The best romantic movies to watch with a guy
this is a plea From every man to your beloved wife or girlfriend, please let us commit to the best romantic movies to watch. We men would sit through the movie Overboard and Fifty First Dates, maybe I should elaborate on this.
It is a fact that women dress their best to please other women and men dress their best to please women. With that in mind, men will do anything to please women. Even watch romantic movies with our favorite girl. “Romance” movies that men will never watch alone and definitely never watch with their friends.
Of course, we men will say yes to a romantic movie with you, but ladies, you need to understand that men (and I think I speak for most of us) have a limited attention span when it comes to movies. If the movie doesn’t have a car chase, a gunfight, lots of blood and gore, a raucous comedy, or a bikini or two, our male mind will wander elsewhere. Which reminds me, please don’t ask us about that romantic movie we just saw.
So what do you say in our next pick for the best romantic movie that we compromise and pick a romantic/comedy or romantic/action or romantic/comedy/action movie? Bikinis are not a priority!
In fact, I really like Overboard movie and Fifty First Dates, but other than those, I have some other best romantic movies list suggestions right here…
Overboard – 1987
Starring: Kurt Russel as Dean Proffitt, Goldie Hawn as Joanna Stayton. Also Michael Hagerty, Edward Herrmann, Katherine Helmond.
Rich and filthy snobbish Joanna Stayton and her husband Grant Stayton III disembark their yacht in a small port in Oregon. Spoiled brat Joanna hires one of the locals to build a wardrobe on her yacht. Dean Proffitt built the wardrobe, got into an argument with Joanna, and was kicked off the yacht, unpaid and a little distraught. Suddenly Mrs. Stayton falls overboard and no one on the yacht notices. With a severe case of amnesia, Joanna Stayton was found and later put on local television. Dean Proffitt, the stranded carpenter, sees this opportunity for revenge and the boys sit down, convincing the once very wealthy Mrs. Stayton that her name is Annie Proffitt and that she is his wife and mother of four. unpleasant. Proffitt’s plan works for a while before he remembers. Very funny, a must see movie.
Romancing the stone – 1984
Starring: Micheal Douglas as Jack Colton, Kathleen Turner as Joan Wilder, Danny DeVito as Ralph.
With a mysterious map in hand, Joan Wilder, a romance novelist, flies in from New York and ends up in the rural jungles of Columbia. She is almost killed by the locals of Zolo, who are led by a corrupt Colombian policeman, and is saved by an American bully-type hero, Jack T. Colton. Jack agrees to take Joan back to civilization, to a safe place with added obstacles, like the most wanted emerald, the mysterious map and a con man named Ralph who is on their trail. This thrilling jungle adventure ride offers plenty of action, comedy, and romance.
Always – 1989
Starring: Richard Dreyfuss, John Goodman, Holly Hunter.
Steven Spielberg directed this romantic fantasy film about an aerial firefighter who dies in an accident and leaves behind a very distraught girlfriend. The pilot returns as a ghost and helps a rookie become the best firefighting pilot, but the rookie falls in love with the dead pilot’s girlfriend. A very moving movie, but one that also has action and comedy.
Fifty First Dates – 19
Starring: Adam Sandler as Henry Roth, Drew Barrymore as Lucy Whitemore, Sean Astin and Blake Clark as Lucy and Rob Schneider’s brother and father.
Of the best romantic movies to watch, this one leans more towards women’s choices than men’s. The comedy definitely helps the man like it too.
In a Hawaiian paradise, freewheeling womanizer Henry Roth meets Lucy Whitemore and immediately hits it off with her. The next day when seeing Henry, Lucy does not remember anything. She has short-term memory loss. Lucy’s father and brother recreate every day just for her with a birthday and all. Each day is repeated over and over again as if it were a completely new day. Good fun movie and if romantic.
The Proposal – 2009
Starring: Ryan Reynolds as Andrew Paxton, Sandra Bullock as Margaret Tate, Craig T. Nelson, Mary Steenburgen, Betty White.
Margaret Tate is a strict editor for a New York publishing house. Canadian Margaret is facing deportation due to her expired visa and she decides to marry her slave assistant Andrew Paxton with the promise of a big promotion, to which he agreed. Funny goofy humor, a great romantic comedy.
Wedding on Wedding – 2005
Starring: Owen Wilson as John Beckwith, Vince Vaughn as Jeremy Gray, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Christopher Walken.
Jeremy Gray and John Beckwith are lifelong friends and business partners as divorce mediators. These two intensely share a unique hobby. Weddings collide from all walks of life and religions. Having fun for free and meeting girls is what it’s all about. While investigating to crash the upcoming wedding, John and Jeremy end up on a lavish affair where they meet two wealthy daughters, Claire and Gloria Cleary and, of course, fall in love with them. This leads them to a large estate on an island that these girls reside on. That’s where the trouble starts and John and Jeremy’s lies about the ‘wedding guest’ don’t work. More comedy than romance in this hilarious movie. I would say that this movie teeters more towards a men’s movie.
okay, Wedding Crashers may or may not be on the verge of being a romantic movie. But the movie Overboard and Fifty First Dates definitely fall within the parameters of one of the best romantic movies. Watch any of these movies with your loved one for a quiet, romantic evening. I’m sure you won’t regret it.
Regards, Cinema Serge.
