    James Bond has always been quite the lady's man, but he has never had quite the intimate and sensual relationship with a woman as he had in Casino Royale. A film where romance takes a front seat and gritty action further drives home the fact that this isn't your grandpa's 007 anymore, Casino Royale is a fascinating departure and rebranding of the James Bond franchise and delivers a fascinating and painfully realistic look at love, heartbreak, and nonstop action. Daniel Craig made the roll completely his own in his first-ever portrayal of the characters, and his relationship with Eva Green's character still remains one of the greatest in the franchise's history.

    A film ripped straight out of the 2000s, Mr. Right plays all the stereotypical beats of the best romance adventure movies but manages to feel fresh and fun thanks to wonderful performances from Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick. The story is fairly simple, a girl falls in love with a guy, but the guy just so happens to be a hitman on the run from the cartel and chaos ensues. While it might not actually be all that simple, the film wears its cheesiness and absurdity on its sleeve and provides fans with a thrilling, hilarious, action-packed romantic comedy that is incredibly likable.

    115 votes

    Spy romantic action movies were all the rage in the 2010s for one reason or another, and Killers was arguably the film that started this bizarre but effective trend. Ashton Kutcher and Katherin Heigl star as a married couple with secrets, the main being that the husband was a former elite assassin who recently found out someone has put a contract on his head, so now he must defend his love and his life. It could be argued that the film is not particularly a good movie, but it is one heck of a good time, as the chemistry between Heigl and Kutcher is astounding and the action scenes will leave audiences on the edge of their seat. Stereotypical husband-is-a-spy trope behind, the film will leave a smile on the face of anyone looking for a good action romance movie.

    A film that is carried by the palpable connection and chemistry between its two stars, The Bodyguard is a remarkably romantic and heartfelt story of a titular bodyguard who falls in love with the female pop star he is supposed to be protecting, and his torn heart between duty and romance. Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner elevate this fairly stereotypical forbidden love film into one of the best action love movies of all time. The chemistry between the two is through the roof, and while the action scenes may not be anything to write home about, they are given more power and gravitas as audiences will undoubtedly be sucked into this forbidden romance.

    While many simply associate the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise with Johnny Depp's incredible portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, it is important to remember that the franchise started with but a simple love story between Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan in The Curse of the Black Pearl. A fun swashbuckling adventure with a heartfelt and romantic undertone, The Curse of the Black Pearl is one of the best romance action movies that sadly doesn't get considered romantic nearly enough. Adventurous, romantic, hilarious, and epic in scale, this wonderful sword-fighting pirate tale more than lives up to the hype over two decades after its release.

    Every mainstream Spider-Man movie has hints and moments of romance, but no film plays these moments as big or as important as Spider-Man Far From Home. A film that is nearly completely centered on the budding romantic relationship between Peter Parker and MJ, and uses action as a story beat to further emphasize these two youngsters' romance. Awkard, shy, and often uncomfortable, Far From Home portrays young love better than nearly any other film, and at the end of the day it is still a Spider-Man movie, so fans know there is going to be some incredible action. While it may have been unsuspected, Spider-Man: Far From Home is one of the finest movies with action and romance.
