The best romantic film of all time

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2005)

In "Pretty Woman," Julia Roberts and Richard Gere shine on screen in what is quite arguably the greatest romantic film of all time.
While I wouldn't classify the film as a "romantic comedy" necessarily, I don't think it can really be called a drama either. I would say it's closer to the former than the latter, and in this category it stands alone, with an edge over Rob Reiner's "When Harry Met Sally..." courtesy of Roberts' and Gere's chemistry and the fact that I'd rather spend a couple hours watching a young Julia Roberts fall in love with a brooding Richard Gere than a too young Meg Ryan and a sardonic Billy Crystal.
I also enjoy living vicariously through this movie. Who doesn't want the fairy tale?
