There's nothing better than immersing yourself in the sweet atmosphere of romantic films with your loved one, where love blossoms and emotions touch the heart.
Here are a few suggestions for classic romantic movies you can choose for a sweet Valentine's evening.
The Great Gatsby
The film is told through the flashbacks of Nick Carraway, who at the beginning is being treated for depression and alcoholism. Nick has been to New York and there he meets a strange, mysterious man named Gatsby. No one knows who Gatsby is, where he comes from. No one has ever met Gatsby in person. All people know about him is his magnificent mansion and his all-night parties. Watch the film here.
The era of jazz and the "American Dream" is not yet over.
Gatsby harbors a deep love for Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), a love that began when he was penniless. Now, seemingly possessing the world, he still dreams of the strangely captivating woman, even though she is married to someone else. Through the mediation of Nick Carraway, Gatsby continues to hope to win Daisy back…
A romantic love story
Gatsby was always torn between wanting Daisy, to possess her, to hold her close, but instead of using his power, he gave Daisy the choice of a love that wasn't forced, demonstrating the greatness of a man. Gatsby lived each moment of his life fully devoted to that love, selflessly and without calculation. And even in death, he still uttered the name "Daisy."
Titanic
The immortal love story between Jack and Rose on the ill-fated Titanic has become an icon of world cinema. The film not only recreates the historical disaster but also profoundly portrays love, courage, and sacrifice.
Titanic is a captivating and emotional love story that has been the subject of countless articles and writings by both critics and the media.
James Cameron's "Titanic" tells the story of the Titanic disaster – one of the most horrific events of the 20th century. Against this tragic backdrop, the beautiful love story of Rose and Jack emerges. This couple, along with "Titanic," has become an enduring icon in cinematic history.
Rose is a pampered young lady forced into a marriage with a wealthy young man to help her family escape financial hardship. Jack, on the other hand, is a rebellious young man, a talented artist with no money, an orphan who makes a living through his cleverness. One is in first class, the other in economy class. They meet and find a deep connection, something they had never experienced before. Then they fall in love.
The image of the two standing on the bow of the ship, or the tragic ending of the film, has become a classic moment on screen, touching the hearts of countless viewers around the world.
Thus, against the backdrop of the catastrophe that befell the giant ship due to human arrogance, a Shakespearean tragedy unfolds. The film is essentially a modern-day Romeo and Juliet.
Letter to Juliet
Letters to Juliet is a heartwarming romance film that conveys a message about the courage to pursue love and faith in the good things in life. The story revolves around Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), a young woman traveling to Italy with her fiancé Victor (Gael García Bernal). While exploring the beautiful city of Verona, Sophie stumbles upon Juliet's house – a place where the walls are covered with letters expressing the love stories of girls from all over the world. There, Sophie accidentally finds a letter written 50 years ago in a secret alcove.
A fresh and vibrant love story.
Intrigued by the story, Sophie decides to reply and is surprised to find that the letter's owner – now an elderly woman living in England – and her grandson Charlie (Christopher Egan) return to Italy to search for their old flame. On this emotional journey, an unfinished love story has a chance to continue, and genuine feelings begin to blossom between two strangers.
From Time
Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) is an ordinary, somewhat clumsy guy. One day, he discovers he has the ability to travel back in time. With this amazing gift, Tim immediately thinks about going back in time to correct the mistakes he made due to his shyness. And it only truly makes sense when he meets Mary (Rachel McAdams).
Express your love, don't hesitate.
Beautiful and charming, Mary's smile captivated Tim from the first glance. But because he was helping others, Tim lost contact with the girl with the expressive eyes. After many attempts at using magic, Tim finally fulfilled his dream of marrying Mary.
The Vow
Released in 2012, The Vow is a romantic drama inspired by a true story. It tells the story of Paige Collins (Rachel McAdams), who, after a serious car accident, suffers a brain injury and completely loses her memory of her happy marriage to her husband, Leo (Channing Tatum). Despite Leo's efforts to help her regain her memories, Paige feels alienated from him and is even pressured by her family to return to her old life. Unable to hold onto the past, Paige embarks on a journey of self-discovery and, together with Leo, finds love again in a new way.
Unlike other romantic dramas of its time, The Vow doesn't have the same melancholic tone, yet it still manages to move the hearts of many viewers with the noble love story of its main characters.
50 First Dates
"The first 50 dates" proves that if you're in love, you can do anything, even try to win them over again every day. Leo's challenge in the movie The Vow seems insignificant compared to what Henry Roth will go through.
A humorous yet incredibly romantic love story.
Henry met Lucy, the girl he fell in love with at first sight, in a diner. He had no idea she suffered from short-term memory loss after an accident several years earlier. All new memories were erased within 24 hours. How could he make her fall in love with him again each day? And even more difficult, how could he get her to accept him as her husband, when he only had one day to make his mark on her heart?
