Love life on films!
As life it's full of love hidden in the strangest moments, and coming out of nowhere; the films on this list show and describe how different, unusual, but always touching and constant love can be.
This films have different subjects, which means the main subject is not necessarily love, but love is always there as a constant force.
It's a personal list so it's more particular to my taste than anything else, but I'll be glad if someone else can find here something interesting to watch.
