According to British actor Tom Hiddleston, there is nothing like a romantic film done right in the world of cinema. The best love pictures have given the cinema the most unforgettable and breathtaking scenes. Romantic comedies, love stories that have sunk into oblivion, forbidden love, fairy tales with a happy ending - these are the stories that inspire directors, actors and viewers.
"Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind", 2004
Sad and funny, smart and eccentric love story of New Yorkers Clementine and Joel will not leave indifferent those who have experienced breakups and difficulties in relationships. For director Michel Gondry, this film was at the peak of his career. The writer Charlie Kaufman brought intrigue and strangeness to the plot. The cast couple Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey do credit for this bizarre picture. And although the heroes become hostages of love trauma, resorting to the help of a scientific experiment, forced amnesia, no means help to overcome love and unconscious attraction to each other. The last conversation in the hallway is a deep and striking scene, where so many fit in three words: acceptance, forgiveness, willingness to fight for a relationship, despite differences in characters, difficulties and pain.
Harold and Maud, 1971
Whimsical and entertaining, heartbreaking and philosophical, this film can be watched at any age. The hackneyed phrase that all ages are submissive to love takes on a bold and antisocial connotation in this story.
The era of hippies was rich in films that tried to resist the conservative society. Their goal was to shock the audience and force them to do something. Which of them are still relevant? But Harold and Maude - a revolutionary dream born on the seamy side of a rigid social order - hasn't lost its charm ever since it first hit the screens. She never ceases to amaze and impress.
This is partly due to the fact that the world has changed little since then. Ruthless conformism, petty power, strict hierarchy, and empty privileges are the reality. The romance of a teenager and an elderly woman is undoubtedly a challenge to social norms. But it is much more important that the heroes of the film are truly soul mates. What could be more romantic?
"Amelie", 2001
There is no way to resist the charm of Audrey Tatu as a waitress who has found her mission in life: to make people happier through anonymous gestures of kindness. An eccentric tale of love takes place in the most romantic city in the world - Paris.
"True love", 1993
Insolence and risk, the play of chance and humor are mixed in this romantic action movie. But the main mystery of the film is the philosophical question of what they love for. Behind the veil of hunting for big money hides a simple essence. The taste of love is the taste of peach. This film is a fairy tale about the fulfillment of desires, where love, money and all earthly pleasures pour down to the feet of the protagonist. Credit goes to scriptwriter Quentin Tarantino, who was generous with the excesses. You will be captured by a hurricane of events, interesting dialogues, elegance and emotionality, charming acting, fast-paced plot, game of chance and sparkling joy of life.
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, 1964
You have to be really callous so as not to get moved when watching this movie. A sad meeting under the falling snow, full of both sweetness and bitterness, in which lovers see each other for the first time, remains in the memory forever. In the musical, where every word is a song of love, young Catherine Deneuve plays the role of a girl who fell in love for the first time. But love, too, sometimes fades.
