Romance

While thinking of a romantic movie the first thing that came to mind for me was Walk the Line, the story of Johnny Cash and June Carter. For those of you unfamiliar with or who have not seen the movie: Cash and Carter were both married to other people when they started doing shows and touring together, however Cash had been in love with June since the moment he met her. They went through years of ups and downs together and even had an affair in the middle. Cash was addicted to pain killers however, and June left him until he could get clean. They eventually start touring together again, about 6 months after he gets sober, and he repeatedly asks her to marry him. She always says it's not the right time. At one of their shows in Canada, he asks her on stage, and says he cannot continue the song until she agrees to marry him because it would be a lie. She finally does!
I don't think this story follows the typical romantic movie plot line, both were with other people when they first met and started falling for each other, and they were constantly together due to being on tour. Even though they knew each other for years, it took them a long time to realize they should be together. It was also not a typical proposal, they were two famous people that did it on stage at one of their shows. While romance is not the whole idea to this movie, it's also about Cash's struggle with drugs and getting into the music career, the romance between June and Johnny also makes it a great movie. While I'm sure there are even more perfectly romantic scenes and movies to have chosen from, I think this one shows the ultimate struggle to be together, and based on a true story.
