10 Must-Watch Rom-Coms ❤️🎬
2/5/2025
Rom-coms: the cinematic equivalent of a warm hug (with a side of witty banter and just enough drama to keep you hooked). Whether you’re in the mood to swoon, laugh, or yell, “JUST KISS ALREADY!”, this list has you covered.
1. When Harry Met Sally... (1989)
The blueprint for all rom-coms. Can men and women ever just be friends? Harry and Sally debate this while giving us iconic moments like that diner scene and more autumn knitwear than you can shake a pumpkin spice latte at.
2. Notting Hill (1999)
A humble British bookseller meets a glamorous Hollywood star, and somehow they still make you believe it could actually happen. If “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy...” doesn’t make you melt, are you even human?
3. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, but with 90s angst and Heath Ledger singing on the bleachers. It’s witty, it’s charming, and it’s the reason we all wanted to rock combat boots to prom.
4. Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011)
Steve Carell learns how to be smooth (thanks to Ryan Gosling’s abs) after his wife leaves him. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling’s chemistry could melt an iceberg, and the twist? Chef’s kiss.
5. Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)
Bridget Jones: the queen of awkward encounters, oversized knickers, and relatable single-girl antics. Plus, a love triangle between Colin Firth and Hugh Grant? It’s like being wrapped in a giant cosy jumper.
6. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018)
What happens when your secret love letters accidentally get mailed to your crushes? Teenage chaos, adorable fake dating tropes, and Peter Kavinsky’s perfect jawline, that’s what.
7. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)
Kate Hudson’s mission: make Matthew McConaughey dump her in 10 days. His mission: make her fall for him in 10 days. The result? Banter, sabotage, and some very questionable magazine advice.
8. Pretty Woman (1990)
Julia Roberts as a whip-smart escort and Richard Gere as the brooding billionaire who falls for her? Absolute classic. The shopping montage alone is worth it. “Big mistake. Huge.”
9. The Proposal (2009)
Sandra Bullock forces her assistant, Ryan Reynolds, to marry her so she can avoid deportation. Chaos ensues, complete with a Betty White cameo, a shirtless Ryan Reynolds, and an awkward family trip to Alaska.
10. My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)
Toula tries to navigate her loud Greek family while falling for a guy who doesn’t know what spanakopita is. It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and will make you want to eat all the baklava.
There you have it—a smorgasbord of love, laughter, and perfect one-liners. Whether you’re watching alone or with your own rom-com co-star, these films are guaranteed to leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy (and maybe googling flight prices to Notting Hill). ❤️
