My Top 10 (Overly) Romantic + Erotic Movies

I label these movies as overly romantic because cinema has historically been a place for especially white men to express their desire for women, often in a way that propagates really unhealthy dynamics. We know true love in movies is simply that: in movies. But, when women and queer people and people of the global majority are better included in filmmaking, often the films can have a deeper value than simply love and represent meaningful discourse that has yet to be breached. Many of these selections have adult material present so, 18+ only, kiddos.
