This film MEDICINE FOR MELANCHOLY. Most anticipated of the year for me.
Twilight was my favorite love story
The Proposal was my favorite.
I haven’t seen a good one this year and there isn’t one i’m looking forward to.
My favorite was 500 Days of Summer
THE GARDEN OF EDEN
I think the Proposal was one of the better love storys
My favorite is Nights in Rodanthe.
500 Days of Summer
Has to be The Proposal!
500 Days of Summer would have to be my favorite so far.
The Proposal is my pick.
only the proposal so far..that was funny
I am really looking foward to seeing New Moon..a different kind of love story with teeth..lol
the proposal
the proposal would be the best
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!
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!
The Proposal was my favorite so far.
only liked the proposal because i’m a sandra bullock fan
I would say the proposal
My favorite is Nights in Rodanthe.
He’s just not into you – at least it was realistic
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.
the proposal
Umm, none, I guess 500 Days of Summer
The Proposal
The Proposal
The Proposal
the proposal was the only one to come to mind
I liked The Proposal. Thanks!
Angels and Demoms
i want to win
The Proposal
The first 15 minutes of “Up” was the best love story I’ve seen in a long time.
this year was slim pickens but the proposal would be the best
i\’ll be honest, none.
Six Days, Seven Nights starring Harrison Ford, Anne Heche is my all time favorite movie.
So far THE PROPOSAL is my favorite.
My favorite is Nights in Rodanthe even though i spent the last half hour of the movie crying my eyes out
The Proposal was my favorite. Thanks so much.
500 Days of Summer was my favorite love story of 2009 so far!
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.
My favorite this year was The Proposal! Cheesy but good…
AWAY WE GO, by sam mendes!
i\’ve jsut feel in love with this romcom!
’500 Days Of Summer’ was charming and cute…
thanks
My favorite this year was Nights in Rodanthe!
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.
