Top 10 Romantic Comedies Anyone Will Enjoy

In This Article:

I'm not saying that I am a total pro at rom-coms, but I do have a reputation. Since romantic comedy is my all time favorite movie genre, I guess this would really be a list of my favorite movies, so here we go! (Disclaimer: this is in no particular order because who the heck could choose a favorite?!) The list of rom coms you just HAVE to watch:

1. When Harry Met Sally (1989)

Besides having a killer soundtrack, this movie is a classic. It follows two people through different points in their life when they run into each other, and how their relationship develops. Meg Ryan looks stunning throughout, and Billy Crystal is a quirky, yet perfect cast for this film. It's almost hard to tell this movie is 30 years old!

2. Love, Rosie (2014)

This one also follows a friendship, but in a way where the two characters come across many obstacles that prevent them from being together, from youth all the way to their thirties. Lily Collins and Sam Claflin have chemistry like no other, and this really shows through in the film. It's a sweet British movie, and can currently be found on U.S. Netflix!

3. Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)

Another British film, this follows thirty-something-year-old Bridget Jones as she navigates her relationship with herself and with two other men. This is definitely one of those movies you watch to feel better about your life, but it is a great laugh, and has two sequels as well.

4. Love Actually (2003)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOS-HMiVejo

Okay… yes, another British rom com. I really like British people. And Christmas. So if you do as well, this movie is perfect for you! It is similar to Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve, where it follows multiple stories at once, with characters whose lives intertwine. It's a great watch around the holiday season when you cozy up with a blanket and some hot cocoa! It also has a ton of notable actors (too many to name!).

5. The Holiday (2006)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDi5zH18vxU

With such notable actors (Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black, and Jude Law), it is hard not to love this movie. Two women decide to swap houses, one from the U.K. and the other from the U.S. Both fall for men in the other location, with different twists and turns. Definitely a sweet film!

6. 50 First Dates (2004)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_2AbjYeSMI

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore have both starred in many films together, but this by far is my favorite that they have done. It is about a women with memory loss, who cannot remember anything at the beginning of each day. This is definitely high on the comedy scale, so if you enjoy Adam Sandler, check it out!

7. 27 Dresses (2008)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV1-pePln_I

Katherine Heigl is a stunner in this film, which is comical with her abundant amount of bridesmaid dresses. Her sister steals a man she is head over heels in love with, making the whole movie a struggle between Katherine's character and her character's sister. She also meets another man along the way, so watch to see what plays out!

8. Pretty Woman (1990)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EBAVoN8L_U

An all-time Julia Roberts classic, this one's a bit more controversial, with a man hiring a prostitute as his escort for different business and social affairs. I enjoy this one because of the transformation and dynamic relationship that takes place. It's definitely one of those classics that everyone should see!

9. The Princess Bride (1987)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNNUcHRiPS8

Speaking of classics everyone should see, this is THE absolute must see movie. It is like the romantic version of Monty Python, with adventure and fantasy, but on the more family-friendly side. If you are going to watch any movie on this list, I would suggest this one, because it is a movie so many people know (and possibly my favorite on the list!).

10. Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XcLVQCDtbM

The oldest of this list, this movie is timeless in its presence. Audrey Hepburn mastered her role as the NYC socialite Holly Golightly, who has to overcome her past when a new man comes into her life. I was honestly surprised how much I enjoyed this film the first time I watched it, so I would highly recommend!

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.

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.

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.
