27 Dresses

27 Dresses is one of those all-time rom-com classics. It follows the story of Jane, played by Katherine Heigl, as the living embodiment of the phrase ‘Always a bride, never a bridesmaid’. Jane has been a bridesmaid a whopping 27 times! And now, after a string of bad relationships, she finds her younger sister is marrying the man she loves!

You’ve Got Mail

You’ve Got Mail pairs together two of the biggest stars of their generation, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. The couple starts emailing each other and slowly falling for each other while not realizing they’re business rivals! This riveting and heartwarming movie is just a beautiful experience and one of the best examples of the enemies turned lovers trope out there.

Pretty Woman

No rom-com list would be complete without Pretty Woman. Pretty Woman is not only one of the most iconic rom-coms, but one of the most iconic movies of all time! It's the movie that made Julia Roberts a household name and made every woman want Richard Gere as their husband. Julia Roberts plays a prostitute who’s hired by Richard Gere to accompany him to events. However, soon the pair starts developing feelings for each other and what follows is a wonderful, magical journey for every viewer.

The Ugly Truth

The Ugly Truth is a slightly different take on Rom-coms. In fact, it's almost an anti-rom-com. It stars Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl as the leads and Mike( Gerard Butler) has only one aim, proving that love is a lie. What follows is a heartwarming and hilarious tale of a great cat and mouse chase between the two character’s philosophies, one that results in a great watch for almost anyone.

Yesterday

Yesterday is a newer rom-com and quite a different one as well. The movie centers around Jack who is a musician who’s in love with a girl and a huge fan of The Beatles. One fateful night, Jack has an accident after which he wakes up in a world where The Beatles never existed, but he has memories of all their songs and all their knowledge as well. He then uses this knowledge to make a successful music career, singing Beatles songs. This brilliant storyline then progresses beautifully to show how it impacts his relationship with his lover and the effect it has on all his other relationships as well. A must-watch for any fan of The Beatles and rom-com fans!

Meet The Parents

Meet The Parents is a brilliant movie about the pressures of meeting your girlfriend’s parents the first time. The movie stars Ben Stiller as Greg Focker, a shy nurse who’s about to meet his girlfriend Pamela’s parents for the first time. The problem arises when her dad, played by Robert De Niro, is an ex CIA operative who’s also a real perfectionist when it comes to who dates his daughter. The movie is a hilarious exaggeration of what every guy feels when he visits his girlfriend’s parents for the first time. A perfect watch for you and your partner.

How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days

How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days is probably the funniest Rom-com of all time. The film stars maybe the most attractive on-screen couple to ever exist, Matthew McGonahey and KateHudson. The main plot of the movie is deception. Both Benjamin (Matthew) and Andie(Kate) are deceiving each other.
