1. Crazy Stupid Love

Crazy Stupid Love ranked 1st in the list of Best American Romantic Movies. Over dinner, forty-something Cal and Emily’s almost 25-year marriage falls apart for the dreadful little reason that she wants a divorce so she may try her luck at love with a man who doesn’t take her for granted. The now-single Cal feels lost, helpless, and like a fish out of the water until he meets the self-assured Lothario and brilliant pickup artist, Jacob, who chooses to take him under his wing. Nothing will ever be the same again, and as the rusty and pitiful seducer in the making rediscovers his latent manliness, something completely unexpected occurs: Jacob is also vulnerable to the addictive emotion of intense affection.

5. The Notebook

Duke (James Garner), a loving octogenarian resident of a serene nursing home, reads daily to a fellow Alzheimer’s patient from the worn-out pages of his leather-bound notebook with almost religious devotion (Gena Rowlands). To keep her company, Duke recounts the intriguing love story of the wealthy city girl Allie (Rachel McAdams) and the impoverished but lyrical country kid Noah (Ryan Gosling), which slowly develops into a lumber-scented Southern summer romance in the late 1930s North Carolina. The silver-haired patient finds herself becoming more and more engrossed in the oddly captivating account of the highs and lows of the young impassioned lovers as if the silent manuscript had the unfathomable capacity to pierce the thick clouds that cloak her dejected soul.

But what is in store for Allie and Noah in the future? Do midsummer idylls inherently end in failure?

6. La la land

The morning commuters, Sebastian, a suavely charming jazz pianist who is struggling with life, and Mia, a gifted writer who is eagerly awaiting her big break, are off to a horrible start since they are crammed onto a vast stretch of roadway on sunny Los Angeles. Sebastian, a purist with undiluted musical taste, definitely has a serious plan for the future. However, Mia, a hopeless romantic fascinated by the glamour of vintage Hollywood, is engrossed in pointless auditions. Because these two proper Los Angeles dreamers keep bumping into one another beneath the city’s starry evenings and plum-hued sunrises, a lovely old-fashioned tap-dance romance tentatively starts.

Although this is the type of effervescent love that defies logic and motivates people to take long walks while admiring the city’s shimmering lights, life is also fascinating and demanding, and the two idealists start to stray from their goals. Does genuine love only exist in fiction? Dreams, do they ever come true?

But when 100-year-old Titanic survivor Rose Calvert, one of the few, hears about this ambitious mission, she decides to share her incredible and utterly tragic tale, one that weaves together the extraordinary journey of the exquisite, deep-blue Heart-of-the-Ocean diamond of King Louis XVI with the unlikely romance between Rose and the young bohemian vagabond, Jack Dawson.
