not even death can stop Sam's (Patrick Swayze) love for Molly (Demi Moore). Using a reluctant medium, they are able to reconnect, if only long enough for Sam to save Molly's life and have one last love scene behind a pottery wheel.
When their son becomes engaged to the daughter of an ultra-conservative politician, he asks his two dads — the owner of a South Beach drag club and its star — to play it "straight"; even going as far as asking his estranged mother to play a role in his charade.
It broke our hearts to see Albert (Nathan Lane) feeling unwanted and relegated to old "Uncle Al." Eventually, Armand (Robin Williams) steps up and proclaims his adoration for his life partner and the importance of being authentic to who they are, regardless of the consequences.
Olly (Nick Robinson) isn't deterred by the fact that his new neighbor Maddy (Amandla Stenberg) has an illness that doesn't allow her to leave the confines of her home. Using text messages, handwritten signs, and eventually meeting face-to-face, the two manage to have a love story for the ages.
Although we don't love the idea that Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) went from "a poor man's Sandra Dee" to full-on leather in order to impress Danny (John Travolta), we can't forget that Danny also lettered in track and "cut it down to two packs a day" to win Sandy back.
A passionate coming of age film, Adele (Adèle Exarchopoulos) and Emma (Léa Seydoux) are two young French women falling in love. This film explores the toll their relationship takes on them as they mature.
