The 20 most romantic movies
1. Sleepless in Seattle (1993)
Romantic leads: Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
'This movie restored my faith in the magic of romance. Maybe we DO have destinies and maybe fate DOES intervene.'
'I love how Tom Hanks' son knew the whole time that Meg Ryan was the one.'
2.Titanic (1997)
Romantic leads: Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet
'Everyone dreams of finding that perfect love and feeling that instant spark. And the scene where the elderly couple lies in bed together, holding each other and waiting to die, kills me!'
3.Gone with the Wind (1939)
Romantic leads: Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh
'We all want to be Scarlett O'Hara and have men surrounding us - plus in the long dresses from that era, you?d never have to shave your legs!'
4.Casablanca (1942)
Romantic leads: Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman
'I love the tragedy of it all, the sheer drama, Ingrid Bergman's sad eyes and beautiful face. It's all about - heart-wrenchingly - not getting everything you want.'
'In the end, knowing your love is returned is enough, even if fate keeps you apart.'
5.Pretty Woman (1990)
Romantic leads: Richard Gere and Julia Roberts
'Each of us is a diamond in the rough; we need the right person to make us shine. This movie gives you hope in your own dreams of finding Mr Right.'
'Nice reworking of the "hooker with a heart of gold" format. It gives a nod to independence while also fulfilling the fantasy of being swept away by the knight in shining armour.'
6.When Harry Met Sally (1989)
Romantic leads: Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan
'My favourite part of the movie is at the New Year's Eve celebration, when Billy Crystal runs all the way to see Meg Ryan - what he says is fabulous: "When you finally figure out you love someone, you don't want to spend another minute without that person!" (Or something like that!)'
7.Ghost (1990)

'I love it because it's about a love that lasts beyond death (what a couple!)'
'True love never dies.'
8.An Affair to Remember (1957)

'I just melt when Cary Grant finds out why Deborah Kerr didn't meet him atop the Empire State Building. I cry every time I see it!'
'It touches me every time I see it. How stubborn they were - but still ended up with each other.'
9.Romeo and Juliet (1968, 1996)
Romantic leads: Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey
(1968); Leonardo DiCaprio and Clare Danes (1996)
'This movie left me speechless. It didn't matter that you already knew the ending before it started.'
10.City of Angels (1998)
Romantic leads: Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan
'It is very moving that someone would give up his eternal life just to be with you.'
'It really touches you and makes you feel lucky to be in love and be able to share your world with the person that you love.'
'One moment with someone you love is better than an eternity without them!'
