I think I would change my list and substitute Serendipity with Chungking Express.

One entire page, and nobody has mentioned Notting Hill?
What a great movie.

frickin' love that movie but not really a rom-com...but then again, posters have mentioned True Romance, so all is fair game.

The backyard scene alone makes that movie. You won’t get the context unless you watch the movie.

How the hell has this thread gone four pages and no one mentioned the GOAT-

As Good As It Gets

For old school I’d add It Happened One Night and maybe Charade. Heck, you could throw in a lot of Cary Grant Movies like Father Goose and Houseboat.

Jerry McGuire is a rom com disguised as a football movie.

For my off the wall no that’s not really a rom com pick, I’ll go with Smokey & The Bandit. He only takes his hat off for two things ya know.

Really old school, but the first Rom-Com might very well be The Thin Man. William Powell and Myrna Loy pretty much built the framework for romantic banter and flirty behavior on screen in this first of a series.

Noting Hill was a very well made and enjoyable film.

This doesn't belong here. It's more of a dramedy than a rom com. Rom coms usually end right...not with you bawling your eyes out.

Neither of these are rom coms. While involving romance, these are not comedies. These are romantic dramas.

Which movies make up your Mt. Rushmore?


Two Weeks Notice is the GOAT. If it's got Hugh Grant in it, it's a great Rom Com. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is right behind. it on my rankings

4.) Clueless


I don't even really consider this a rom com. I mean I guess it definitely fits the description though

Edit: If mini-series are allowed, it's 100% the Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice.

Serendipity (2001) is one I like watching.
Moonstruck (1987) is another one I love. The older couples add a lot to the movie.
Always (1989) is another one I really enjoy.

A few, more classic love story movies I'd recommend are:
Splendor in the Grass - (1961)
Somewhere in Time - (1980)
Doctor Zhivago - (1965)
Roman Holiday - (1953)
