As with my thread about Horror Films romance films can be split into multiple different genres. I grew up not hating romance films but at the very least thinking they were for sissy's. As I have grown older I realised I had it all wrong and that romance films can be the most powerful genre that cinema can offer. Films like "Casablanca" can show just how much love can affect someone. A film like "Love and Other Drugs" can fool you into thinking that love is basically dead but if you work at it love can work out. "Lost and Delirious" is a very honest portrayal of love and what it can push people to do.
All three films are different in their own right, they tell different stories, tell of different times and tell of how love can work given the circumstance. But what for you makes a great love story? What does a love story include that makes it an ideal film or a wonderful representation of the genre?
