Amélie Poulain and Nino Quincampoux are the only screen couple with a happy ending that I can recall rooting for strongly this decade. Otherwise it's all tragic losses or the character I like of the pair learning that he/she can stand on his/her own.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Our wings are not tired.
Maybe Juno and Michael Cera. But you guys are right; I can't think of any truly romantic movies in the 2000s.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Let the Right One In?

That's not 2009 though, is it?

Yeah, but I was responding to this:

I found Away We Go to be fairly romantic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I so did not like Let The Right One In. It might qualify for a dysfunctional relationship of the decade, though.
Dana, that is quite the weird list. Gladiator? Really? I enjoyed the movie, but it takes a lot of selling to rank it above so many others. Nice to see Chuck and Buck get a critical mention. Damn, that movie did make me cover my eyes. So uncomfortable.
