Who is ready for some classic romance? ME! Two hands up! Most of these I have heard of referenced as famous classic love stories in other movies or books and excited to go back to the good old days for a bit of LOVE in February! These are all classic romances (pre 1970)

This is poll B, go vote on POLL A as well and then the top 2 from each will showdown in a final poll!

Thanks for your suggestions <3

Comments

Matt Rose

ok, good...it's back. I'm voting for IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT and BRINGING UP BABY but all of these are great.

Nerd Jared

Welp, I'm gonna vote for one but I got no clue on this one lol

Leonard

Sunday in the park with George

Brian McGovern

You know. I don’t think I have seen any of these except for Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner. FYI, This was Spencer Tracey’s last film. I think he died a few days or weeks after finishing filming this movie.

Tay Schumaker

My Fair Lady is of course great, but Bringing Up Baby was one of my favorites as a kid

Bill Maurer

Cary Grant. Can't be much better than him

Rose

My Fair Lady is so wonderful - would be fantastic if you saw two classics that are musicals. However - It Happened One Night is my absolute favorite out of both polls. Pillow Talk is great as well! I love the chemistry between Rock Hudson & Doris Day.

Ria Grix

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK is just brilliant. Robert Redford and Jane Fonda at the their most beautiful. It’s funny, it’s romantic. It’s perfect popcorn.

rubberkidney

pygmalion is a pure classic of the highest order and really the only choice on this list.

Mike LL

Guys, a romantic movie please! My Fair Lady isn’t that romantic! Sheesh!

Celeste McAllister

'My Fair Lady' absolutely wonderful if it wins Cassie,I've been pulling for MFL for two years,now you're going to see why! 🌹❤💙🍸

Michael T

"Notorious" is brilliant, but it's actually suspense, not really a romance... "My Fair Lady" is a lovely stage musical, but unfortunately not a very good movie... Finally, I love "It Happened One Night" and I hope it wins!!

Ike

Gotta be honest, I know none of these movies. I’ll vote if there is a tie-breaker.

Andrew Ramos

"It Happened one Night" sounds alright to me

Stick Figure Studios

On this one I vote for the classic screwball comedies IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT and BRINGING UP BABY, although I would also be fine with MY FAIR LADY winning.

Above Average Dave

HIS GIRL FRIDAY and there should be nothing even close. The birth of the Screwball RomCom where the woman was just as smart (or smarter) than the man. Plus, Cary Grant And Rosalind Russell, both movie star s who could act circles around just about any actor and actress, then or now. BRINGING UP BABY is another brilliant iteration of the formula, also with Cary Grant, with Kate Hepburn as his foil.

Danny (Icarus)

It happened one night is one of my all time favorites, Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert are a great pair. Bringing up baby is also so funny. You really can't go wrong with any of the choices, all winners.👍

John Liebling
>>127444720

He was so old; he could no longer remember his lines. When you see him look down, that's not an acting choice, he's reading large q-cards on the floor. And tears from Katherine, are because she knows her one true love isn't going to last much longer.

AC5555

You NEED to see Notorious some point. Some of my favorite editing ever done, my favorite Hitchcock film, a brilliant Claude Raines picture, and a steamy Ingrid Bergman performance. I find it more of a sexual spy suspense thriller tbh

AC5555
>>127445112

I want her to continue the Hitchcock watch through. She’s stopped too long 😢

AC5555
>>127445105

If that wins and singing in the rain does too, she’s watching romantic musicals not strictly romantic films.

sarCC

Notorious and His Girl Friday are two of my favorite movies of all-time, and two of the best on-screen romances!!!

Dan M
>>127445486

Just spend a weekend with AMC on…you’re bound to see some of these at some point.

Steven M.

Hey Cassie (and Carly?) Actually every movie on the list should be reacted to ... l dont know His Girl Friday so maybe not that one? React to two great romance flicks every week and on the 4th week do The Ghost And Mrs. Muir and Laura ... maybe An Affair To Remember on the 29th? Thank you ladies for all the laughter and TERROR that you share with us. You to are the greatest!

Dan M
>>127444856

Its tough…I’m bouncing back and forth between four of them

Mitch M

My personal fave classic romance is Born Yesterday, so maybe on a later poll that can get some love.

Rick Williams

What's the secret? I can't vote.

Mark Vaderr

I love that MY FAIR LADY is ahead, but I wish that BRINGING UP BABY was doing better.

Astraeos

Though I will vote for My Fair Lady just cause Audrey Hepburn needs to be seen by more people. Though it was quite the scandal at the time when Hepburn got the part for the movie, and not Julie Andrews. They wanted a star, which Andrews would become a massive star just a year later. Either way, they gotta timeless classic out of My Fair Lady.

Jacob King
>>127446931

His Girl Friday is still funnier and faster paced than most comedy movies released in the past decade - well worth checking out even if they don’t do a reaction.

Jacob King

Bringing Up Baby is my favourite on this list.

John Liebling

I will say this, an unexpected, good thing came from both polls...there are a lot more in the PIB community who are eager for Cassie and Carly to dive into the wonderful world of musicals.

thansen
>>127445991

I agree. And there are maybe a dozen Cary Grant movies in the rom-com category I would recommend.

John Liebling
>>127447591

Julie deserved the part, but if she was given it she wouldn't have Mary Poppins. Or perhaps they would have waited for her. After all there was nobody else who could have played the part. Amazing Julie Andrews is 88 and Dick Van Dyke is 98.

Brian Harris

It’s interesting what has a reputation as a romantic film. I never thought of My Fair Lady as a romance, I always thought of it as a movie about an unexpected friendship. But I guess it’s ambiguous enough that it could be played that way. Barefoot in the Park and It Happened One Night are both terrific too.

thansen

I have seen all of those except My Fair Lady so this might be my chance to watch it. The rest are all great films. If I had to pick just one I might just go with Pillow Talk. It's Rock Hudson, Doris Day and Tony Randall at their best.

Hunter DeRensis

My votes are definitely for Notorious (one of Hitchcock's best romances) and It Happened One Night (the original and still gold standard in romcoms) but the musicals are going to blow past every romantic comedy in both polls lol

Bill Hayden

At some point you should watch just about all of these movies.

Patreot

Cassie, just so you know, only one of the films in these polls is actually what one would consider a Classic Romance film- “An Affair To Remember.” The others on these lists are all representative of different classic genres that involve romance but aren’t proper Romance films- they’re romantic comedies, screwball comedies, musicals, dramas and suspense- but not proper Romance films. All great films though. Key Largo, which is a gritty, tense film noir, really shouldn’t be on this list at all imo.

Thomas Thompson

Three of these are screwball comedies not romance.

Patreot
>>127445112

You’re right, My Fair Lady isn’t a very good movie; it’s a GREAT movie.

D. T. Nelson

Another difficult decision. My Fair Lady is a musical, so that might present problems in editing because you'd have to silence the music parts, probably. As a theater guy, I'll go with my other choice—Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park. (You like Robert Redford, right?)

Larry Darrell

Hey Everyone… Y'all are missing some Info. Barefoot in the Park is from 1967. So that’s the one you probably want to be voting for. ;-)

David Conroy
>>127450670

Well, the screwball comedies were all rom-coms, so they count. That said, as a purist I insist His Girl Friday (which I think is the best film on the list) is not a screwball. I know people call it that, but it's a remake of a drama and lacks the thematic and plot elements that marked the true screwballs.

Travis Starnes

His girl friday is such a fast paced, funny, well acted and lovely movie. You would enjoy it so much.

Keith Brown

If you do get around to "Pillow Talk" please check out the follow up movie all the lead actors re teamed to do "Lover Come Back" it's even funnier !

Keith Brown

The musicals seem to be leading in the polls.Hope you can get by the copyright issues. They may be the shortest YouTube videos you will be showing.

Above Average Dave
>>127446931

100% The chemistry between Grant and Russell is incandescent. And she was one of the few actress, along with Kate Hepburn and Grace Kelly, who could hold the screen with him line-for-line. But I think Russell was the best, and a rare combination - an actress of the highest order AND a movie star.

Shawn Kildal

6 Cary Grant movies and it looks like none of them are going to make it. Dang it. We should have a Cary Grant week.

Brian W
>>127455447

I am 100% on board, and HIGHLY recommend, that this happens. Cary is too good to not be seen multiple times here.

John Cranberry

Pillow talk, remember watching this growing up.

Mike LL
>>127444856

I believe that IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT is the type of romantic movie she had in mind to watch in February. That it is a comedy also is a bonus.

Mike LL
>>127447481

This is one reason why I want just a poll of movies from the 1930's and a separate poll of movies from the 1940's the next time Cassie wants to do some more from the classic era.

G

This list is more difficult than the first. I have to go with His Girl Friday.

Mike LL
>>127447591

My parents had the Broadway Cast album with Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison. It was a wonderful album. Listening to Julie sing I Can Dance All Night is sublime.

Mike LL
>>127448260

You are not wrong. But these are the movies Cassie has chosen for the poll and it is what we have to work with. It's up to us to present her with the best choices.

Peter Dillard

Hard choices since I love musicals but the dialogue in 'His Girl Friday' is so witty and quick I had to go for it. Now if you'd had 'Gigi' or 'An American in Paris'....

Mike LL
>>127450670

I agree with David. Bringing Up Baby is the true screwball comedy on these polls. The Front Page has been remade many, many times, His Girl Friday is just one of them. Heck, there is even a Jack Lemmom/Walter Matthau version of The Front Page from the 70's.

Jacob King
>>127445105

The musicals are doing well because they’re the only musicals on their respective lists. On the next poll the musical people will have to choose and the people who prefer non-musicals will be glomped together.

Clay F

I voted all but My Fair Lady. Thus, I voted 6 of the 7: --Barefoot in the Park (1967) [For the latest pairing of Redford/Jane Fonda, see Our Souls at Night (2017).] --Pillow Talk (1959) [Doris Day and Rock Hudson became lifelong friends.] [I watched The Doris Day Show as a kid in the early 70s.] --Notorious (1946) [I like the look of this storyline.] --It Happened One Night (1934) --Bringing up Baby (1938) --His Girl Friday (1940)

Astraeos

Well the results for both polls are definitely showing that people are kinda wanting Musicals lol. I'm actually all for it, especially the Classics. As long as Sound of Music and Mary Poppins are right up at the top of the list, though I suspect Cassie might probably have seen either or both growing up. If not though, I would absolutely die to see y'alls reaction to Julie Andrews in both of those movies.

sarCC
>>127446931

When I think "romantic comedy" the first thing that comes to mind is His Girl Friday.

Clay F
>>127449829

You make a very good point, but I am glad that Cassie broaden the definitions of classic romances and classic love stories. Romantic comedies are her thing. I like gritty, tense film noir. Notorious looks like a storyline I would want to see.

Paul Imrie

Oklahoma needs a shot in the next round

Rose
>>127456855

I love Gigi - Leslie Caron was so adorable in that role and Louis Jourdan was so handsome! His Girl Friday is super entertaining. I hope she gets to see some Fred & Ginger films, too.

Rose

While we’re on musicals, I’m going to suggest Friedrich Kohner’s novel, Gidget, the Little Girl with Big Ideas - which is one of my favorite books. I adore “Gidget” with Sandra Dee / James Darren / Cliff Robertson; I love the performances and the romance between Gidget & Moondoggie is so tender and genuine. The music is so charming .. I love James Darren’s vocals. Such a 50s film - it’s the absolute ultimate!

Bert Towle

Maybe someday Cassie will get to see the first Academy Award winning (5 of them) rom-com featuring 2 of the biggest stars (both won) in the movies of their day. It Happened One Night ought to be seen for a snapshot of '30s life, class differences, lessons being learned and ROMANCE! Besides, name another film (without cheating) that features a Kellett Autogyro.

Larry Darrell
>>127445486

AMC used to be like TCM, Classic Films and no commercials, but in 2002, stopped showing only Classic Films and added commercials.

Larry Darrell
>>127447591

My Fair Lady is a Great Film, and Audrey Hepburn is Fantastic, but have to note a Major Minus to the film… Audrey Hepburn is not who you hear singing. She is lip-syncing.

Patreot
>>127455022

There are plenty of reactions to musicals up on YT. Please, guys, stop trying to preemptively scare her away from even trying to react to things. Search YT for Singin In The Rain reactions. They are there, they remain up, and there is plenty that reactors can react to and leave in in the editing. Please just ask for what you want her to react to and let her team handle the rest.

Larry Darrell
>>127455447

I sent her These DVDs just last month… The Awful Truth (1937) His Girl Friday (1940) My Favorite Wife (1940) Destination Tokyo (1943) Night and Day (1946) The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (1947) Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948)

Robert Jewell

Love your getting back to classics. I picked NOTORIOUS since you've seen MI 2 from which it basically stole Notorious's suspenseful brilliance. I've recommended it often enough. Here's hoping.

Art of Free Speech

OMG, My Fair Lady is one of my top films of all time. "Let a Woman in my Life" is a personal theme song and mantra! And the movie is WINNING!!! It's really winning. Oh happy day!

Larry Darrell

Hey Cassie, just a suggestion, please ignore it if you want. ;-) Since the Classic Romantics Polls inadvertently became the Classic Musical Polls… Watch the winners of any final poll… Plus the Highest voted film from Each Decade… (Meaning the 2 decades without a Musical film represented, because they never stood a chance in this lineup.) …if you’re actually interested in the Origin of Rom-Coms. If it’s not that big a deal… never mind. :-)

Arki Kali

South Pacific and The King and I are also great musicals. 🙂

YodatheHobbit

Again, voting for the only one I've ever heard of, lol.

Eric Haefele

It looks like My Fair Lady will win and it is a good choice. But if you want a real good comedy, try the 1st one on the list, Barefoot in the Park. The best pure romance on your list is It Happened One Night.

Paul Rich

So many great ones here. Tough to choose just one if that is the rule. Of course My Fair Lady but so few I surmise have seen It Happened One Night, B & W masterpiece and Clark Gable at his very very best, snappy fast dialogue.

Hiraoka Toru

Why would she only watch one or two romantic movies in February. It should be around 3 movies on valentine's day week.

Phillip Bates

Every single one of these movies is a must-watch!

Mike LL
>>127444709

My two votes as well, seeing as I can't stop talking about them! Ever!

Mike LL
>>127455447

Larry, the first three on your Cary list are all gold. I would want to see them all, but the first three are so special!

Mike LL
>>127465506

And of course, Cassie got a good Clark Gable recommendation from Edith Keeler when she saw the Star Trek episode The City on the Edge of Forever, the one that took place in the 1930's!

Mike LL
>>127469688

I'm sure she has a lineup of more modern movies at the ready.

Grinznmore

This is going to be a stressful year for many people in the States. It's nice to see films like this that help decompress. I'm going with Singing in the Rain. The dance routines are unbelievable. All of these are great movies.

Richard Maurer

Not really my genre, voted for Notorious because Hitchcock.

Thoko
>>127476814

Yeah I don't usually watch either romance or drama movies, but when these genres are mixed nicely with really great sci-fi, action or comedy writing that can really become something special. Like that Tom Cruise movie Edge of Tomorrow.

Terdell Ferguson

Lots of good movies here! I went with His Girl Friday - hilarious and witty and truly an underrated gem and should definitely be viewed sometime.

Javier Hernandez

Great selection! For historical purposes my vote is It Happened One Night. A racy romance for it's time, it shows how far films have come.

ContrabandDonut

Pillow Talk is a lot of fun and definitely worth a watch. You'll have a lot of fun. But for me it's not better than any movie on this list

Silver Machine

My Fair Lady?! Seriously?!! The worst movie on the list is beating all these classics by a mile?!! C’mon folks, stop being so afraid of black & white. We’ve got masterpieces by Capra, Hawks & Hitchcock to choose from and you’re picking MY FAIR LADY, one of the lamest musicals ever made??!! So we can watch Audrey Hepburn pretend to sing in glorious technicolor??!! smh

Uncle Phoenix

I was hoping for “The Goodbye Girl”, because it was featured in “The Last Of Us”.

Jennifer Medicus

I just realized I picked all Cary Grant for both polls. :)

Jennifer Medicus
>>127485208

Free Marni Dixon! Seriously, though, that woman should have had her own career. I picked two black and white films...3 if you include the other poll, but all Cary Grant. Whoops.

Mannygogou

for much further back movies I'd like to see Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers movies... in classic silver screen

Steve Holton
>>127459218

The Kohners are from my hometown and Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman (Gidget) worked part time at our local bookstore and used to give us book recommendations. A super nice lady and a legendary surfer! 🏄‍♀️

Happy Hanukkah
>>127447591

And this led to Julie Andrews' classic "stiletto" revenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeBCcfwWpug (Explanation, copied form the first comment on that page: "Julie Andrews for years had been playing Eliza Doolittle for the Broadway version of My Fair Lady. So when Jack Warner went to make it into a movie, she was hoping to get the role. However, she got turned down and Audrey Hepburn was chosen for the role instead, and that denial allowed Andrews to be cast as Mary Poppins. Then her and Audrey Hepburn were both up for the Golden Globe nominee and Julie Andrews won over Hepburn. And thus concludes the story of sweet revenge.")

Patreot
>>127485208

Utter, utter nonsense. My Fair Lady is a masterpiece, with brilliant direction by the great George Cukor, iconic performances by Harrison and Hepburn, amazing costumes by Cecil Beaton, one of the greatest stories of all time by George Shaw, and a brilliant, elegant, sophisticated score and script by Lerner and Loewe. It’s literally a perfect film. Every shot is perfection. Every sung and spoken line is perfection. And it’s universally regarded as one of the very greatest musicals of all time. The Broadway musical set a record for the longest run of any major musical in history up to that time. It opened in 1956 and closed in 1962 after 2,717 performances and was hailed as “One of the best musicals of the century.” At a time when Broadway was at its peak, facing competition from the very greatest musical composers at the height of their powers churning out iconic masterpiece after iconic masterpiece, it was My Fair Lady that was the toast of the town, praised as the cream of the crop. It won six Tonys, including Best Musical. Six of its songs have become standards of the Great American Songbook. The film won no less than EIGHT Academy Awards, including Best Director, Best Actor and Best Picture. I want Cassie to watch the great 30s and 40s masterpieces too, and understand your frustration that they never had a chance against the big musicals, but My Fair Lady is every bit as much of a masterpiece (and much more so than some of the options on the list imo.)

Paul Rich
>>127465506

Mike, I'm in L.A. and friends with the late Leonard Nimoy's daughter, Julie. We attended same high school and college.. I got to know the family well. So sad he's gone. He was super down to earth.

Ian Bailey

The original "Death takes a Holiday" should be added to this.

ContrabandDonut
>>127485208

Wow. My Fair Lady beat Mary Poppins, Dr. Strangelove for Best Picture. Audrey Hepburn didn't even get nominated for Best Actress. I'm ok with it because Julie Andrews won instead. My Fair Lady didn't even get a Best Song nomination. Chim Chim Cher-ee won. Off topic: Goldfinger won for Best Sound Effects.

Rose
>>127459218

😮 wow!! The Vanity Fair article showed a recent photo of her on the board. She still looks amazing! What an inspiration.

Paul Rich

My onine dating pseudonym is Pillow Chat, based on the title Pillow Talk.

I once played Colonel Pickering on stage in "My Fair Lady" many moons ago.

ContrabandDonut
>>127498244

I was recuperating a year ago and saw a bunch of them in a row. I didn't realize they're so formulaic story-wise, and the dancing is absolutely incredible.

Brian McGovern
>>127444720

It wasn’t that he was old, he wasn’t. Only 67. He was sick. I just watched it again today, and man it is a great movie. Even if it does not win or come in second, I think Cassie needs to put it in the schedule and watch with Carly. I think that both girls would love it. If they could, I would even try to convince their mother to watch as well, even if she has seen it.

Pepe MR

It's impossible to vote only for one. They are all part of the history of cinema. I love them all.

Richard Maurer
>>127485208

My Fair Lady is not a perfect film because no such thing exists. As much as I love LotR, and as close to perfection as it comes, it still has flaws - minor though they are.

Shaun Stuart

Yes, these are all great movies, and it’s hard to vote for just one. But, worse is the fact that my favorite two movies are really too fast paced to make for good reaction material! Too many great lines will get missed, because of (necessary) commentary , or just plain laughter! 🤷 Also, one of these is a musical, so YouTube’s copyright restrictions will chew it to pieces!

Uncle Phoenix
>>127445991

I always liked Cary Grant in “The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer”, for it’s playfulness and for its connection too David Bowie’s performance in “The Labyrinth”.

Uncle Phoenix
>>127446931

I’m pretty sure “Friday” was redone in with Burt Reynolds and Kathleen Turner in 1988, “Switching Channels”.

Uncle Phoenix
>>127453073

Maybe Cassie and Carly will like it so much that they will watch the remake, “Switching Channels”.

Larry Darrell

I know in 2024, Any and All films that were made 50 or more years ago…can be called Classics… and Rightfully so. However… Lumping all of these films into One Group under the same banner, “Classics,” is Not really Fair, when you look closer. If you will allow me a little Constructive Criticism, in the form of Analogies. It Happened One Night (1934) is to Barefoot in the Park (1967) as… Barefoot in the Park (1967) is to The Replacements (2000) & Miss Congeniality (2000) & Return to Me (2000) Lethal Weapon (1987) is to Bad Boys for Life (2020) What’s Up, Doc? (1972) is to The Family Stone (2005) & Just Friends (2005) Logan’s Run (1976) is to Avatar (2009) Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) is to Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

John Liebling
>>127463472

Don't forget about Oklahoma and Carousel. Any Rogers and Hammerstein musical is a big-time winner.

Richard Maurer
>>127485208

As an artist myself, I can tell that you that every artist that ever created a "flawless" work of art would beg to differ with you. Perfection doesn't exist, at least not in this reality. If you believe that My Fair Lady is perfect, well then your critical skills might need some work.

Biggman83

Stanley Holloway is one of my favourite British actors, but My Fair lady isn’t getting my vote in this one! notorious hands down!

Mr Trick

I’m not sure how much I’d classify Notorious as a romantic film. That IS an aspect of the film, but it’s really more of a suspense thriller.

Paul Rich
>>127483085

The girls will love Pillow Talk for it's cornball plot and innocent romance at the time it was made. I think they'd laugh their asses off but there are better selections. Singing' in the Rain and My Fair Lady are on the Mount Rushmore of classic American musicals. I mean, Audrey Hepburn. Hello! Juiie Andrews played her part on Broadway.

Paul Rich
>>127485208

To call My Fair Lady the worst on the list is a minority opinion to be sure.

ContrabandDonut

Man, this wasn't close. And my choice finished in the second division.

Nathan
>>127601848

Agreed. And there are suspense thrillers who have better and more prominent romance (To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, Casablanca, to name a few off the top of my head.)
