What is the greatest love story of all time?

I agree with the posters who do NOT think Romeo and Juliet is a true love story. It's not. It's about lust and teenage rebellion. We aren't saying its not a great play, it is!

I have to admit The Notebook is an amazing love story.

Other ones: Harold and Maude, Say Anything, and Walk the Line, even moreso because it's true... 50 First Dates is also a good, albeit random, one.

Even though they are TV relationships, I am going to have to also go with Jim and Pam (The Office) and Miranda and Steve (Sex and the City)

There you go, none of those are tragedies, for the person who was complaining about that! ;)

Twelveth Night is a bit off when it comes to the brother and his lady, but it's a great love story if you only think about the sister and her military man. I mean, the brother falls in love without knowing anything about the lady (I cannot recall any of the names...), and the lady in turn forgets that she actually was madly in love with the sister dressed as a man. Love is fickle if you can switch between siblings just because they look similar enough. The sister and her man, though, they're the real thing. The poor man thinks he's going gay because of his extreme attraction to what he thinks is a young man. I'm going to have to watch that play/film again soon. It's really enjoyable.

Romeo and Juliet is a love story. Allthough they are just kids, and most of us find out that love is more than the lust we felt as kids, they still believe it's the one true love of their lives, making it love. If they only wanted to boink each other, death was not necessary. They wanted to be able to be together for ever, without their families' bloodlust. It might have been puppy love, but that's still love.

Anyway, the greatest love story ever told? When Harry met Sally. Or It Happened One Night. Or The Philadelphia Story. Or...

I guess what I'm saying is that a great love story needs to have it's complications, obstacles, to make it great. Nobody ever writes songs about love that comes easily. There's a reason for that.

The love between Jenny and Forrest wasn't the same for each other.

Januarie and May... Only kidding =)

Jean Valjean and Cosette? Isn't romantic love though...

George and Martha? - "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"



Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive.

Oh my there is so many...
Obviously, Romeo and Juliet. And then there's Titanic. You CANNOT forget that...and wuthering heights with Heathcliff and Catherine (although I've never seen the movie) Oh and then there's every single couple from ever single book Nicholas Sparks has ever written...Oh my.
But if I had to pick just one, I'd go with Titanic.
