I don't know what you guys think. But as usual, I think that this list is all kinds of wrong. Titanic as #1? Once as #3? As if. Eternal Sunshine over When Harry Met Sally? No way!
No Sleepless in Seattle? No Forrest Gump (JENNY!!!)? I even think Wall-e deserves a slot on there.
What do you guys think?

I agree with you, they are smoking crack if they don't put The Notebook on that list, and I'd argue in the top 10! I think a man came up with this list! Moulin Rouge? Really? The Wedding Singer? There's Somthing About Mary? Those are not romantic films! They missed the mark on this one!!!
I can't argue with some like Brokeback Mountain, Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman, Titanic... but I do agree that some goodies were left off here and some are certainly way out of order! The Notebook belongs on there for sure and Sleepless in Seattle - hey, even You've Got Mail hit my heartstrings FAR more than many of those on the list.
I actually loved Moulin Rouge...but #2 is a bit high, yes. And I totally agree that The Wedding Singer and Mary - both cute movies - have no business being on a Top 25 List. And I totally forgot about The Notebook! That's blasphemy.
And a few more to throw out there: The American President, While You Were Sleeping and The Princess Bride.
OH The Princess Bride! Yes, I agree absolutely! I fell in love with Wesley! I do agree with Out of Africa and Say Anything. But where's Bridges of Maddison County or Ghost? Shakespere In Love? The English Patient? what do they know!
