There’s a little bit of everything in this list – romantic comedies and some love movies to make you cry. There’s also a few that cross the lines of your traditional romantic movies and as to be expected anytime I make a list of anything, a few obscure romantic movies as well. So snuggle up, grab some popcorn and turn the lights down low and enjoy some of these great movies!
