Welcome to the board portion of the site.
I had to comment on your putting Her in there. It's my first time, all time favorite movie, but not that many people were impressed, especially here. Anyway, had to ask, who did you think the title character is?
More to the OP, I perused my tier 10 and was surprised to find that I have very few love stories, only 2 others besides Her:
Moonstruck--Good music, good cast, great story, and about both romantic and familial love. A la familia!
Hateship, Loveship--Comes at love from a completely different direction, but a genuine love story nonetheless. A Kristen Wiig, Guy Pearce, Indy.
Like Sunday, Like Rain: Then there's this one more, another Indy, which I can only classify as an incipient romance, with great music (part of the story), and outstanding performances, particularly the kid. My first 10 in many moons.
Something else I just noticed, none of those have any real action, whatever that implies. I guess action tends to make the love story trivial or secondary.
