Top 7 Romantic Movies That Will Make You Believe In Love

by Karl Murphy

Some people love watching action movies, others prefer detective stories, etc. We all have our interests and preferences, but what about love stories in cinematography? A lot of people don't even watch love movies anymore since the love stories depicted are far from reality. Let’s face it, love at first sight rarely has a happy ending due to both individuals getting to know each other better.

And yes, sometimes what we find out about the other person’s personality is not acceptable or suitable. And romantic relationships are not always about happiness, fun, and pleasure. That’s why dating sites like topforeignbrides.com are so popular nowadays, people know the value of compatibility. But in the movies, the scriptwriters present everything in a way too unrealistic light.

So, why watch romantic movies when they depict unrealistic relationships? Usually, you can predict such movies - a man and a woman meet each other, fall in love, then they break up because one of them lied, then they overcome the struggles and get back together. But there are worthy movies about real relationships. In this article, you can find out about movies that are more realistic and yet optimistic.

Edward Scissorhands

First of all, Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder in this movie already hint to you that it’s going to be good. Second, the movie is not a typical love story - obviously, it was directed by Tim Burton himself. Imagine a peaceful neighborhood, with identical houses, painted in identical vanilla colors.

It seems that every family is the same. Youngsters date each other in high school, then get married, then have kids. Well, that’s not exactly the fate that awaits the two main heroes of the movie. It’s a story about true love and the struggles that face two individuals from two different worlds.

Good Will Hunting

It's not a conventional love story for sure. The film is about a psychologist who lost his loved one, and about a younger man who wants to find his place. The younger man is a math genius who can't fit into the world. He is in love, but unfortunately, the woman he loves doesn't respond with mutual feelings.

It's a story that tells us that first of all, we should learn how to take care of ourselves. It teaches us that it's important to love ourselves, that's when we can win other people's hearts. The story also depicts true friendship and some struggles that people face in life.

Amour

It’s not a traditional love story which makes it even better. The plot is centered around an elderly couple, Anne and George. They have a daughter, both of them are retired, piano teachers. They spent the life together and they clearly still love and care about each other. But the movie is not about their youth, the movie is about what comes later. Even after “They lived happily ever after”.

The story depicted in Amour shows and proves that true love exists, even when you are old and at the dawn of life. It’s a story that can touch anyone’s heart. It’s about life choices and extremely difficult situations that couples may eventually face in their lives. It’s definitely worth watching alone or with a partner.

Sideways

It's a comedy that will definitely set a great mood. It tells us the story of two friends who drive to Santa Barbara's wine country. One of the two friends is about to get married, so this trip is almost like a bachelor party.

It's a fun story about love and friendship, loyalty and freedom. Sometimes it questions the sole existence of true love, and yet it proves that it does exist. The movie gives hope that no matter what happens in your life, you have to believe that true feelings do exist.

Moonrise Kingdom

Love is not always about adults falling in love. And no, Moonrise Kingdom is not about immature kids, like in Romeo and Juliet. Moonrise Kingdom shows pure love. The story is centered around two twelve-year-old teens Sam and Suzy. Both are introverts but extremely intelligent.

Sam and Suzy are from two different worlds. Sam is an orphan while Suzy has parents and three brothers. Both teens are mature for their age, so they fall in love. The movie shows the struggles of these two kids. The film is worth watching whether with a partner, friends or even alone to boost your mood.

In Your Eyes

A very unusual love story that proves the connection of minds is very important in relationships. It’s a story about Dylan and Rebecca, and their very unusual connection. The movie proves that you can fall in love with someone even if you live miles away. The movie is not a typical love story and when you realize what is happening, you will want to see how it all ends.

Bram Stoker's Dracula

You haven’t accepted this movie to be on the list, have you? But most character’s actions are driven by love. As you probably are aware, it’s about Dracula, Mina, and Jonathan who are in a love triangle.

Vlad Dracula is cursed after denying the existence of God. His heart was broken after his wife committed suicide. Years later, he sees a picture of Mina who resembles his wife. That’s when the main action begins. Even though it’s a horror movie, it still shows what people do for love. It’s definitely worth watching the movie, plus, the cast is truly amazing.

Conclusion

As you can see, there are worthy movies that aren’t just about a “boy meets girl” reality. There are interesting movies that you can watch with your partner. These movies have interesting plots and unconventional plots.

Some of them are funny, some are sad, there is even a horror movie. But they certainly stand out from the crowd of all those “copy-paste” romantic tales. Maybe, these films won’t make you believe in love, but they are certainly worthy of watching.
