What makes the perfect romantic film? In heteronormative rom-coms and romantic films, romance is often directly associated with passionate emotion and the romantic involvement between leading characters in their journey through love (or something like it). In these stories, protagonists may face one or many obstacles — illness or injury (A Walk to Remember), financial difficulty and class differences (Titanic, The Notebook), parental disapproval (Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, Romeo and Juliet), infidelity or temptation (In the Mood for Love), or simply just the banal, day-to-day difficulties of relationships (Blue Valentine, Marriage Story).
