My romance movies/TV series/short films ranking (so far)

by ngo-90 • Created 13 years ago • Modified 10 years ago
My romantic favourite films -at the begining of the list- up to now (with heterosexual and homosexual couples) and at the last positions others that I don't like soo much but I've seen them. You can read my opinion under some descriptions.
I'm spanish (from Spain-Europe) and on the lists are movies, TV series and short films from different countries.

NOW NOT ALL THE FILMS ARE IN THE POSITION THAT I WANT BECAUSE IMDB GIVEs ME PROBLEMS WITH THAT AND I CAN'T CHANGE THE ORDER, sorry.

I'll edit my list when I see new films and my preferences change. Thank you for your comments.
And sorry for my possible english mistakes.
Here you can know more romantic movies with lists made by me: http://ximiscelanea.blogspot.com.es/2011/04/recomendacion-de-peliculas-de-romance.html

Top 3 all categories:
1st position: Fingersmith.
2nd: Life is beautiful.
3rd: The best of youth.

It is possible, sometimes, the films on the last position aren¡t still placed where I want on the list.

    My opinion in spanish:

    10 razones para engancharse

    Sabía de la existencia de esta serie desde hace un tiempo pero como soy algo escéptica ante las versiones no me dio por verla hasta que me la recomendaron. Y a pesar de que creí estar cansada de las comedias americanas de instituto, ¡me encanta!

    Atrae la personalidad de Kat (Lindsey Shaw): ingeniosa, luchadora, atrevida, diferente y defensora del medio ambiente y de los derechos humanos. Patrick Verona (Ethan Peck), por su parte, es irresistible y misterioso. Se nota altamente la química entre los dos. Este es uno de los ingredientes que engancha. Hay que aplaudir la interpretacion ya que han conseguido posicionarse al nivel de nuestros actores de la película a pesar de que el listón estaba bastante alto.

    Se recomienda verla en versión original para poder escuchar la voz tan varonil, grave y sexy de Ethan Peck y la voz más firme y personal de Lindsey. Doblada pierde chispa y realismo para mi gusto.

    Meaghan Jette Martin (Bianca) consigue captar la esencia del personaje quizás incluso mejor que su predecesora Larisa Oleynik. Pero voya dejar de comparar ya porque película y serie siguen en realidad ritmos diferentes y ambas son únicas.

    Es una serie divertida y ágil que ha conseguido que me vea 17 capítulos seguidos en un día y que me la vuelva a ver, algo muy raro en mi.

    Y es una gran pena que la cancelaran en su 20º capítulo, ahora sólo nos queda imaginar y hacer campaña. Aunque también puede vérsele la parte positiva ya que no ha dado tiempo a la decadencia que sufren todas las series cuando no queda más que alargar forzadamente.

    15-year-old Kim has just moved to Brighton and developed an earth-shattering, hormone-surging crush on her new best friend, Sugar.
    CreatorKatie BaxendaleStarsOlivia HallinanLenora CrichlowRichard Lumsden
    You're not going to find here the perfect couple with a man and a woman with a highly beautiful love feelings between them. But I think that some of the characters of these amazing TV series have this feeling. You are going to find teenegers exploring their sexuality.

    Maybe the spanish movie that I like the most.
    My opinion in spanish:

    Extrañamente difícil de olvidar

    La interpretación de los protagonistas es excelente, inmejorable.
    Y, aunque el comportamiento de los personajes no tiene sentido y me da rabia, me ha conmovido y me ha hecho pensar, me ha gustado bastante y tengo ganas de volver a verla, cosa extraña en mÍ. Y es la primera película que me ha animado a hacerle una crítica y una de las pocas que me ha llevado después de verla a leer muchas críticas de otras personas, porque, como os dije, me hizo pensar, y a recomendarla.
    La banda sonora también me ha gustado.

    SPOILER:
    Opino que no tiene sentido, primero porque qué casualidad que los dos tan jóvenes vivan solos en la calle, por muy mal que estés con tu familia... en la m***** en la que se meten es de lo peor y sin necesidad… y de la que podrían salir (con lo jóvenes que son podrían encontrar un trabajo normal perfectamente…) y no les da la gana y me da rabia. Y no entiendo porqué el en un momento él le quiere dar a entender a ella que ya no la quiere.
    Aun así me ha gustado y se me quedarán grabados la dureza de sus miradas, su manera tan fuerte de enfrentarlo todo y el amor que se percibe entre ellos.
    La banda sonora también me ha agradado y el que "te follen" final impacta y es muy vulgar pero envía un mensaje claro.
