If it does, I choose that. No greater romantic gesture than when Kathrine Hepburn stands up for Bogey at the risk of her own life... @Paul D - Greatest movie of all time not just romance: The Princess Bride

Does African Queen count as a romance movie? If it does, I choose that. No greater romantic gesture than when Kathrine Hepburn stands up for Bogey at the risk of her own life…

My fave action movies: Matrix- blew my mind. Fight Club-cuz they beat each other up. Kill Bill- cuz she kills bill, in such a badass way. Quentin Tarantino's Planet Terror- cuz zombie movies rock. Bloodsport- a Van Damme classic. that’s hilarious cuz glenn and i watched this movie and one of us cried at the end- i can’t remember. it was probably me, but it might have been him. he’s known to be touched by heroic sports movies here and there.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - i've never seen, read or heard the pain of desperately trying to hold on to Love more accurately expressed in all it's awkward, gut-punching and unexplainable glory than in this movie. 2. Sleepless In Seattle - because Meg Ryan in her prime destroys every other girlfriend who was ever created. 3. Shakespeare In Love - because her soul was greater than the ocean and her spirit stronger than the Sea's embrace. 4. It Happened One Night - because it was the original back-and-forth/ barbed wire banter/ they hate each other while they love each other couple. And it eventually led to David & Maddie, Sam & Diane, etc. 5. Meet Joe Black - What can I tell you? That's life. 1.

"Enchanted Cottage" IS a thriller movie... just depends on what thrills you. And there's LOTS of action in "The Clock." So there. Don't mess with old ladies.
