And an honorable mention to the movie Love Story

While on honeymoon I enjoyed one of the most romantic, lame and cliché movies ever.
Love Story (1970) is a movie by Arthur Hiller which tells a classic story of a forbidden love between up class Harvard Law student/hockey jock (Oliver Barrett IV/Ryan O'Neal) and Radcliffe music wonk (Jennifer Cavalleri/ Ali MacGraw).

It does not deserve to be on the list, but it does deserve an honorable mention. And the reason for it is simple: it contains all the cliché elements of a romantic movie such as the tragically simple script, the lame music (world wide famous piano excerpt) and the profound phrases ("Love means never having to say you're sorry"); however, it was this movie who introduced most of them to popular movies. Besides, it's an opportunity to get a glimpse at Tommy Lee Jones in his film debut

You should check it out if you have two hours to spare.
