The Notebook
This is based upon Nicholas Spark's novel of the same name--which I found unreadable drek. I found the film much more watchable than the book was readable. It was likable, even moving, in its cheesy emotionally manipulative way. James Garner was even nominated by the Screen Actor's Guild for Best Actor in a Supporting Role and I can see why. But among the best romantic films of all time? Not on my list.
