  1. The Painted Veil, a 1934 Greta Garbo romantic melodrama. Based on a Somerset Maugham story. The introduction of the Production Code earlier in 1934 results in characters whose behaviours make no sense but it looks good and Garbo is terrific.

  6. The Temptress (1926), one of Greta Garbo's first major hits. She plays a vamp who may or may not be entirely wicked. Beautifully crafted unabashed melodrama with Garbo's subtlety and star quality already very evident. She is stunning and sexy.

  7. Flesh and the Devil is a 1926 MGM silent melodrama starring Greta Garbo and John Gilbert. A huge hit which made Garbo a star. Gloriously lurid, steamy, melodramatic and romantic and absolutely dripping with sex. Garbo sizzles. Great movie.

  8. The Spanish Dancer is a 1923 silent romantic melodrama. A beautiful fiery gypsy girl and a dissolute nobleman become embroiled in court intrigues in 17th century Spain. A great love story. See it for Pola Negri at the top of her game.

  12. Gidget (1959), the first surfer girl movie. Sandra Dee is amazingly charming. Lightweight amusing romantic fun that takes its heroine's struggles with growing up quite seriously. But the ending is - well let's just say I hated the ending.

  17. The Wildcat (Die Bergkatze) is a 1921 Ernst Lubitsch silent comedy/romance. It's wild crazy, visually bizarre and flamboyant, and insanely romantic. Wild gal Rischka (Pola Negri), daughter of a bandit chief, falls for a womanising army officer.

  21. What good #RomanceMovies are on Netflix/Amazon/Hulu/HBO lately? Straight is fine, bonus points for queer. I'm feeling the need for a romance binge coming on. 🤔

    (boosts ok!)

  22. Madonna of the Seven Moons is a 1945 British Gainsborough melodrama but melodrama is hardly an adequate word to describe this truly bizarre film. It's beyond mere melodrama. Over-the-top, outrageously excessive, a delight from start to finish.

    Movies I want to see:

    A 1950's avian romance movie named "Last of the Red-Hot Plovers."

  24. Sissi (1955), the most famous and most successful entry in the German heimatfilm genre. If you’re in the mood for a lightweight feelgood fluffy romance with a fairytale vibe then this is just what you’re looking for.

    It made Romy Schneider a star and she's adorable.

  29. Futures Vedettes AKA School for Love AKA Sweet Sixteen (1955) is an early Brigitte Bardot romantic melodrama co-written by Roger Vadim. There are a few comic touches but it’s always romance that takes centre stage. It can also be seen as a coming-of-age movie.

    The main reason for seeing this movie today is of course Bardot. but it's a pretty good movie.

  30. Arabian Nights (1942), Universal’s first epic made using the three-strip Technicolor process.

    It has the charm of an adventure B-picture but it looks very impressive. It’s quite content to provide spectacle and harmless entertainment. And there's plenty of romance.

    With Maria Montez as a dancing girl who wants to be a queen.

  31. The Female Animal was Hedy Lamarr’s last movie. Not at all a bad way for her career to end. She has a really juicy part and she makes the most of it.

    Hedy plays a fading movie stars who acquires a new toy boy (played by George Nader). This causes problems with her (Jane Powell).

    A very entertaining noirish grown-up sex melodrama and Lamarr is terrific.

  32. Butterfield 8 is a much more interesting and much better movie than its reputation would suggest.

    One of the problems is that Butterfield 8 really is trashy. It’s an overheated sweaty sex melodrama. I happen to like overheated sweaty sex melodramas.

    It dates from a period when Hollywood was tentatively exploring the idea of making movies for grown-ups.

  33. Guy Hamilton's Manuela (US title Stowaway Girl), an odd little 1957 British film. An unconventional romance and maritime adventure drama combined. With a great cast headed by Trevor Howard, Donald Pleasence and Elsa Martinelli.

    A crusty but kindly middle-aged sea captain falls in love with a beautiful girl stowaway. Insanely romantic and quirky.
