Right on!!

How encouraging to see that the two films which dominated the search for "The Most Romantic Film Of All Time" were "Brief Encounter" and "Casablanca".  Makes you think that perhaps all is not lost.  The most interesting thing is that here are two films which defied the Hollywood convention of having a happy ending - in neither does the "hero" get the girl.  And perhaps it's this that makes them so memorable. Both are films where you come away thinking "yes, that was the right way to end it".
