So many great moments: the band playing as the ship sinks, Rose (played by Kate Winslet) jumping back on the ship and telling Jack (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), ‘you jump I jump right,’ the intimate, nude drawing scene, Rose’s sunset bow kiss with Jack. James Cameron’s Oscar-winning masterpiece is hands-down the most romantic movie of our time. It has all of the elements of a great love story, including tragedy. A timeless tale about a rich debutante falling in love with a poor artist on the infamous doomed RMS Titanic. Admit it, you’re still having debates on whether Jack could have floated on the staircase with Rose and survived. And no matter how many times we know it's not going to happen, someone should have stopped old Rose from throwing that necklace into the water. Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” always leaves us with sweaty eyes.

Watch Titanic, rated R, on Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, Hulu, and Starz.

Another Leonardo DiCaprio heartthrob moment. “Young hearts could really run free” in Shakespeare’s remix about his doomed star-crossed lovers. DiCaprio and Claire Danes are Romeo and Juliet, who have what we understand now as ‘puppy love.’ You know the story: two teenage lovebirds who are kept apart by their feuding families. Our favorite scene: when they first laid eyes on each other at the fish tank and the balcony pool moment. OK, we have two favorite scenes. Nonetheless, both teens come to a tragic end by their own doing, which makes their story “never more of woe.” Also, it's young Leonardo DiCaprio. I know we keep saying that, but it’s young Leonardo DiCaprio!

Watch Romeo and Juliet, rated PG-13, on Amazon and Disney Plus.

What is love? Love is building a house for someone you're not even sure you'll see again, making out with them in a rainstorm when they do return, and reading your love story to them over and over again when they’re older.

(Spoiler Alert: “I’ll be seeing you.”) Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams play two teenage lovers in the 1940s. Life and their social circles pull them apart for years, but Noah (Gosling) never gave up on his Ally (McAdams). Once again, the ending always gets us!

Don’t mind our hungry eyes for Patrick Swayze in this 80’s romance flick. Jennifer Grey plays Baby, a teen who gets a little hot and heavy with a dance instructor at the resort her family is staying at for the summer. It’s lots of grinding, hip work, and hair swinging in this movie, that’s bound to get the juices flowing. And here’s our line, wait for it: “Nobody puts Baby in the corner.” A remake was made in 2017 but there’s nothing like the original. The movie is also a West End musical in London. In 2020 an official sequel starring Grey was announced. But it’ll be without her leading man, who died in 2009 of pancreatic cancer. Nonetheless, we can reflect on the way he moved his hips in those leather pants, sweaty muscles, and edgy bad boy persona in the 1987 classic. I mean, remember the actor, not the body. Or maybe both, whichever.

Together, they fall in love but a jealous duke seeks to tear them apart. Still, Satine’s deadly secret destroys a future with both men. After all, what’s a little music and love triangle without some tragedy? Not to mention, the lingerie costumes are great inspiration for role-playing, and Christina Aguilera, Mýa, Lil' Kim, and Pink’s rendition of “Lady Marmalade” makes great choreography for a private floor show. I mean, if you’re into those types of things.

The 2002 romantic, comedy stars Nia Vardalos, who wrote the movie, and John Corbett and NSYNC’s Joey Fatone.
