Introduction
“Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze” – Elinor Glyn. There is always a love story waiting to be seen and heard, and if you know where to look and whether you admit it or not, everyone does yearn for the best romantic movies, now and then. The notion of romance is something very personal. Still, I think we can all agree that there is no love like an on-screen romance, with all its hype and exaggerations that make us fall more deeply in love with the idea of love and sets the bar high for any of our romantic endeavours.
The hidden romantic in us has prepared you a list of some of the best romance movies ever to be released to make your heart swell with all sorts of emotions.
