My Favorite Romantic Movies that I Watched and Own
By an Amazon.com customer
The Proposal (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition + Digital Copy)The Proposal (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition + Digital Copy)
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $16.39
Yeah! It's finally coming out. Of course, I already pre-order this. This is the best romantic comedy I have ever seen. It does promise the laughs with witty dialogue. The chemistry and the acting between Ryan and Sandra are amazing.
Pride & PrejudicePride & Prejudice
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.67
My all time favorite movie. My sister had to drag me to this one in theaters though. My best friend even took me again for my birthday. It's short and sweeter than the A&E version, which makes it a quicker affair to watch. Plus, the ending is majorly better.
Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996)Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $14.89
The best version that follows true to the original book. I had to buy the DVD version when I wore out my VHS tapes.
Pride & Prejudice (2003)Pride & Prejudice (2003)
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $6.94
The Modern Version. I'm not a big fan of Darcy here but cast is pretty good. The ending isn't very good. But the rest of the movie was well done and follow the plot pretty closely. It's nothing to rave about but it's good watch when you have nothing else to watch.
Twilight (Two-Disc Special Edition)Twilight (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $19.49 / Used from: $16.99
What would a list be without Twilight? Based on 'Twilight' by Stephanie Meyers. I'm the rare few who seen the movie first then read the book. This movie made me a fan for life. I liked the first 40 minutes, but I don't watch after the baseball scene.
Harlequin: Diamond GirlHarlequin: Diamond Girl
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.25
Based on 'Diamond Girl' by Diana Palmer. A Harlequin Movie. Much better than the book. The dialogue is witty. And the hero, Jonathan Cake, is majorly hot. The heroine isn't the best, but she delivered with deadpanned humor.
Leopard in the SnowLeopard in the Snow
Buy used from: $14.96
Based on 'Leopard in the Snow' by Anne Mather. The book is better with a much better ending. So, I would suggest watching the movie first then the book. The graphics are not the best and the acting so-so, but it's cute movie to watch.
At the Midnight HourAt the Midnight Hour
Buy used from: $5.57
Based on 'At the Midnight Hour' by Alicia Scott. The book is better but the ending in the movie is much cuter. The acting is okay and sometimes stilted or overboard. But the intrigue, the romance and a smart little boy keeps you watching.
The Lake House (Widescreen Edition)The Lake House (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $1.50
Based on the Korean drama 'Il Mare'. The American version is better due to the fact that it has more softer side. But this movie shows that love can grow over time despite the distance. The ending made me cry.
The Christmas CardThe Christmas Card
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $6.78
This is a wholesome clean romance. There is a complication with the heroine having a boyfriend, which I didn't particularly care for. Cody Cullen is majorly cute and I wished there were more guys like him.
PenelopePenelope
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $2.98
A take of Beauty and the Beast. Penelope is an inspirational story that shows that you have to have the strength to change. And that you can't find love until you love yourself. Cute ending.
SabrinaSabrina
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.00
Based on the play "Sabrina Fair". Harrison Ford. What else is there to say? This is a Cinderella-type tale. The beginning is kind of slow. But after Sabrina returned from Paris, the romance begins.
Straight From the HeartStraight From the Heart
Buy used from: $8.50
I watched this once. I honestly don't remember it but it was a simple, sweet story. It's a clean romance. City girl answers a personal ad and meets a cowboy who could change her life.
Enchanted (Widescreen Edition)Enchanted (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $2.78
Another movie that I wasn't sure I would like. A great movie musical from Disney. Patrick Dempsey and Amy Adams have great chemistry. The plot is original and the songs are memorable.
Mamma Mia! The Movie (Widescreen)Mamma Mia! The Movie (Widescreen)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.52
I haven't seen the musical yet, but I'm going to. This is a funny and charming musical. I loved the music.
Hairspray (Two-Disc Shake & Shimmy Edition)Hairspray (Two-Disc Shake & Shimmy Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $0.99
Loved this movie. Seen the musical 4 times. The musical better but this movie has its YA charm. Zac Efron is a major cutie. And a great ending as well.
Rodgers & Hammerstein's CinderellaRodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $5.95
With a multiracial all-star cast, this is my favorite version of Cinderella. The songs are done well and great acting.
Beauty and the Beast (Special Platinum Edition)Beauty and the Beast (Special Platinum Edition)
Buy used from: $17.89
I know it's a cartoon but it's my favorite Disney movie that has all the elements that I enjoy. The songs are the best. Belle is my favorite princess who judges people on their personality, not their appearance. And she loves to read. The Beast is a sweetheart who given up hope on finding anyone who can love him. I love the ending.
Barbie in The NutcrackerBarbie in The Nutcracker
Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $1.91
I know. It's Barbie. But this is a great romantic movie, where a young girl can save a whole kingdom with the strength of her heart and courage. It's sort of Beauty and the Beast type story. Clarise is gifted with a Nutcracker who is actually a cursed prince. They journey to save his kingdom while falling in love. A good movie to watch at Christmas.
Shrek (Two-Disc Special Edition)Shrek (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy used from: $2.95
This turns the normal fairy tale on its ear. A classic. I own all the sequels but you can't beat the original. The movie is funny and unpredictable. A sort of parody of Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast.
Wall-E (Three-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy)Wall-E (Three-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy)
Buy new: $31.99 / Used from: $15.28
I have never seen such devotion. This movie made me cry so many times. Wall-E is a sweetheart who would do anything to please the person he loves. Even if it means sacrificing himself. A great story that teaches about the environment and love.
