The Way We Were is a classic?
Try:
SWING TIME (Fred Astaire & Ginger Rodgers)
BRINGING UP BABY (Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant)
NOW, VOYAGER (Bette Davis)
I'm assuming you have seen CASABLANCA and CITIZEN KANE -- if not, then you haven't seen Classics!

"Charade" is a good mix of mystery and romance.
"Holiday Inn" is a great seasonal film.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a must see for anyone that loves classics.
There are lots more, but I'll not list them here.
