Tagathon: romantic movies

Tagged by aiman'smommy about best romantic movies. It says that I have to mention 5 best love stories (why 5 when I can give 10?...ahaks) in no particular order. Piece of cake laa!


Please copy the following rules in your post (as usual);

  1. You have to point out 5 romantic movies that you would love to share with your loved ones.
  2. It doesn't have to be in order.. as long as you love the movies, it will be fine.
  3. You have to tag another 5 person to answer this tag


Julie Andrews is very much the queen of musical movies. It is a tad too long for any hollywood standard (3 hours plus much like any hindustani/tamil movies are known to be) but it is a great classic and purely wonderful love story about a nun being sent to the Von Trapp's family as the childrens' governess. And ooh, the songs are beautifully written and evergreen.




I know any movies that has Adam Sandler in it can be a wee bit annoying. Surprisingly in this movie, Adam Sandler proved that he is a good actor (wearisome jokes aside) nonetheless. Adam Sandler is Henry Roth whose tirelessly ingenious plans of wooing Lucy (Drew Barrymore) to get her to fall in love with him over and over again due to her unability to remember new memories after a horrible accident (she only has memories before the incident) is undoubtedly the best original moments so far. Match him with Rob Schneider of the Deuce Bigalow sleeper hit, you'll get 105 minutes of loaded fun!




The Notebook was a great romantic tale about 2 young lovers who come across each other at a small-town carnival one night. The girl's parents disapprove, and it becomes a struggle right away for the relationship to get off the ground. When war hits the country, Noah is called off to war, and Allie is left wondering if she will ever see him again. Not hearing from him, she gets married to another man, and the story really begins. Starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as the loving couple, the film is great as it depicts two people that should be spending their lives together. The story is strong from start to finish, and there are parts of the film where it just tears at your heart that things can't be easier for the two main characters. A great WW2 love story...





Definitely one of the greatest love story ever made to the screen. About Molly (Demi Moore's hairstyle in this movie sparked a trend in the early 90's) who had lost her fiance to a robbery gone awry and how Sam's (Patrick Swayze) spirit was trying all his might to tell her that her life is in danger. I remember watching this movie with my girlfriends and we had a good cry towards the end of the movie. not only us, almost half of the audience cried mostly women. But I think Whoopi Goldberg was the star here and she stole most of the scenes with her hilarious antics and no surprise, she bagged an award for her supporting role in this movie.






One of the best epic love stories and the highest grossing film of all time, it tells the story of Rose (Kate Winslet), a young tormented girl trapped in a loveless arranged marriage to a wealthy man, contemplates suicide to end her miserable life until she was rescued by an ordinary chap named Jack Dawson (Leonardo di Caprio). Who can ever forget the haunting love song - my heart will go on by Celine Dion. Already a great classic.

Of course, the real task is to find 5 more people who is willing to do this tag. Any takers?
