Ranking the silver screen’s all-time top romantic films

"You must remember this: A kiss is just a kiss ..." So begins the

signature song from the 1942 movie "Casablanca." The American Film

Institute (AFI) had no difficulty remembering. Its new list of the 100

best US screen romances ranks the Humphrey Bogart-Ingrid Bergman

classic No. 1. The list was chosen from 400 nominees encompassing

mysteries, comedies, tragedies, dramas, musicals, and war stories.

AFI’s top 10 and the year each was released:

1. "Casablanca," 1942

2. "Gone With the Wind," 1939

3. "West Side Story," 1961

4. "Roman Holiday," 1953

5. "An Affair to Remember," 1957

6. "The Way We Were," 1973

7. "Doctor Zhivago," 1965

8. "It’s a Wonderful Life," 1946

9. "Love Story," 1970

10. "City Lights," 1931
