Films about a guy looking for a lost love?

Any and all recommendations will be appreciated. As long as it's about one guy's journey to find a lost love...all cinemas welcome. Thanks a lot in advance.

No, not really. 99.9% of all rom-coms/chick-flicks/lost love movies follow the same basic formula: 1) Guy gets girl, 2) Guy loses girl, 3) Guy gets girl back again. That's been the template for like the last 70 years or so, with little-to-no variation. They might flip the gender roles occasionally, but the basic formula remains the same, and they always have the same stock characters.

In my opinion; romantic comedies and slashers are the two stupidest, most predictable genres in all of film.

everyone does even if they don't know it

What Dreams May Come.

Fantastic novel, very poorly adapted film with an atrocious actor as the main protagonist.

You don't like Robin Williams?

'Cause the man can definitely act.

I spoke too harshly. Robin Williams is a great comic talent, but I think he was 100% wrong for that role. In my opinion, he did a very poor job.

I liked him in the role. He's a good dramatic actor in general: Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, One Hour Photo, Insomnia and so on.

Brokeback Mountain follows the "guy looking for lost love" in part. Also a decent film overall; Ledger did a solid performance.

You may or may not be turned off by the cowboy-buttsex.

I quite enjoyed What Dreams May Come. He pulls off the dramatic role surprisingly well in other movies. That one wasn't a great example, not a bad one though.

However, I might partially agree with you in that I think he's better off in comedies.
