The only reason why I won't be adding the Twilight saga(despite my great love for it)is because I think everyone already knows that it is one of the greatest love stories of ALL time.

9. Atonement (2007)

Votes: 299,985 | Gross: $50.93M
Good movie, beautifully and cleverly made. Everything goes wrong for this couple, lets put it that way, but that's the whole point. The film shows how this couple could have had a happy and long life together, but one misunderstanding on Cecelia's(Keira Knightley)younger sister's behalf destroys everything, and it all goes downhill for them from there. Very tragic and romantic film, a must-watch for most, but some may have a different opinion.

Votes: 157,719 | Gross: $52.33M
I saw this movie only recently and loved it. The main characters connection is magical(a little literally), everything in you is willing that everything is going to work out for them and each time it doesn't your just like "oh, no! Damn it!". It was very enjoyable to watch.
