1. Casablanca (1942)
Romantic Leads: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman
How Romantic: You know the story, yet this film remains a Hollywood classic in which all the elements--acting, script, direction, photography, music--come together with panache. It's a cliché, but it's true: They don't make 'em like this anymore.

How Romantic: A tale about a chauffeur's daughter living on a wealthy Long Island family's estate who falls for the family's playboy-ish son, but later realizes that his all-business, serious older brother is the one she really loves.

3. When Harry Met Sally (1989)
Romantic Leads: Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan
How Romantic: The movie's love-struck climax comes at a New Year's Eve celebration when Harry runs miles and miles to tell Sally: "I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."

4. Gone With the Wind (1939)
Romantic Leads: Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh
How Romantic: The epic story of a woman who can cope with everything during the Civil War except losing the love of the man she thinks she wants to another woman, then realizes too late that she's let the true love of her life slip through her fingers forever. It's devastatingly sad that the two destined lovebirds simply can't communicate enough to be together.
