The Notebook. Starring Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, Gena Rowlands, and James Garner, this movie is easily one of the all time great romance movies. Written by Jeremy Leven and Jan Sardi, the film chronicles an uncommon love story. It opens to a view of an elderly man reading aloud to an invalid older woman.

The movie moves back and forth between the present and the past showing the relationships between both the older and younger couples. As the movie progresses, the audience learns more about both couples and is treated to a romance for the ages.

Titanic. The telling of a beautiful love story against the backdrop of one of history's most tragic events makes Titanic a story for the ages. Starring Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt, a daughter of privilege, and Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson, a poor young artist, the film deftly depicts the true meaning of star-crossed love. When the great ship strikes an iceberg and begins to sink, Rose and Jack have only each other to hang on to as their world around them falls away. Written and directed with sheer perfection by James Cameron, the love story never loses center stage even to the film's spectacular special effects. Haunting music and stunning cinema photography, complete the picture, making Titanic a movie that shouldn't be missed.
