Movies like "Taken" have proven that we can have the best of both worlds; action and tears without the unnecessary romance that teaches false ideals and give false hope to millions of men and women across the globe. Now days we can laugh with bromance movies, cry with true stories like "Gridiron Gang" and "The Blind Side," or realistic but fictional movies like "John Q."
At first I just started to list some movies for a friend who was looking for "Romance Free Movies" to watch during Valentine's Week. I then realized, she might not be the only person who would like the same list.
In Random Order:
All the Alien (and Prometheus) movies except Number three where there is a quick sex scene between Ripely and her doctor (who then is killed immediately after) and Resurrection (where there is a couple who die before there is really any romantic interactions.
All the Lethal Weapon movie except #4 (where Chris Rock and Murtaugh's daughter are in a budding relationship) keep all the romance off screen with only a peck and a tub scene between Murtaugh and his wife. These movies are 99% Bromance/Action and 1% Romance. Not nearly enough to sicken even the biggest hater of romance (which I am).
Romeo Must Die is Romance free unless you count the bad guy having control issues and unwanted desires toward Aaliyah's character. There is a lot of bonding between O'Day and Sing but in the brother sister way not the lovey dovey way.
The Forbidden Kingdom is a lot of Bromance, Action, and even Comedy. It is the perfect mixture for any viewer.
I already mentioned Taken but I didn't explain why this movie is a perfect anti romance film. The lead is a divorcee who just wants to make his daughter happy and keep her safe. When she is abducted by slave traders Papa bear does what any good parent would or hopes he or she could to rescue his daughter. The second movie is Romantic though, so steer clear unless you are feeling strong enough to continue. I have yet to watch number 3... It is on my list, so soon.
The Ocean's movies have about 2% romance. Again one of those movies where the romance can be easily ignored.
The Silence of the Lambs have sexual innuendos but no romance. Don't think all the related movies are the same though, "Hannibal Rising" has A LOT of romance.
Death Proof has no romance and a whole lot of girl power/vengeance. Fun movie for all sexes.
Death Proof has no romance and a whole lot of girl power/vengeance. Fun movie for all sexes.
If you are looking for something silly and fun with no Romance, try the 1971 "Willy Wonka."
"Brave" is a great 1% Romance family movie.
There are a lot more movies out there.
