It may not be considered a “romance”, but I enjoyed the romantic relationship in “Public Enemies”. Or maybe I’m just a little in love with Johnny Depp myself.

October 14th, 2009 at 1:12 am
I don’t like movie love stories anymore. They make me gag. The love story in Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs is as far as I want to go. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:28 am
500 Days of Summer was my favorite love story of 2009 so far!
October 14th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
The Proposal was my favorite. Thanks so much.
October 14th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
My favorite is Nights in Rodanthe even though i spent the last half hour of the movie crying my eyes out
October 14th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
So far THE PROPOSAL is my favorite.
October 14th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Six Days, Seven Nights starring Harrison Ford, Anne Heche is my all time favorite movie.
October 14th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
i\’ll be honest, none.
October 15th, 2009 at 2:11 am
this year was slim pickens but the proposal would be the best
October 15th, 2009 at 7:16 am
The first 15 minutes of “Up” was the best love story I’ve seen in a long time.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:35 am

October 28th, 2009 at 1:14 am
500 Days of Summer. It was cool, (and it was the only love story movie that I recall seeing this year) but I’ll take a great drama or phychological thriller any time over that.
October 28th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
He’s just not into you – at least it was realistic
October 30th, 2009 at 5:49 am

October 30th, 2009 at 9:37 am

October 30th, 2009 at 10:05 am
The Proposal was my favorite so far.
October 30th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
Even though it is positioned as a non-love story, there is an aspect of love to “( 500 ) Days of Summer”; that would be my choice!
October 30th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Tough call, but I’m also going to go with “Away We Go” – I thought Maya and John made an adorable, quirky couple, and their relationship was extremely touching and realistically portrayed. One of my favorite movies of the year overall!
October 30th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
the proposal would be the best
October 30th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
