The
romantic films that I selected and want to recommend to you today are great
classics of romance, cult films with thrilling emotions, unforgettable romantic
comedies, lesser-known films that perhaps you don't expect to find here,
sometimes tortuous love stories, not necessarily with happy ending, but always on the edge of a feeling that
resists time, distance, death, human weakness.
Casablanca (1942) of Michael Curtiz
A love film between drama, espionage and
romance of the golden age of Hollywood, a legend of cinema in which myth
surpasses melody. And also an anti-Nazi work.
Here is the impossible and poignant love
between the rude but fascinating Rick (Humphrey Bogart), bar manager, and Ilsa
(Ingrid Bergman), ethereal and with veiled eyes, divided by war and destiny...
With his white tuxedo, cigarette in hand and
choices dictated by a greater good, Bogart sculpts the icon of the "real
man”. Oscars for cinematography, direction and screenplay.
Titanic (1997) James Cameron
A young Kate Winslet dressed only in a necklace
with a heart pendant, a hand that clings to the fogged glass inside the car
stopped in the belly of the Titanic, the kiss on the bow of the ship, finally
the final gesture of love between freezing waters and ice . How many sighs and
tears shed for the heroic passion of Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio), a handsome third
class boy, and Rose (Winslet), a first class girl met on board the
"unsinkable" ship.
A colossal epic that attracted crowds of
spectators to the theatres, the standard-bearer of all romantic films, Titanic
is still the fourth best grosser in the history of cinema. Won 11 Oscars
(including best film and best director), a record shared with Ben-Hur and The
Lord of the Rings – The Return of the King.
A funny and
touching cult, with a love story that goes beyond death, between comedy,
mystery and thriller.
Demi Moore
in the role of Molly, fragile and beautiful, is heartbroken by the death of her
boyfriend Sam, interpreted by Patrick Swayze who, once again after Dirty
Dancing, makes you dream. And here, noisy and hilarious, the fraudulent psychic
Oda Mae played by Whoopi Goldberg acts as a link between the two.
Two Oscars
won, for the screenplay and supporting actress Goldberg.
Funny cult romantic comedy, When Harry Met Sally, stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, who play two college students who share a controversial car trip from Chicago to New York, after which they wish they would never see each other again.
Instead, it happens that they meet again several years later, cyclically. Until they realize that something has developed between them.
A 1999 film written by Richard Curtis and directed by Roger Mitchell: «I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy and asking him to love her», says Julia Roberts to Hugh Grant in one of the cult scenes. She is a Hollywood star, he is an unsolved travel literature bookseller in London.
