SHR - Valentine's Day 2022 Bonus: Cult Films within the Romance Genre
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls536886372/Created for the Self Help Radio* "Valentine's Day 2022" show, which aired on KBOO 90.7 Portland on 2/8/22. (*not a self help show)
I ended up not going with this list for the show, but thought it a neat one to make for the youtube playlist.
Films on the list are tagged on IMDb with 'cult-film', considered at least partly in the Romance genre(some just barely), and are available for free. (You may need to check IMDb page to find out where.)
