About this list
Best romance movies of all time lists the 25 highest-rated movies in the genre, ranked by Lantern Score: one number on a 10-point scale that combines IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, so a title has to impress audiences and critics alike. Casablanca leads with 9.8, and the list runs from 1931 to 2023, with an average score of 9.3. Only titles with plenty of votes qualify, so a film rated by a handful of people can't crowd out proven favourites. Open any title for its full score breakdown, cast, and where to stream, rent or buy it.
