10 Movies That Can Renew Your Faith In Love

by Timothea Bradley

Some of us don’t need proof, we already know that true love exists, we just have to find it! But other people might need some reassurance or encouragement. Enter, the best romantic movies about love. 

Yes, you can be skeptical and claim that a movie is a fiction. Moreover, most recent movies are all about cliches and standard plots. But you will be surprised to learn that not all movies are so plain. 

Some nice films are worthy of your attention, even if you aren’t into romantic movies. Some of them might encourage you to start looking for love on such sites or apps as filipino-women.net or Tinder. So, here are your top-10 movies that can renew your faith in love.

Romeo + Juliet

Yes, let's start with the classics, but in a modern adaptation. This movie tells us the story we all already know - a love story with an unhappy ending. Yes, sometimes love doesn't grant a ‘they lived happily ever after’ ending. But the plot of Romeo + Juliet is worthy of your attention. You should also know that the movie is set during modern times, plus, Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes are the main leads. 

Carol

Everyone deserves true love and happiness, and this movie is all about it. Carol is about two women who fall in love. And unlike all other movies, these two women are the main leads. Instead of watching a lesbian love story as a background for two main heterosexual leads, you get to see an extremely interesting story of two women. Carol has a daughter and an almost ex-husband who doesn’t want her to be happy with another woman. View the movie to learn how it ends!

Before Trilogy

There is one extremely interesting trilogy above love - Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight. It is recommended to watch it in chronological order, but you can skip the first and the last movie, and watch the second. Or you can see a full trilogy, it’s worth it. Jesse and Celine met each other in Paris, and one evening changed their lives. They have arranged a meeting, but fate interfered and they couldn’t meet again. Watch the trilogy to learn their beautiful romantic story.

The Last of the Mohicans

You might have heard about this movie and you know that it's not exactly about love. It is set during 1757, during war times. Hawkeye, his father, and his brother have rescued three British ladies and one officer. That's when the main events begin. Sexual awakenings, love triangles, and other interesting things are waiting for you in the movie. 

The Big Sick

Good news! The story is based on a real story. That should do the trick and convince you that real love exists! The story was written by Kumail Nanjiani, who portrays himself in the movie. He and his future wife (yes, they got married in real life), have faced some obstacles on their way, but have managed to preserve their feelings. It's a romantic comedy and you won't regret watching it. 

Dirty Dancing

If you have seen it before, you can always revive your memories and watch it again. If you haven't seen it, then you absolutely should! It's already a classic movie that can convince anyone that real love exists and it has no boundaries. Dancing can be very appealing and sexy, it’s easy to fall in love. Watch the story of young Baby and Johnny, and enjoy their hot and sexy dancing. 

Titanic

Even if you have seen the story of Rose and Jack, this movie simply has to be included. Some people are skeptical about Titanic, they don't understand why things happened in certain crucial moments. But it’s not about the ending or crucial moments in the movie, it’s about love! Titanic is an iconic movie and it’s worth watching it!

Love Jones

It's a story about two creative individuals - Darius and Nina. They meet each other at a bar, spend time, and eventually spend the night. They fall in love, but their story is not as simple as it sounds. Check out the movie to learn what happens with Darius and Nina. 

The Notebook

This movie might be so appealing because the main leads - Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams have been dating for several years. They portray Noah and Allie respectively. Alley comes from a wealthy family, unlike Noah. They fall in love during one beautiful summer, but Allie's parents are against Noah. Watch the full movie to learn what happens. 

Edward Scissorhands

First of all, you have to watch it because of the cast. Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands and Winona Ryder as Kim are worthy of your attention. Their love story wasn’t meant to begin in the first place. But they fell deeply in love against all odds. Watch their story and you will believe that love knows no boundaries.
