Casablanca (1942)
One of the most romantic movies ever made, Humphrey Bogart plays Rick, an expatriate American who runs the Casablanca nightspot when Ingrid Bergman (his former lover) walks back into his life. The screen chemistry between Bogie and Bergman is almost palpable; sexual sparks fly and the emotional tension is mesmerizing.
The Philadelphia Story (1940)
Katherine Hepburn plays Tracy Lord, an heiress who divorces her playboy husband C.K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant).

West Side Story (1961)
The musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet set in New York City, where rival street gangs (the Jets and the Sharks) battle for territory. The love affair between former Jets leader Tony (Richard Beymer), and Maria (Natalie Wood), sister to Sharks' leader Bernardo leads to a gorgeous musical score and dramatic dance sequences.
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
Audrey Hepburn is Holly Golightly a young, high-priced escort in New York City who meets Paul 'Fred' Varjak (George Peppard). Holly's lifestyle confuses and fascinates Paul; in public she flits through parties with a sexy, sophisticated air, but when they're alone she changes into a sweetly vulnerable bundle of nerves.
The African Queen (1951)
A classic adventure film and an "opposites attract" romantic movie rolled in to one. Humphrey Bogart plays the hard drinking owner of a tiny riverboat plying the rivers of British East Africa while Katherine Hepburn plays the prim and proper spinster - and the two soon develop an endearing romantic relationship.
