About Romance MoviesThe story lines of romance movies typically center around the beginning, obstruction and eventual, though often tragic, fruition of romantic love. A common derogatory term for such films is "weepy" since they can reduce the audience to tears by playing on themes of noble self-sacrifice or cruel fate. Almost any other movie type can also be a romance movie. In particular, adventure movies, thriller movies, and even war movies often contain elements of romance. Perhaps the most famous romance movie of all is "Casablanca" where Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a bitter and cynical man following the end of an affair with Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman), meets Ilsa again in Casablanca. Ilsa's husband, Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), is an important Resistance leader from Czechoslovakia with a massive price on his head and is being hunted by the occupying Nazis. Rick is eventually faced with a choice: Should he help the couple escape, regardless of his own feelings for Ilsa? - The preceding paragraph was derived from a full article available from Wikipedia and its use is governed by the GNU Free Documentation License 1.2.
