The most romantic movie I ever saw was....
Reply to Topic
Well fine.
If nobody else wants to play, I guess I'll just play with myself. Ummm...wait....that didn't come out right.
I've always said the most romantic movie I've ever seen is also my favorite film:
Casablanca
Love, sacrifice, heartbreak, and the belief in something more than "three little people:" this movie has it all. From Rick's first sight of Ilsa, opening the wounds he has allowed to scab over, to the final classic parting at the airport, and everything in between, the film exudes romance and passion.
I was going to write more, but that will have to wait until I feel like I can write coherently.
Anyway, a post in another thread reminded me of another extermely romantic movie:
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
Like I said, I'm having a little trouble writing tonight (long out of practice, I suppose), so all I can say is that I've seen this movie at least a half dozen times and that final scene still gets me every time.
So...anyone else?

New relationships: Chungking Express
Wong Kar-Wai is a master of mood, and he perfectly encapsulates the feeling of new love in this film.
Young love: Raising Victor Vargas
The transition between love of family (whether we can even clearly see that or not) and love of another..... with some love of self tossed in.
Traditional Romance: Pride and Prejudice
It might not be a coincidence that I've been compared to Elizabeth more than once and consider this an extremely romantic story, but it has all the elements: the idealistic old love, in the form of Lizzy's parents, and her new and challenging love with Darcy - which causes them both to grow. Good stuff.

Arizona Dream
Lili Taylor is awesome in that movie. Mixing dreams and romance for the win.
Also yes to anything by Wong Kar-wai. That short film he did in Eros was fantastic.
I found all the scenes in Tsui Hark's Once Upon a Time in China, with Aunt 13 to be very lovely.

Another one just occurred to me. I don't know why I didn't think of it before.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Just a wonderful, touching and poignant film

This is probably because I don't really watch that many romantic movies, but my personal favourite will always be...
Harold and Maude

I couldn't possibly pick just one!
Sweet, feelgood romantic comedy - Show Me Love, Latter Days
Tragic melodrama - Moulin Rouge, Romeo and Juliet, Gone With the Wind
Repressed feelings/forbidden love - Brokeback Mountain, Brief Encounter
If I did have to say just one most romantic movie, I'd probably go for...The Terminator.
