Romantic films have been around since the late 19th century and although first silent black and white movies have always involved passion, emotion and the affectionate involvement of two main characters and their journey, they often involve the theme and idea of ‘love at first sight, as well as other themes that romantic films could choose to take on these include; unrequited love, obsessive love, sentimental love, forbidden love, sexual and passionate love and tragic love.
Romantic films have evolved over time yet still often include similar plots and cross-over, most plots involved overcoming obstacles such as physical illness, psychological restraints or family that threaten to break the couples love.

Dirty Dancing is another very iconic movie and is from 1987 although based in the summer of 1963 it is about the development of a crush that the main female role ‘Baby’ has on the dance instructor ‘Johnny’ at her summer holiday resort. She becomes a substitute dance partner and a romance begins to develop although both ‘Baby’s family and the resort threaten to separate the two from being together. In the end of the film and after being fired Johnny returns to the resort to perform the iconic ‘I’ve had the time of my life’ and the problems are resolved.
