2. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
3. 27 Dresses
4. 13 Going on 30
5. Aloha

I have no idea if that's really my top 5, but they were top of mind.

A few, more classic love story movies


Neither Splendor in the Grass or Somewhere in Time are rom coms either, but the OP said ":Chick Flicks and rom coms".

My wife loves this movie and I absolutely hate it.

But I dislike all the leads other than Steve Martin.

You're playing fast and loose with the word "comedy" here.

Personally I don’t think alot of these are rom-coms. I get that there are romantic components to Forgetting Sarah Marshall or 40 Year-old Virgin, but I think in order to be a true rom-com it has to be balanced between the rom and the com. It sounds absurd but FSM and 40 YOV are disqualified from being rom coms in my mind bc too damn funny.

For me, the ones I’d throw out are as follows:

-Definitely Maybe
-Crazy Stupid Love
-No Strings Attached
-Friends with Benefits
-Two Night Stand
-Five Year Engagement

Idk why the last two aren’t brought up more often. I think they’re all-time rom coms.

because it's a cinematic masterpiece and transcends the genre of rom-com.

i greatly enjoy this movie but it's more of a father daughter story similar to about time.

100% agree. I was talking Two Night Stand and Five Year Engagement

Crazy Stupid Love is an absolutely perfect movie, no notes
