I felt the last Twight was SICK SICK SICK.
My favorite old classic was "East of Eden" with James Dean, it was a drama but a great romance in it too. Loved the ending.
Sooo many romantic movies I love, but Yes, the Notebook is likely tops, that is why Ryan Goslings is one of my favorites !
My favorite British Old time Romance is "North & South" with Richard Armitage. Check out the ratings of this movie...near 600 5 star reviews...
North & South (2005)
If you have not rented it, rent it ! This was originally suppose to be a simple BBC Mini series, the women fell so much in love with this actor, after it was over, they crashed the BBC website ....this was so much in demand, they made a DVD out of it ..... I could see why! I laughed so hard when I read that ... Oh my , I went nuts for Richard, I even went out & got a region free DVD player & bought every movie he was ever in -off of Britans Ebay... ha ha
The kiss at the end of this movie will blow any woman away!

.....
Loved ....
A Walk in the Clouds (1995) ....
Just So many !
