Time Out has put together a top 100 list for romantic movies, complied by 101 experts – film makers, actors, critics and writers. The top ten as voted were:

• Brief Encounter (1945)
• Casablanca (1942)
• In the Mood for Love (2000)
• Annie Hall (1977)
• Harold and Maude (1971)
• Brokeback Mountain (2005)
• The Apartment (1960)
• A Matter of Life and Death (1946)
• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
• Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

What do you think? I was a little surprised by the top ten, I must say, and I think if it had been just regular romantics such as me, rather than experts, picking then the results would have been quite different. For example, last year I did a survey of the most romantic films, and the results were Titanic at the top, followed by Gone with the Wind. Still, the 100 list is an excellent source of inspiration for new movies to try, especially classic ones.

On the Time Out website you can see the full countdown, and take part in a fun ‘How Many Have You Seen’ quiz.
