Top 10 Most Romantic Movies of the Past Two Decades

"The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love." — Henry Miller
Today is Valentine's Day and love is in the air. And we're not talking about platonic love or brotherly love, tough love or self-love, but romantic love — the real hearts-and-flowers, butterlies-in-your-stomach type of love that sets your soul on fire and makes you feel like you're walking on air. Scientists may say that the euphoria we feel when we are in the embrace of romantic love is merely a chemical response with evolutionary advantages, but anyone who has truly experienced it knows that it feels far more like magic than science. Though romantic love is nearly impossible to define or describe to others, great filmmakers are often capable of capturing just enough of that magic feeling that we recognize it in their films and respond to it with our sighs and our laughs and our tears. Light a few candles, pour a couple glasses of wine or sparkling cider and help us select the most romantic movies of the past twenty years.

Dear John Reviews

Dear John, the latest adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks romance starring Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried, is getting better reviews than one might've expected, given that the last adaptation of a Nick Sparks book was 2004's The Notebook.
"As midwinter sudsers go, you could do a lot worse than Dear John..."
— Matthew Connolly, Slant Magazine
"The latest adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks romance looks like The Notebook with rearranged furniture."
— Scott Tobias, Onion AV Club
"Dear John exists only to coddle the sentiments of undemanding dreamers, and plunge us into a world where the only evil is the interruption of the good."
— Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"The film takes itself much too seriously, yet its characters exist in a realm of fiction, never coming alive as actual human beings."
— Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
