.....As listed by MSN.com. its surprisingly eclectic! the article is too big to post here so check it out in this link:

http://movies.msn.com/movies/romanticmoments

what do YOU think of their listing? was something left out..SHOULD something have been left out? lol

i LOVED the fact that they included "harold and maude" ...the unlikely, almost farce-like budding romance between such opposites....Harold was this demented boy who really was obsessed with death and staging these elaborate FAKE suicides (i laughed at them...so i guess im just as demented)...and somehow..this old..OLD woman touches him in such a way that he falls in love with her. its cute...funny..and a bit kooky!! but im really glad that it made this list.

I wouldve thought they would include "Gone with the wind" or "Ghost" in their list...and they couldve KEPT "out of sight". im sorry but im not willing to give J.Lo ANY kind of kudos for her wannabe acting "skills". :rolleyes:

Out of Sight was probably Jennifer Lopez's single most brilliant performance in a movie besides Selena. I mean they even created a TV Show based on J.Lo's character in the movie.

I was also really glad to see Say Anything on the list because My best friend and I are really big 80's Cliche Teen Movie Fans lol.. And the boom box scene is great.. If you leave, I won't cry, I won't shed a single tear..

Casablanca is a GREAT MOVIE! It definitely deserves to be No. 1.. that movie was so compelling and I think years before it's time...

Those are really the only ones I have seen besides the one with Cliff and Elizabeth I forget what it's called.

I agree Casablanca was definately a great movie...but i still think Gone With the Wind shouldve been included.

and if we are going to go for greatest romantic moments from 80's movies...how could they exclude TOP GUN? now while im not the biggest fan of Tom Cruise...that whole seen with him and the girl finally together...the backdrop and that beautiful song "take my breath away".....that lightens even MY cynical heart to this day! :o

Definitely agree on Top Gun and GWTW. From that list I think only Say Anything and Casablanca would make my list. But there are some on there I haven't seen which might be why.

I'd add the poem scene in 10 Things I Hate About You. Most of Love Actually. Music From Another Room. The final kiss in Bridget Jones' Diary. Bull Durham. The end of When Harry Met Sally. An Affair to Remember. The Quiet Man. Han Solo and Princess Leia's kiss in Empire Strikes Back. Simply Irresistable. Cruel Intentions. I'm sure I'm missing some really good ones.

Farrah I can't believe you didn't say Moonstruck...
