While countless romantic films have been made over the years, only a select few can be considered the greatest of all time. Here is our definitive list of the top 10 most romantic films ever made.

10. The Notebook (2004)

Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook tells the heartbreaking yet hopeful story of Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachel McAdams). Their passionate love affair faces challenges due to class differences and family interference, but their bond endures through time and hardship. The film’s iconic rain-soaked kiss scene has become one of the most memorable romantic moments in cinematic history.

9. Titanic (1997)

James Cameron’s Titanic is an epic romance that continues to captivate audiences. The film follows Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet), two young lovers from vastly different backgrounds who meet aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic. Their love story unfolds amidst the tragedy of the ship’s sinking, making their romance all the more poignant and unforgettable.

8. Before Sunrise (1995)

Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise is a unique and intimate romance that follows Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) as they spend a single night together in Vienna. The film’s dialogue-driven narrative captures the beauty of spontaneous love and meaningful connections. The chemistry between the leads and the film’s realistic portrayal of romance make it an enduring classic.

7. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

Michel Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a unique and thought-provoking take on love and memory. Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet) undergo a procedure to erase memories of their failed relationship, only to rediscover their deep connection in the process. The film’s non-linear storytelling, emotional depth, and stunning performances make it one of the most unconventional yet profoundly romantic films of all time.

6. La La Land (2016)

A love letter to dreamers and romantics, La La Land tells the story of Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) and Mia (Emma Stone), two aspiring artists trying to make it in Los Angeles. Their passionate romance is tested by ambition, success, and the realities of life. With its breathtaking cinematography, enchanting musical numbers, and bittersweet ending, La La Land is a modern classic in the romance genre.

5. The Princess Bride (1987)

Right in the middle of our list is The Princess Bride, a film that perfectly blends romance, adventure, and humor. The love story between Westley (Cary Elwes) and Buttercup (Robin Wright) is timeless, filled with iconic lines and memorable moments. With its fairy tale charm and heartwarming message, The Princess Bride remains one of the most beloved romantic films of all time.

4. Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)

A hidden gem of the 80s, Some Kind of Wonderful tells the story of Keith (Eric Stoltz), a high school outsider caught in a love triangle between his crush, Amanda (Lea Thompson), and his best friend, Watts (Mary Stuart Masterson). This John Hughes classic beautifully explores themes of self-worth, unrequited love, and the realization that sometimes the perfect person has been there all along.

3. Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love is an unconventional romance starring Adam Sandler and Emily Watson. The film follows the socially awkward Barry, who finds solace in an unexpected love that brings him out of his isolated world. With its offbeat tone, mesmerizing cinematography, and heartfelt performances, this film proves that love can be found in the most unlikely places.

2. Gone Girl (2014)

David Fincher’s Gone Girl may not be a traditional love story, but at its core, it is a film about how love—and the expectations within relationships—can shape and even destroy us. The toxic marriage between Nick (Ben Affleck) and Amy (Rosamund Pike) unfolds as a gripping psychological thriller, exploring themes of deception, manipulation, and the darkest aspects of intimacy. Ultimately, the film suggests that our loved ones can inspire us to become better—or worse—versions of ourselves. And these two maniacs are disasters without each other.  

1. Mandy (2018)

While primarily known as a revenge thriller, Mandy also delivers one of the most intense love stories in modern cinema. The film follows Red (Nicolas Cage) and Mandy (Andrea Riseborough), a deeply connected couple whose idyllic life is shattered by a deranged cult. The raw emotion, dreamlike visuals, and haunting soundtrack create a love story that lingers long after the credits roll.

Whether you’re a fan of classic love stories, epic romances, or unconventional takes on love, these films offer something for every romantic at heart. They remind us of the power of love, the beauty of connection, and the timeless nature of great storytelling.
