If you are a fellow lover of crying your eyes out over fictional characters on a screen, this article is for you! Just like in every good love story, you have to kiss a few frogs before finding the prince. So, why not skip through the frogs, or bad films, to get to the royal princes of love movies? Here are 5 of my favorite love stories that every romantic should watch!
1. "Pride and Prejudice"
True romance at its finest. A love story of two people from different backgrounds manage to overcome their prejudices, social expectations and own stubbornness to allow themselves to fall deeply in love. Oh, and you can't forget Mr. Darcy and those dreamy, tortured eyes!
2. "Leap Year"
This romantic comedy will make you laugh, grin from ear-to-ear and remind you that true love always finds a way! True love knows no boundaries as you will see in this film when Anna crosses the Atlantic Ocean all in the name of love.
3. "The Great Gatsby"
No, I have not seen the latest remake of the beloved story, but the original movie is incredible! Follow Jay and Daisy through the ups and downs of their dramatic roller coaster romance. If you love the glamour and thrill of the 1920s, you will feel like you are right in the heart of Prohibition New York!
4. "A Walk To Remember"
After reading the novel by Nicholas Sparks, I had to watch the film. Grab your tissues and popcorn before watching, though! Love is blind, and the best kind of love is an unlikely love. If you are a fan of dramatic love stories, this one will steal your heart.
5. "Before We Go"
I ended up watching this film for the sole purpose that Chris Evans starred in and directed it. In the end, I fell in love with this nontraditional love story. It is not a traditional American happily-ever-after love story, but the love is there nonetheless. As cliche as this sounds, I felt changed after watching this film, and I believe you will, too.
Possibly the best part about these movies is that they are all available on Netflix! So, grab a box of tissues, your favorite movie snack, sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
