– MARCH – Cinderella Starring: Lily James, Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, Richard Madden Director: Kenneth Branagh Out: 13 March 2015 Relegated by her stepmother to a servant girl covered in ashes and spitefully renamed “Cinderella” since she used to work in the cinders, Ella (James, ‘Downton Abbey’) could easily begin to lose hope. She meets a kindred soul in the woods, a dashing stranger (Madden, ‘Game of Thrones’) who she thinks is an employee at the palace, when he is actually the Prince.
Top 20 Best Romantic Movies Of 2015 (Love & Comedy) # Romantic Movies # 18 Comments. Sexy romp which is completely misleading (see the international trailer instead). Critics say the movie’s too contrived in the way it keeps the lovers apart and that its overall charm wears thin, but audiences have connected with it. I think Aloha.

When her stepmother (Blanchett) forbids her to attend to palace ball and callously rips apart her dress, help is at hand as a kindly beggar woman/fairy godmother (Bonham Carter), armed with a pumpkin and a few mice, changes Cinderella’s life forever. After the financial success of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, Disney have been redoing their animated classics as live-action, with ‘Maleficent’ the most recent. This Cinderella seems to be combining plot ideas from many other recent adaptations including ‘Ever After’, ‘Ella Enchanted’, ‘The Glass Slipper’ and ‘Cinderella on Broadway’. Expect this to be a significantly more expensive, grander looking production than any of those, with that added Disney magic. Critics: 85% Public: 7.2 Spring Starring: Lou Taylor Pucci, Nadia Hilker Directors: Justin Benson, Aaron Moorhead Out: 20 March 2015 A young man in a personal tailspin flees the US to Italy, where he sparks up a romance with a woman harboring a dark, primordial secret. As they grow closer, her unique and mysterious biology is gearing up to change her form completely.
The only thing that will prevent it is if she falls in love before it happens This is a much better movie than its trailer suggests, similar to ‘Before Sunrise’ with a touch of ‘Species’. In other words, a modern, adult retelling of ‘Beauty and the Beast’, with reversed roles.
The acting is effortless and natural while the script is wonderfully free-flowing and sometimes a little profound. It’s a moving story against a scenic backdrop that’s nicely filmed and scored. It has a few darker elements, a couple of squeamish fx, and she doesn’t quite come across as the 2000-year-old soul that she is, but this might be the most beautiful and romantic monster movie you’ll see. Critics: 89% Public: 6.6 – APRIL – Effie Gray Starring: Dakota Fanning, Greg Wise, Tom Sturridge, Emma Thompson Director: Richard Laxton Out: 3 April 2015 Based on the real-life scandal that shocked Victorian-era England. At 19, Effie (Fanning) marries the prominent art critic John Ruskin (Wise), but Ruskin refuses to consummate their marriage. Lonely and frustrated Effie is drawn to pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais (Sturridge), and finds a friend and champion in Lady Elizabeth Eastlake (Thompson).
After five years trapped in a loveless marriage, Effie will defy the rules of Victorian society by becoming one of the first women in history to seek a divorce from her husband, making her an everlasting figure in feminist history. Shot in 2012 by the director of the ‘Burton and Taylor’ TV movie, the film’s release was delayed by lawsuits alleging that the script, written by Oscar-winner Emma Thompson, was plagiarised from earlier dramatisations of the same story. The cases were won by Thompson. The movie’s fine British supporting cast also includes Julie Walters, Robbie Coltrane, Derek Jacobi, James Fox and David Suchet. Critics say it’s reasonably entertaining but romantic sparks don’t exactly fly, being as emotionally repressed as the time period.
Critics: 42% Public: 5.9. The Longest Ride Starring: Britt Robertson, Scott Eastwood, Jack Huston, Alan Alda Director: George Tillman, Jr. Out: 10 April 2015 A love affair begins between a former champion bull rider (Eastwood) looking to make a comeback, and a college student (Robertson) about to embark on her dream job in New York City’s art world. As conflicting paths and ideals test their relationship, they rescue an old man (Alda) from a car crash, whose memories of his own decades-long romance with his beloved wife deeply inspire the young couple.
Intertwining the two love stories, it explores the challenges and infinite rewards of enduring love From the director of ‘Soul Food’ and ‘Notorious’, this is based on Nicolas Sparks’ 17th (!) romantic novel. Britt Robertson featured in TV’s ‘Under the Dome’ while Scott Eastwood is famous for being the son of his dad, Clint. Interesting that with each of the Sparks movies, the cast becomes less and less well known.
‘The Longest Ride’ is pure formula from this author (see ‘Dear John’, ‘Safe Haven’ etc.), so you know by now if you find it corny or endearing. Critics: 30% Public: 7.1 The Age Of Adaline Starring: Blake Lively, Michiel Huisman, Kathy Baker, Harrison Ford, Ellen Burstyn Director: Lee Toland Krieger Out: 24 April 2015 Adaline (Lively), a 29-year-old woman born at the turn of 20th century, is rendered ageless after an accident. For 80 years she lives a solitary existence, never allowing herself to get close to anyone who might reveal her secret, save her one confidante, her now-elderly daughter (Burstyn). But a chance encounter with charismatic philanthropist (Huisman) reignites her passion for life and romance.
When a weekend with his parents (Ford and Baker) threatens to uncover the truth, Adaline wonders if it might be worth losing her gift. From the director of the decent ‘Celeste & Jesse Forever’ and the screenwriter of ‘Nic & Tristan Go Mega Dega’ (never mind). This is based on an original screenplay rather than a novel, though there isn’t exactly an original idea in here (see ‘Highlander’, ‘Benjamin Button’ etc). Nonetheless it looks beautifully filmed, the themes are strong ones and the casting of the young Harrison Ford is remarkable.
Critics: 54% Public: 7.3 – MAY – Far From The Madding Crowd Starring: Carey Mulligan, Matthias Schoenaerts, Tom Sturridge, Michael Sheen Director: Thomas Vinterberg Out: 1 May 2015 An independent, headstrong Dorset woman (Mulligan) attracts three very different suitors: a sheep farmer (Schoenaerts) captivated by her fetching willfulness; a handsome and reckless Sergeant (Sturridge); and a prosperous and mature bachelor (Sheen). During this time she goes from being without a fortune to inheriting her uncle’s prosperous farm. Based on the 1874 Tom Hardy novel, which The Guardian calls one of the ten greatest love stories ever. It’s been adapted many times before for the screen, most famously the 1967 John Schlesinger version starring Julie Christie. Some have asked if Mulligan is really striking enough to be fending off three suitors at once, but she impresses in the role, displaying a different kind of magnetism. Schoenaerts is the smouldering standout among the men, concealing his Belgian accent as the only non-Brit in the cast.

Helmed by the veteran Danish director of ‘The Hunt’, ‘Madding Crowd’ brilliantly captures the atmospherics and tone of the novel, without seeming dated. Critics: 85% Public: 7.2. I adore these kinds of movies, its like seeing yourself in the shoes of a lady falling head over heels to their one true love, but its difficult to find a good one that keeps you guessing and wanting more until the very end.
I think Aloha and Age of Adaline could be the best romantic movies in 2015 and I love those that have me blushing, smiling and laughing the entire time so Trainwreck and Man Up could be the best romantic comedies 2015 has to offer. Everyone should experience love!! And men can’t understand how us women feel when we watch these, get a clue. I just saw Cinderella and it made me crave for Ever After again.
I had to dig up my storage and unearth my Ever After “cd”. Indeed, the dresses are better and the effects better in this year’s Cinderella compared to the previous ones but I like the story in Ever After more. It’s because the Prince and Cinderella had more encounters in that story than in this new one where they only have 3.
And I also love how they made the cinderella story realistic and not so much a Once upon time. Tale in Ever After.
