The man [usually, since of course men make all the mistakes, and women don't know how to apologize and forgive in these movies] does something fantastically romantic that the woman finds out about at the last moment, then runs into his arms. They live happily ever after.
Men don't necessarily make all the mistakes, there's a sad number of rom coms where the female tries to be independent and then realizes all she wants in life is the domestic life. My sister loves these movies, can't think of the titles...I think one was Sweet Home Alabama? I usually run from the room when she watches these.

The only two romantic films I liked was Where The Heart Is (pretty much solely for Natalie Portman, and the romance isn't exactly central to the story, maybe its better described as a chick flick than romance) and secretly, very secretly I love Moonstruck. Its probably my biggest guilty pleasure for movies.
