F2Rs 100 Movies... 100 Passions

Here I bring my personal version of AFI's 100 Years... 100 Passions list. This is a list of the 100 greatest film love stories I've ever seen. The movies that said the most about the nature of love or questioned what makes love happen or how love affects people made it higher on the list than others. Quality of filmmaking also plays an important role, of course. But these are the films that really have a lot to say about love and what it is and what it does to people.
