Theme: Love and Romance

There are few films that do not feature some romantic element to them somewhere, traditionally an attraction between the leading man and lady or in more recent years between same sex couples. Romance can be both a subplot in a film or else an entire genre on its own focusing on the attraction between two people, usually delivered with a maximum of heart-tugging emotional catharsis.

Genre variants include attractions between humans and non-human entities that can range from angels to ghosts and androids to persons in different eras of time to even love being something that has the power to transcend life and death.

The Romantic Comedy is its own genre and concerns a light, upbeat fantasy where the focus is on romance with the addition of comedy elements. Not all romance films fit into this category. Some can also be relationship dramas ie. what happens after the initial attraction, or else take their romance more seriously and sometimes tragically. For what happens after people take their clothes off see Sex in Fantastic Cinema.
