Romance on the big or small screen involves true love, good-looking partners and a happily-ever-after ending ' at least sometimes. Bring along the tissues and enjoy the memories by renting or buying the best romantic videos of the past 60 years.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • VCRs
  • Televisions
  • Local Newspapers
  • Movie Rentals
  • Movie Tickets
  1. Step 1

    Use "Sleepless in Seattle" as the romantic video against which to rate the others. Remember Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan and that warm and fuzzy Valentine's Day story? Oh, you might as well just go out and buy this one.

  2. Step 2

    Go through your favorite CD soundtracks for reminders of romantic movies you once loved.

  3. Step 3

    Browse the romantic drama and comedy sections in your local video store. Chances are excellent that you will find wonderful movies you have not yet seen, or may want to see again. Consider "Shakespeare in Love," "As Good as It Gets," "Ghost," "The Way We Were," "When Harry Met Sally" and "While You Were Sleeping."

  4. Step 4

    Ask older friends and relatives for their favorite on-screen romances of the '40s and '50s. "An Affair to Remember" - the film that makes Meg Ryan, Rosie O'Donnell and Rita Wilson weep in "Sleepless in Seattle" - is from that era.

  5. Step 5

    Consult your local video clerk, who should be knowledgeable about romantic videos past and present.

  6. Step 6

    See "Casablanca" yet another time. You will still need the tissues.

Tips & Warnings
  • Ignore macho comments about "chick flicks." Real men do cry while watching sad movies.

on 2/14/2006 'Alot like love' with Amanda Peet and Ashton Kutcher is a really romantic movie because it's so realistic and not cheesy. It's what love is like in the real world. Perfect for young couples.
