Top 20 Most Realistic Romance Movies

[@fernandabordin6792]

Is it just me or every single “realistic” romance is about how people aren’t happy together? No wonder we love unrealistic romance!! 😀

[@elfymbouity]

I don't feel that way

[@sabinajindrova2513]

Totallly agree, I will be in depression, if I consider these “realistic” romance as realistic 😁

[@paulaneary7877]

Yeah, that was pretty depressing. My parents were happily married for 50 years.

[@walkingthroughdusk]

My favorite romance book & film is definitely Everything Everything! It was so cute! 😍🤩

[@lily1998]

People who are together for a long time do fight, but they can still love and feel secure with each other.

[@trinaq]

"Just because she likes the same bizarro crap as you, doesn't make her your soulmate." A very valid statement, and words that I live by whenever getting to know a crush! 😉♥️

Eternal Sunshine is the greatest romance film of all time!

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up." Neil Gaiman, The Kindly Ones (The Sandman, #9)

[@trinaq]

I adore Neil Gaiman, he's such a fascinating writer. Love really IS both a blessing and a curse!

[@konraddygudaj257]

@@trinaq I agree

[@Aster_Risk]

This is a great list. Celeste and Jesse Forever affected me particularly, because my husband and I got married young. We were having issues similar to the film, and I thought about leaving because it seemed like things couldn't be fixed. I ultimately didn't, because we love one another and it was worth saving. My heart breaks every time I watch it, because I hate to think that I could have thrown away a life with my best friend and would have to see him move on with someone else because I gave up. Blue Valentine reminded me of my parents, so that one really gets to me as well. They managed to work things out, which makes me really proud of them. Also, I was surprised by how much I loved The Big Sick.

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I watched La La Land with my sister a couple of years ago for the first time. I was shocked and sad over the ending. But I also admired how it went off the whole “happily ever after” cliche like many movies like it do. It’s a really good and realistic story that has beautiful sets, costumes and songs.

[@larisalynnortiz8979]

Tried three times to watch La La Land truly wanting to like it, but nope.

[@cinderbelle22]

I liked La La Land, but the ending made no sense. People said it was "realistic", but what other part of that movie was realistic?! I expected a fantasy ending because it was a fantasy! Anyway, a "realistic" ending would be them using modern contraptions such as cell phones and airplanes to continue their relationship! It's not like they lived in the 1800s or couldn't afford it being as successful as they were.

[@julkasteven8198]

In way both Sebastian and Mia got their "happy Ending". It wasn't just meant for them Ending up together.

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

@@julkasteven8198 Exactly. Which isn't always how life goes

[@amandaredd3057]

I think the Before Sunrise series as a trilogy in it's entirety is fairly relatable and realistic as it shows different common phases of most relationships and marriages. Edit: You made it #1!!! Thankyou and wonderful choice!!

[@galmanferguson]

I knew it. Revolutionary Road and Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind would be here. Kate is amazing in both movies.

[@DJaYdoubleU1]

Binging these movies would be a very depressing way to spend a weekend....wheres the popcorn and tissues?

[@DJaYdoubleU1]

Marriage story was a bit too real and relatable.

[@Politegirl686]

For real it took me a week to finish it

[@hayleygeri4206]

Was my life

[@chelseacanales8763]

All the more reason why staying single is the best: these movies are, for me, a constant reminder that relationships are complicating, messy and downright heartbreaking.

[@baileyanderson244]

Well.... you're not wrong ....

[@karenlm9062]

Please don't tell me you think these movies are more realistic than the real experience of loving and living with another.

[@katemaloney4296]

You completely understand that movies are fantasy, right? You're basing the next 60 years of your life on 90 minutes of fantasy? Really?

[@calinavm]

Thats only true when you don’t take the time to choose your spouse wisely

[@Aeluron]

It doesn't always end up that way, its just part of life that things can get heartbreaking.

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

500 Days of Summer is so cute and adorable but yes it is relatable. I really liked it and like La La Land liked how realistic it was. One of the few movies where there’s a one-sides love and they don’t miraculously end up together in the end.

[@pedroitalo1049]

The before trilogy and blue valentine will always be great!

[@ellicel]

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone have the same wonderful chemistry that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan did. I love watching them together!

[@anisamohammed8463]

Marriage story is so realistic that when I watched it with my mum I could see her divorce ptsd so clearly I wanted to remove it and give her space to breathe

[@oliviah.4741]

“The Way We Were” starring Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford is the best realistic romance of all time (in Kanye West voice 🗣🗣🗣)

[@spidergamelebgdu788]

😍😂😂😂😂

[@mmps18]

Yessss Celeste and Jesse Forever!!!

[@clarinaketia8948]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless is my no.1, there's something emotional and personal about this movie!

[@neadod2902]

Love Rosie I feel deserved a place on this list.

[@MaiaDawn]

I just can’t acknowledge anything Woody Allen has done anymore.

[@amandapharaoh1744]

Incredibly real is the movie Last Night (2010), with Keira Knightley, Guillaume Canet, Sam Worthington, Eva Mendes.

[@alinamashi]

Love this one!!!!

[@alinapopa2180]

Yess !!!One Day!!!! I love this movie so much. Happy that it gets its recognition

[@Dashingdiva73]

I guess people of color don't have realistic movies dealing with love and relationships. Frankly Why Did I get Married should be on the list, Always be my maybe, Loves Jones, Mahogany, Something New should DEFINITELY be on this list. Ms. Mojo, you need to broaden your list.

[@oliviah.4741]

Right

[@sersastark]

I mean YES

[@dai9730]

That one with Zendaya that was recently released?...it was a short movie,I loved it.idk

[@laurengj]

TRULY!

[@solol2909]

Not that fucking deep. Dont like the list make one yourself

[@lightningfurystrike13]

ms mojo are you okay?/ I think this was mistitled as the most realistic end of realistic romance

[@targlife2979]

There's no way the before trilogy couldn't be on here!!! Amazing trilogy!

[@RipiaKim]

Thank you for giving credit to the minds behind these amazing movies. Ms Mojo has educated me on directors and screenplay writers and all sorts.

[@chaosdromanah8620]

The Break Up & Marriage Story is way way way too realistic

[@slystone4892]

Marriage Story is painfully realistic.

[@trinaq]

I second that, there were several points during "Marriage Story" where I felt that I was intruding on intimate, private moments.

[@melmc9672]

You got that right

[@Aster_Risk]

Yeah, that one was the hardest divorce movie I'd watched since Blue Valentine.

[@rutegomes407]

One Day should've, at least, made it to the top 3. Such a beautiful storyline and performances, makes me sob everytime.

[@amandaredd3057]

Blue Valentine is heartbreaking 💔

[@nazeninyusifova5938]

yeah, it is.

[@jennarollan211]

Celeste and Jesse Forever is so underrated and heartbreaking

[@hippiechic6772]

I am a film/ movie person... it's rare that I miss one and yet very few have actually changed me after watching them. I was not ever the same after watching La La Land... that movie broke something inside me . I was rooting for them through the whole movie... it left me with a hollow feeling and memory of what my parents divorce was like . I pretty much like most of the movies in your list and I appreciate your channel .

[@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music]

Okay, I think I'll skip that one then...........

[@Disney65Fan]

Yeah I love My Best Friend's Wedding. I like how Julia Roberts didn't get the guy in the end.

[@mwre334]

This top 20 list is the bomb! I had forgotten about some of these great movies. Gonna watch them again! Thank you Ms. MOJO!!! 🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤ I've seen My Best Friend's Wedding multiple times. I shed a tear everytime see the scene where Julianne and Michael are on the boat. The silent moment just really hits home.... the missed opportunity you wish you could get back and do over.

[@ohgumby]

Before the Marriage Story, there’s this movie titled The Story of Us with Michelle Pfeiffer and Bruce Willis. It’s too realistic and relatable. I was hoping to see it on this list too.

[@Borntofly34]

I was hoping Like Crazy would be on this list. It was the first movie I watched, in a long time, that left me sitting on my couch in a daze. It's such a bittersweet film and well acted and shot, too

[@kishawashington788]

I cried so much watching the movie One day 😥

[@karenguillen5893]

Every time I see Blue Valentine, I burst into tears 😭

[@chaosdromanah8620]

It's time to binge watch those movies

very very great epic list I like it a lot great job mis mojo one of my very favorite list ever❤

[@iustinadumitru1933]

LaLa Land, Marriage story and especially the Break-Up felt more realistic to me than all the others

[@jacepawlak]

I will never understand how Vince Vaughn got a career and, more astonishing than that, KEPT it. He plays himself in everything. He's not funny, attractive, cute, or engaging. He's the slacker in high school study hall who talked shit about everyone else. I'll never get it.

[@dannyyny]

Celeste and Jesse is totally realistic. How one single action could turn the relationship upside down.

[@GBmovieluv]

Once and Like Crazy are the most heart-wrenching ones (I cried inside over the former), The Break Up was the craziest, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was the most confusing, and I can't remember if I saw the Before Trilogy or even just the first one but I feel like I have. I'm surprised P.S. I Love You or If Only was not even an Honorable Mention. P.S. I Love You was enjoyable despite the ending threw me off a bit and If Only was another I came closer to crying

[@hellothere7948]

So every realistic romance movie ends in divorce or break up..... great

I just wanted to clear up a misconception. Half of marriages in the us don't end in divorce. The percentage is more around 40%, and has been dropping more and more. I know saying half of marriages end in divorce fit for the movie you were talking about in the video (A Marriage Story) but please don't scare people into thinking their marriage is almost guaranteed to fail.

[@baxtersmom279]

No, instead... More and more people just aren't getting married in the first place. Or are waiting until they are much older and more mature.
