Both the Romance and romantic movies are timeless. Several of us love romantic movies and has the own choice or collection of romance movie.
No doubt, that the romantic movies keep the idea of romance alive, and most of such movies serves with purpose.
Doesn’t matter how happy or heartbreaking the ending is, the romantic love stories are loved by its audience for entertaining them and keeping their dream breathing.
It begs a question... It is what that makes a great romance movie?
Not the all actress or actors fit in love movies, only few actors and actresses who are the first choice for sweet romance movies and some aren’t.
There are some romantic love stories that are simply remarkable and there are some stories that make you wonder who made it the first place.
I believe that there are at least four criteria:
First and foremost, the leads in the movie must be 'likable', meaning that the target audience love them and believe that they are lovers or can be lovers in real life.
Which means that they must have chemistry between them? When the chemistry is there, it makes the interactions in the movie likable and believable. And it is important for the audience to like the leads for them to 'get' the movie.
2. Simple And Clear Storyline
Another important Criterion of a Great Romance Movie is the storyline.
It has to be simple and clear, so that the audience can understand what is going on in the movie, which means, who are the parties in love and what is the situation.
Romance films are not good grounds to do plot twist and turns as it will turn off the viewers as it will interfere with the viewers’ enjoyment of the romance. An example of good storyline, was the movie adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, in 2005.
The movie did an outstanding job in portraying the romance of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Darcy, showing the 'games' that both played with each other till they eventually fell in love in the end.
3. Movie Location / Background
The role of the movie location and background is to support and enhance the Romance films. It is not very important, but it does play a role.
The background refers to the cast that surrounds the leads, for example, family members or office mate.
The movie location refers where the movie is situated. Usually, it is the movie locations that spice up the romance. A good example of the movie background is the cast of Four Weddings and a Funeral.
A good example of movie location would be the location of Venice and Positano in Only You, starring Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey, where it made the romance in the movie magical, with glorious location scenes, Italian language and songs.
4. Excellent Movie Song / Soundtrack
And finally, the killer criteria would be the song or soundtrack of the movie, as it enhances and reminds the viewer of the sweet romance movies experience. Usually, it would be a pop song sung by the popular artist and it becomes a chart topper.
The song functions as a killer hook that drives the success of the movie and does help the commercial success of the movie soundtrack and the movie itself. In the movie, the song typically appears either as a short music clip or becomes an instrumental background.
Well, those are the four criteria that I think what makes a romantic movie great. There might be others, but these are the four main criteria and when all four criteria appear in a romantic movie, it is almost certain that the movie becomes a commercial and critical hit.
No doubt, that the romantic movies keep the idea of romance alive, and most of such movies serves with purpose.
Doesn’t matter how happy or heartbreaking the ending is, the romantic love stories are loved by its audience for entertaining them and keeping their dream breathing.
