Damn it, I hate romance movies. Seriously, I swear they are all repeats.
My dads girlfriend has netflix and constantly rents these terrible romance bullshitskiezzzz. I just watched Billy Bob Thortan execute a black man and then proceed to pick up and bang his wife. What the hell.
And its always women who want to watch romance films. My girl loves them. I simply just can not get off on romance movies.

Monsters Ball was a romance?
I saw that when it first came out and thought it was utter garbage so I haven't seen it since. 
Not all romance type movies are bad though. The problem with most of them is that they follow the same exact formula.. they are trite and boring.
Examples of good romance movies: 500 Days of Summer The Princess Bride Elizabethtown Amelie
I think the big problem is this bitch is hogging the tv..

Looking through my movie catalog.. figured I'd post some other good ones.
Adam - kid with aspergers falls in love with his upstairs neighbor.
An Education - half romance, half coming of age. solid movie either way.
The Concert - more of a father/daughter movie than a boyfriend/girlfriend one. every girl ive ever show it to liked it.. you just have to pay attention to the subtitles. some people only speak Russian and some only French.. you have to think about whether or not the characters can understand each other.
The Exploding Girl - another half romance, half coming of age movie. good example of solid indie filmmaking
The Fountain - one of my fav movies of all time. not for everyone though..
Love Me If You Dare - good french film. stars Marion Cotillard (who is slammin)
Never Let Me Go - one of my fav movies of 2010. this is kinda like the anti-romance. there is no "traditional" climactic moment like when the two lovers run to each others arms or whatever. beautiful film though and really cool concept.
Paris, je t'aime - collection of short films all about finding love in Paris. directors include the Cohen brothers (The Big Lebowski), Wes Craven (Scream), Gérard Depardieu (Jean de Florette), Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men), Vincenzo Natali (Cube), Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run), etc.. In short, its fucking awesome.
Wristcutters: A Love Story - love story that takes place in limbo. one of the most unique and awesome movies ive ever seen.
