‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’
Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey make the perfect mismatched pair in this movie about a man and a woman who make a bet that pairs them together, for better or worse.
‘Bridget Jones’ Diary’
Bridget Jones’ Diary is arguably Renée Zellweger’s best role ever. In a quest to improve herself, a British woman keeps a diary that documents her unexpected year of love.
‘Pretty Woman’
Richard Gere and Julia Roberts make one of the most iconic film duos ever in this film about a prostitute and a businessman who unexpectedly fall in love.
‘The Proposal’
In the hilarious 2009 movie The Proposal, a Type-A boss (Sandra Bullock) pushes her assistant (Ryan Reynolds) into a marriage proposal so she won’t get deported back to Canada.
’10 Things I Hate About You’
Oh, Heath Ledger, how we could watch thee singing on those stairs all day! This ’90s retelling of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew is dripping with high-school nostalgia and cheesy goodness.
‘There’s Something About Mary’
A second chance at ill-fated high school love leads to a lot of laughs in this classic rom-com.
‘Knocked Up’
In Knocked Up, Seth Rogan and Katherine Heigl star as an unexpected pair who, after a one-night stand, decide to commit to having their baby despite the odds.
‘The Princess Bride’
The Princess Bride is truly a classic. The movie tells the story of a couple who face the wildest adventures in the name of love.
‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’
Steve Carell is a 40-year-old virgin. Need I say more?
‘Never Been Kissed’
I’m not Josie Grossie anymore! Or is she? Drew Barrymore stars as a woman who gets a second chance at high school.
’27 Dresses’
Katherine Heigl has really just nailed the chick flick genre. This film takes the saying “always a bridesmaid, never a bride” to a whole new level. Heigl plays a woman who has been a bridesmaid in 27 weddings, and now the man she secretly loves is getting married to her younger sister.
‘Hitch’
If you’ve seen this movie, we’re betting you still can’t forget the scene where Will Smith’s character has an allergic reaction and his face blows up like a balloon. Classic.
‘Sweet Home Alabama’
In Sweet Home Alabama, Reese Witherspoon stars as a fashion designer who is forced to confront her country past in order to make her divorce official.
’13 Going on 30′
Jennifer Garner stars as a 13-year-old girl who makes a wish and winds up in her 30-year-old body.
‘Trainwreck’
Amy Schumer stars as the trainwreck of this tale: a commitment-phobic career woman who meets a nice guy who challenges her to take on the world.
‘When Harry Met Sally’
Can a man and a woman be friends without sex getting in the way? That’s the question explored in this classic rom-com starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal.
‘The Wedding Singer’
Adam Sandler’s hair alone is enough to make you laugh in this film, and that’s before the plot even gets started. Sandler and Drew Barrymore star as two people who are both engaged to the wrong people.
‘Long Shot’
Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron aren’t your most likely couple, and that’s exactly the premise of this wacky 2019 rom-com. When brash (and poorly groomed) journalist Fred Flarsky starts following Polish politician Charlotte Field’s campaign, the two form an unexpected bond.
‘Always Be My Maybe’
We have such a crush on Ali Wong, so it’s not exactly surprising that we loved her rom-com too. Written by Wong herself, Always Be My Maybe is about two high school sweethearts (Wong and Randall Park) who reconnect as adults, and see if their spark can hold up. Wong brings her full comedic powers to this movie, so be prepared for laugh-out-loud moments throughout.
‘She’s the Man’
If you didn’t get an opportunity to play your dream sport because of sexist rules, would you dress up as a boy and take it anyway? In 2006’s She’s The Man, that’s exactly what Amanda Bynes’ character Viola does.
‘Easy A’
Emma Stone’s breakout role in Easy A is all about how one lie can snowball into another, and another, and another. You get the gist, right?
‘Just Go With It’
After lying about having an ex-wife for years, Adam Sandler’s character gets a taste of his own medicine when he meets the girl he thinks is “the one.” Then, he hires his assistant and her two kids to go along with it during a dysfunctional family vacation.
‘Isn’t It Romantic’
Obviously, we love rom-coms. But what if you woke up in a rom-com — and couldn’t get out? That’s what Natalie (Rebel Wilson) faces after getting knocked out on the subway in Isn’t It Romantic. And while walking through life like a rom-com heroine has its perks, it also has serious drawbacks.
‘Plus One’
Longtime friends make a pact to be each other’s plus ones for a series of weddings coming up. But as tensions rise between them, and wedding ceremonies only get sappier, their pact becomes almost impossible to follow through.
‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’
After you get dumped, you might have the urge to leave it all behind and go on a tropical vacation. In Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Jason Segel’s Peter does just that before realizing that his ex is staying in the same Hawaii resort.
