* The Apartment
* A Matter of Life and Death (it's a mix of B&W and color, but I think it counts)
* Cold War
* Trouble in Paradise
* I Know Where I'm Going
* Sabrina (1954 version)
* The Shop around the Corner
* Frantz
So many films contain a strong romantic element, but here are some of the highlights:
Casablanca (1942)
Brief Encounter (1945)
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)
Trouble in Paradise (1932)
Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948)
Random Harvest (1942)
I Know Where I'm Going! (1945)
Journey to Italy (1954)
Lost Horizon (1937)
Now, Voyager (1942)
That's 10 good suggestions. I didn't include much romantic comedy, as it feels like it's own distinct genre. Happy to give some more suggestions from there though.

DAYUM you had a whole arsenal on standby!
I watch a lot of these types of films, until I checked on letterboxd I hadn't realised how many.
English language, comedies: My Man Godfrey (1936) The Lady Eve (1941) Ball of Fire (1941) Bachelor Mother (1939) The shop around the corner(1940) Drama, not English language Wings of Desire (1987) L’Avventura (1960)
Just throw a dart at the Frank Borzage dartboard, but if you’re going to start somewhere probably History Is Made At Night.
Spellbound (1945)
The Dream Lady and You Never Know Women, definitely
a woman's face
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927)
Trouble in Paradise It happened one night
L’Avventura .. anti romance maybe
Port of shadows (1938)! It’s not straight forward romance, but it’s still a great movie with a romantic plot
Holiday (1938) <33333
