This 1939 movie still does it best. Born in an era of cinematography marked by simple romance, this movie defied all the odds set by the box office. The story of a spoilt girl and a for-the-ladies guy deeply in love in a society condemning them, there are bits of both romance and melancholy.

6. HAROLD AND MAUDE

Romance between two, least expected to fall in love: a youth and an old lady is what makes this movie surprising. The movie questions our societal values, in what way are the standards imposed on every one of us and how difficult can it be to defy them. Best of sad romantic movies!
