Drama Romance
The Romantic Drama generally has as its central plot the beginning, obstruction and eventual, though often tragic, fruition of a romance. A common derogatory term for such films is "weepy" since they can reduce the audience to (willing) tears by playing on themes of noble self-sacrifice or cruel fate.
The motherlode of Alice's Romantic Dramas can be scrolled below, however the "Romance" feature along with "Comedy Romance" and "Classic Romance" may prove helpful.
Right; Alan Rickman, Clive Owen and Saskia Reeves star in Stephen Poliakoff's powerful "Close My Eyes".
