Apr 21, 2025
Are you looking for a movie with a love story, a cute couple, and a scene where two people kiss? Good news: you've come to the right place. Our list chronicles the best romantic movies of the century, from rom-coms to rom-drams, meet-cutes to meet-hoots. These movies will have you falling head-over-heels with the screen.
'Amelie' (2001)
Amelie is about as quirky as they come, but it's still a sweet romance with some serious moments. Audrey Tautou plays the titular character who finds a box belonging to the person who formerly owned her apartment. When she decides to return it, she comes across a host of colorful characters and corners of Paris, all rendered as a children's book come to life.

'Carol' (2015)
Who doesn't love an LGBTQ+ movie with chic outfits and erotic elements? Losers and prudes. The rest of us will be dazzled by this story of two lovers in 1950s America. Rooney Mara is terrific as Therese, a woman at the department store during the holiday season. Cate Blanchett gives the performance of her career as Carol, a woman buying what she's selling.

'Julie and Julia' (2009)
Meryl Streep plays Julia Child. That's it. That's all you need to know. Everything else in this rom-com isn't as good as Streep's performance, but then again, what is?
