Barbra Streisand is a bolshy, strident Jewish lefty, Redford a WASP prince out to further his own literary career. And ‘Brokeback Mountain’ is, at heart, a film about possibilities, and the different ways they’re crushed and crippled by an uncaring world. But they explain this with the bonkers-brilliant concept of putting this idea on trial in no less than a heavenly court. When she’s trapped on the mainland by rough seas, she finds herself falling for crotchety naval officer Roger Livesey. Hitchcock’s best and most brutal film – except for perhaps ‘Vertigo’ – this wartime spy story centres on the efforts of American agent Cary Grant to persuade the daughter of a German operative (Ingrid Bergman) to meet and marry a Nazi boss (Claude Rains) – effectively prostituting herself for a greater cause. But watch it again, and you’ll see how undeserved that reputation is. One night, as the two men spout nonsense about a Strindberg play, Catherine hurls herself into the Seine. Copyright © Fandango. The hippy era was full of movies that attempted to confront square society, to shock viewers into some undefined form of action. From Barry Jenkins — director of Moonlight, which is its own sort of romance — comes this James Baldwin adaptation. In this instance, that involves two sets of would-be lovers – policeman Kaneshiro falls for shady lady Brigitte Lin, while his colleague Leung circles around winsome kebab-stall girl Faye Wong. Their relationship sparks scenes that are still fresh in the mind of every '80s kid, from "the lift" in their dance scene to the great, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" moment. No one does romance quite like David Lynch: just think of Sandy and the robins in ‘Blue Velvet’, or Henry and the radiator lady in ‘Eraserhead’. Do they ever cross paths again? Ang Lee’s film could so easily have been a polemic, a film painstakingly designed to play on prejudice. Screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin was initially dismayed to hear that producers planned to hand his heartbreaking supernatural romance over to ‘Airplane!’ director Jerry Zucker (‘I thought with this director that they were going to turn “Ghost” into some kind of comedy and it’d be horrible’), but in fact the move led to a skilfully put-together mixture of tearjerker and madcap farce, enabling Whoopi Goldberg to turn in an Oscar-winning Best Supporting Actress performance for her role as con artist/medium Oda Mae Brown. In fact, the Beast is a young prince turned into a monster for his cruelty by the curse of an enchantress. Oh, and their kids are bloody adorable, too – little Zuzu and her petals, especially. Choosing the greatest romantic films requires some skill. Perhaps it’s the out-of-the-past setting – a narrowboat plying the canals of rural France – or the weirdly disconnected central couple, or even the presence of Simon’s crusty, irascible Pere Jules. In her very first movie, the 21-year-old Béatrice Dalle delivered a career-defining performance which transcends mere pouting petulance to embody a wide-eyed, crockery-smashing, blade-wielding, bush-flashing rage to live. But they seem entirely too cool to be in love. If you haven't seen Casablanca, you know you'll regret it. Its best moments – the immortal star entrance of Nicole Kidman on a spangled trapeze, for example – are dizzy gasps of pure cinema. Bring the tissues, if you have any leftover after Love Story. We shouldn’t want Scarlett and Rhett to work things out a badly as we do, yet we swoon with them at every turn. Despite his unconventional looks, Cyrano is a spectacular lover – at least on paper, writing letters that cause sexy cousin Roxane (Anne Brochet) to fall deeply in love with the man from whom she erroneously believes she’s received the billets-doux – the dashing but inarticulate Christian (Vincent Perez). No longer just the hipster’s choice, it’s become the go-to love story for an entire generation of, to paraphrase Kate Winslet’s Clementine, fucked-up girls – and guys – looking for their own peace of mind. (They lost, but director Ang Lee, brought home the award.). 91%: Up in the Air (2009) 285: 73. This reimagining centres around Ally (played expertly by Lady Gaga in her leading-lady debut), a wannabe singer whose career takes off thanks to the help of weathered-rockstar-turned-lover Jackson Maine (Cooper). After all, life is better when there’s love in the air. TH, ‘I will find you!’ With these words, bellowed to his beloved (Madeleine Stowe) as she’s hauled off by rampaging Native American braves, Daniel Day-Lewis secured his position as the ultimate thinking woman’s crumpet. TH, Endlessly quoted, referenced and parodied, this Golden Age behemoth is such a vast cultural object that many people forget how purely immersive it is as human drama. CB, Cast: Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward, Bruce Willis, Bill Murray. But romantic? Will they let go and make that leap into love? And it’s glorious. What's lovely is how seriously Anderson takes Sam and Suzy's adventure, while also laying on the humour and the irony. But in the wild postmodern glitter-wash it applies to a slender boy-meets-courtesan trifle, Luhrmann’s film brilliantly evokes the intense, irrational, head-over-everything rush of true passion. For that is exactly what its utterly winning protagonists, a rumpled Irish busker and a shy Czech singer do after meeting on the pavements of Dublin, bonding over the composition of gorgeous, bare-hearted love songs.
