WHAT ARE THE 1,000 "BEST" ROMANCE MOVIES OF ALL TIME?
We know the Romance Writers of America's Official Definition:
"A romance is a book wherein the love story is the main focus of the 
novel, and the end of the book is emotionally satisfying."

The American Film Institute has taken a poll of its own members, and built 
a list.   That list is sliced and diced three ways, by me, for you:

The AFI Top 100 Romance Movies (Rank Order)
The AFI Top 100 Romance Movies (Chronological Order)
The AFI Top 100 Romance Movies (Alphabetical Order)

Of course, that's the opinion of an explicitly AMERICAN organization.
For a ranking taken by the international audience for the IMDB (Internet
Movie Database) here are the top Romance Movies:

The IMDB Top Romance Movies of 2000 (Alphabetical Order)

{to be done}


"Romance is unabashed escapist fiction, following the love story of a (usually female) 
protagonist, and intended to sweep women readers away from their day-to-day problems.... 
However, also key to Romance novels is an absence of moral ambiguity. Courage saves the day, 
justice triumphs, good defeats evil, and it is always readily apparent who and
what is good and who and what is evil. Almost uniformly, Romance involves the 
'taming' or 'civilization' of a wild man by a woman. Sub-plots and minor characters are 
kept to a minimum; these are not multi-layered works. Romance readers
are seeking to relax and enjoy. Romances should be easy to read, but should strike 
strong emotional chords. Marriage is almost without exception the desired goal of a 
Romance plot." [Courtesy of Candice Furhman Literary Agency]
