The perfect way to relax on a rainy is to pull out the ol’ laptop and watch a movie in bed. But what kind of movie is the best to watch on these kinds of days? If you want to believe in love again, the obvious choice is a romance, but on the other hand, you want a movie you can come away from feeling happy, rather than sad. Hence the birth of the magnificent genre called romantic-comedy/”rom-com” for short. With that being said, here’s a list I’ve compiled of some of my favorite rom-coms and why you should watch them on rainy days, or any day for that matter.

1. "Stuck in Love"

  • American romantic comedy-drama
  • Lily Collins stars in another magnificent rom-com
  • One of Logan Lerman’s best movies since The Perks
  • Sam is such a BADASS
  • Lou is the most precious character who you’ll love forever
  • 3 different intertwining love stories
  • A story about writers and books also!!

2. "Love, Rosie"


  • British-German romantic comedy-drama
  • Sam Claflin AND Lily Collins in one movie!!
  • A massively underrated film that no one knows about
  • Cool British accents
  • Frustrating, yet clever
  • Centered around the most precious friendship ever!!
  • “You deserve someone who loves you with every beat of his heart.” *AHHHH*

3. "27 Dresses"

  • Makes dating your ex-stepbrother seem totally cool

    • 5. "What’s Your Number?"

    • Romantic comedy
    • The title doesn’t mean what you think it means
    • Vastly underrated
    • Anna Faris is so darn hilarious
    • Two of the Marvel superhero Chris’s in this movie (Chris Evans and Chris Pratt)

    6. "Crazy, Stupid, Love"

    • American romantic comedy-drama
    • Two words: HEATH LEDGER
    • Based on Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew”
    • Kat Stratford doesn’t deal will anyone’s BS
    • Unforgettable music number by Patrick Verona
    • Joseph Gordon Levitt was so YOUNG AND ADORABLE
    • Kat’s poem at the end *sobs eternally*

    8. "50 First Dates"

    • American romantic comedy
    • Fairly new movie
    • Based on a true story
    • The main character is a comedian and does stand up shows, so there’s added humor inside of an already funny movie
    • Portrays the lives and struggles of Pakistani Americans
    • Kumail Nanjiani is a gem!!!

    In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

    Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

    These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

    Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

    The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

    Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

    We are all more than just one sign.

    What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

    The Importance Of Being A Good Person

    An open letter to the good-hearted people.

    Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

    We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
