    The Pillow Book - it is NOT a rom com in any way shape or form but it is a love story
    The Notebook - The complete oposite of The Pillow Book except they both have a love story in it.

    French Kiss - part Fish Called Wanda part rom com. I'm a big fan of Meg Ryan in this time frame.
    Kate and Leopold
    City of Angels - I wasn't kidding that I'm a big fan.

    I recently watched Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton- First of all, on another subject, the sets were amazing the costumes were beautiful just a fabulous endeavor They do not make movies like that anymore.
    But it was totally a Love Story. They don't make Love's like that anymore lol:winkgrin::laugh:

    Which version?
    BBC or Hollywood?
    Out of two, the BBC original is vastly superior.

    Hollywood. I think the odds of me ever seeing the BBC are slim to none

    Random Hearts is good. I recently revisited it after some years, and enjoyed it again.

    another one that comes to mind is Intersection (1994) with Richard Gere

    I used to think the love story between Robin Williams and Amanda Plummer in Terry Gilliam's The Fisher King was incredibly romantic. Now it seems kind of stalkerish and creepy. Still love the film though.

    I could have fallen under the spell of this film if Cleo had not
    been miscast. Not a good role for Elizabeth Taylor. It needed
    Sophia Loren, or some European actress, to generate heat.

    Richard Lester's Petulia (1968) starring Julie Christie
    and the mighty George C. Scott. He knows she will only
    cause him grief, but he can't help himself.

    Reading Notre Dame de Paris was one of the most disspaointing literary experiences I've ever had. Any of the movie adaptaions is preferable.

    The Accidental Tourist (1988) - good movie with William Hurt and Geena Davis.

    Probably “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir”

    I’m tempted to say “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” which, at its core, is a tragic love story.
