(CNN) — Time to make some popcorn, light a few candles and fire up the flatscreen. Travel website Travelzoo has released a list of the world's top 10 romantic movie locations.
There will plenty to quibble with, of course, especially given the absence of destinations traditionally associated with romance -- San Francisco, Venice and the entire continent of South America got snubbed.
Unspoiled scenery, natural beauty and the Oscar-winning "Out of Africa" helped the Ngong Hills in Kenya grab the top spot on the list.
Paris ranks second after Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy made sparks in "Before Sunset."
The setting for the ultimate smooch scene between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in "Sleepless in Seattle," New York takes third.
The movie's title town didn't get the call -- sorry, Seattle, Travelzoo apparently likes you, just not in that way.
