View Full Version : Favorite Under-Rated Romantic Movie

Out of these three choices, what is your favorite? I think they are all really solid unappreciated romantic movies.

Untamed Heart: An emotional modern day fairy tale, with great performances from the leads. I heard originally they were going to call this movie "Baboon Heart", and I am rather thankful they decided against it. I cannot watch this one without crying.

Love & Basketball: One of the most honest portrayals of a friendship-turned-romance that I've seen captured on film. Very realistic chemistry between Epps and Lathan.

Before Sunrise: Entirely based on witty dialogue and interesting conversations. Kind of a romantic movie aimed towards intellectuals and not the regular movie-going public. I love the part of "Waking Life" that continues their relationship.

So, what are your thoughts? I know these movies were all critical flops but I think they are all worth seeing.

Love and Basketball. A nice little gem that never got the attention it needed :(

Actually I liked all three a lot...but I say Untamed Heart. That movie really got to me. Very touching.:D

Untamed Heart is a terrific movie. Very sad and touching. Marisa Tomei was damn sexy. ;)

Of your three options I voted for the charming and wonderfully written Before Sunrise (8/10)

Before Sunrise (I've not seen Love and Basketball and I loathed Untamed Heart).

I still maintain that Before Sunrise is the best thing Richard Linklater has ever done and I urge everyone here to see it.

Just a note, it is also one of the few films to score 100% 'fresh' reviews at Rotten Tomatoes.

Before Sunrise. Brilliant premise, brilliant execution. My #1 Modern Romance Film. Linklater is a god.

I'm a big Linklater fan, so I will say Before Sunrise (8/10), one word to describe this movie would be terrific!

I voted for Love and Basketball because, to be honest, it's the only one I've heard of...:o
