	Brief encounter and The Bridges of Madison County are both favourites of mine. But I am soft and love films like White Christmas and High society. Then there is On Golden Pond. And how about Cary Grant in Houseboat. Carousel as well. Just realised they are all old ones lol!

	Hi Elizabeth :-) I really like many of the films posted above One of my all-time favourite films is TOOTSIE with Dustin Hoffman and Jessica Lange. For those who haven't seen it before, it's about an out of work actor who dresses as a woman to get a role, but then falls in love with the leading lady! Then there's ROMANCING THE STONE, with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. Anything with Sandra Bullock (especially SPEED) and Meg Ryan. WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING ... Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman THE FRENCH KISS with Meg Ryan and Gérard Depardieu NOTTING HILL - Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED ... Kathleen Turner and Nicolas Cage YANKS ... Richard Gere and Lisa Eichhorn NADINE ... Kim Basinger and Jeff Bridges SABRINA ... Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford SIX DAYS SEVEN NIGHTS .... Anne Heche and Harrison Ford THE THRILL OF IT ALL .... Doris Day and James Garner I shall think of some more! :-D

	I have not seen any of the films so far mentioned but does Crocodile Dundee count? I also thought Nicholas Lyndhurst was an excellent romantic lead as Freddie Robdall in the prequel to Only Fools and Horses, Rock and Chips.

	I'm with you Jemima. Tootsie is a favourite of mine too. For anyone who hasn't seen it, don't switch off after the first few minutes thinking it's not for you. The first bit is really just setting up the background to the story. Another favourite is The Lion in Winter but I'm not sure that would usually be considered a romance. I've enjoyed some of the others mentioned but often think the book is better eg Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

	Tootsie is great, thanks for the reminder I will dig it out and watch it ( video !) I saw it with Aussie friends when it first came out, fun evening followed by them singing Waltzing Matilda on the train home :-D
