Now *cracks knuckles* I couldn't decide how to split a lot of these, but I figured that piling them by the decade might help since that generally denotes the level of cheese involved.

All the best romances bar a few came from the 80's. Most notably Dirty Dancing (it's always a toss up between that and Casablanca). However, you end up with things like Lady Hawke and Desperately Seeking Susan, the latter being one of the cheesiest movies ever, but I love it so! It's so bad it's good. Dig the outfits:

My personal favourites of the 90's would be Benny & Joon and Frankie & Johnny. They're not quite classics but amazing none the less. And since then I think the best ones I've seen were Something's Gotta Give and What Women Want.

However, the funniest had to be given their own catagory, because I can't find anything to equal them. People talk about When Harry Met Sally, but the other two don't get nearly enough recognition.

The classics are pretty self explanitory, if you don't know these you're dead to me! Must insist on you watching Say Anything if you haven't seen it already.

You'll notice that some of the biggest or newest titles didn't make it on, because I hated them or was so disappointed I wouldn't want to steer you wrong. And I might get a lot of flack for saying this, but the Notebook wasn't that good. Others I didn't like:

27 dresses

Music and lyrics

The Holiday

Terms of Endearment

Love story

Titanic

Gone with the Wind

Maid in manhattan

13 Going on 30

Most hated romance of all time The Holiday! It was shiiiiiite. It knocked Love Story off as number one on my most hated list. Titanic was ok, but I didn't see what all the fuss was about. Maybe because I watched it ten years too late? Music & Lyrics was terrible, why do people like it? Is it because they've never seen a GOOD romcom before? And as for Maid in Manhattan, I steer clear of J-Lo like I do Jeniffer Jason Leigh.

I really liked 'Can't Buy Me Love' with Patrick Dempsey.

Other Suggestions:

Sixteen Candles

Valley Girl

Pretty in Pink

Just One of the Guys

Clueless

10 Things I Hate About You

While You Were Sleeping, it's the closest thing to a chick flick I enjoy, it's a really good movie.
