Romance. Not to be Mistaken with Romantic Comedy.

In this filmography of the top 25 romantic movies to date, I was startled but not at all in disagreement when I saw films like Beauty & The Beast and Edward Scissorhands in the list. The top 25 according to this site includes the predictable contributions of Breakfast at Tiffany's and Jerry Maguire, but in my opinion was a litte more expansive in its definition of the "romantic" genre according to its selections. If I were to make a list, I think I would put Rocky in it, because it fits my idea of a romance, and not just because of the love sotry between Rocky and Adrian.

The creators of the list make sure to emphasize that it is a list of the best romantic dramas, which may have some comedic unertones, as opposed to the list being a top 25 greatest romantic comedies compilation with films consisting of some dramatic undertones. I think it is very wise of the to emphasize their idea of the romance, since with films like Good Luck Chuck and The Heartbreak Kid being all we have to look forward to in the new releases of a romantic genre, it is easy to get the genres twisted.
