Family man. Nicholas Cage, like his acting
You've got mail. Remember when Meg Ryan was the Rom Com go to Girl
An affair to remember. A classic
Sense and Sensibilty. Well done classic
Pride and Prejudice. As is this one
Letters to Juliet. The what if talk...
Notting Hill. There just something right about a Brit and an American in a romance.

CASABLANCA-hands down--I have seen it over 100 times and wore out a DVD.
City Lights
A silent romantic comedy as funny as it is touching; with Charlie Chaplin at his very best. Albert Einstein himself attended the premiere, so it must be pretty smart.
The Little Tramp (Chaplin) meets and falls in love with a poor blind girl, who mistakes him for a wealthy duke. She tells him that she needs an operation to restore her sight, so he sets out to earn the money doing various jobs, with comic consequences. The Little Tramp finally manages to raise the money, but his efforts get him arrested and thrown into prison. When he is released months later, the Tramp walks by a flower shop and sees the flower girl. Her sight is restored, but she does not recognise him.
Truly Madly Deeply
Groundhog Day
When Harry Met Sally
Brooklyn
If you haven't seen it, I recommend it!
Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed. About Time
Love Richard Curtis' writing and directing. It's a beautiful balance of comedy and romance.
Bilitis - it's an oldie but a beauty. Good story and music.
I'd vote for Notting Hill. Hugh Grant is rather delicious in that one.
Pretty Woman
The Lucky One
Breakfast at Tiffanys
Boys On The Side, with Mary Louise Parker and Drew Barrymore and Matthew McConaughey.
Notting Hill ... Hugh Grant.
