The Princess Bride

"Hugs & Kisses".  We see this message emblazoned on chalky candy hearts and sappy cards for Valentine's Day every year.  There are racks of novels at libraries and bookstores ready to fill us with tales of this topic.  When it comes to film there are countless romances, comedies and dramas that play on this phrase.  That's a good thing too because it's our theme for this next round of picks.

What better film to kick things off and put us in the mood for romance but the classic 1987 film, The Princess Bride.  Based on the 1973 William Goldman novel and brought to us by the wizard of love himself Rob Reiner this film stars Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Fred Savage, Andre the Giant and a host of others.  It holds a special place in our hearts and we hope you can enjoy it with your own special someone.

As usual we veer off on tangents but try to stay on topic and dig into what is a romance movie really.  Finally, we respond to the question we know you're burning for us to answer... are we romantic?
