Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.
I'm Neil.
And I'm Georgina.
When we think about romantic Hollywood movies,
there have been some famous examples over the years.
There are classic black and white romance movies,
like 1950 ones, a streetcar named Desire,
and the love affair between Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca made in 1942.
You're really showing your age, Neil.
What about more recent movies like When Harry Met Sally?
Or that famous kiss between the characters Jack and Rose in the film Titanic?
In their time, all these movies were blockbusters, very popular and successful films which sold millions of cinema tickets.
And this success was often due to the on-screen romance between the leading actors.
In romantic movies, love is in the air.
Couples hold hands and kiss, or in other words, they show intimacy,
a close romantic or sexual relationship.
But while real couples kiss and hold hands all the time,
actors in movies are just pretending to be intimate, and this can lead to problems.
