11 Rom-Coms That Are Literally The Crème De La Crème Of The Genre

Something's Gotta Give needs more recognition!

11. Music and Lyrics

Warner Bros.

One of the most underrated rom-coms from the last couple of decades, this movie stars Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant as they write hit songs and fall in love. Try not to dance in your seat during the music sequences!

10. A Cinderella Story

Warner Bros.

Hilary Duff stars in this early 2000s take on Cinderella, swapping the glass slipper for a flip phone. Come for Jennifer Coolidge as the evil stepmother, stay for Chad Michael Murray as Prince Charming.

9. (500) Days of Summer

Fox Searchlight Pictures

An indie rom-com with a not-so-happy ending, this movie will have you laughing, crying, and begging your significant other to take you on a date to Ikea.

8. Shakespeare in Love

Miramax

If you're a fan of Bridgerton, this one's for you! Gwyneth Paltrow stars in this period love story full of whimsy and heart. After you watch, make sure to Google the equally iconic pink dress Paltrow wore to the Oscars that year to bring home her Best Actress award.

7. Say Anything...

20th Century Fox

A classic of the genre, John Cusack is utterly swoon-worthy as he chases the object of his affection, played by Ione Skye. This movie is worth watching simply to understand the boombox outside the window reference.

6. Something's Gotta Give

Warner Bros.

Diane Keaton nails her role as a middle-aged woman who falls for her daughter's significantly-older boyfriend on a weekend trip to the Hamptons. The plot sounds a little bit outlandish, but the veteran actress manages to ground it in reality.

5. Palm Springs

Hulu

For the sci-fi lovers out there, this film is funny and full of heart, while also involving a Groundhog Day-esque time loop. Cristin Milioti and Andy Samberg have surprisingly perfect chemistry.

4. When Harry Met Sally

Columbia Pictures

Can men and women ever really be friends? Probably yes, but we still love watching these two BFFs fall in love.

3. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Paramount Pictures

This instant classic stars Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey as star-crossed lovers. They both make bets behind each other's back — hers being that she can get rid of him by committing negative girlfriend cliches, and his being that he can stay with the same girl for a month. It's safe to say that hijinks ensue.

2. My Big Fat Greek Wedding

IFC Films

This movie tackles the complicated subject of the first-generation immigrant experience with side-splitting humor and levity. Nia Vardalos both wrote and starred in this rom-com masterpiece.

1. 10 Things I Hate About You

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

This movie is perfection from the very first scene, which features Allison Janney writing erotica. Julia Stiles nails the angsty teen persona opposite a young Heath Ledger. Need we say more?
