I think my favourite rom-com is Bridget Jones’s Diary. Renée Zellweger nailed the role of Bridget, playing her as a flawed but endearing girl looking for love. I mean, how could you not root for her? Plus, that “fight” scene between Hugh Grant and Colin Firth was comedic gold!
My favourite RomCom is “Definitely, Maybe”. I think what makes it so special is that it’s so honest about the human experience. Love is complicated, and never on time, it hurts and sometimes it ends, people drift in and out of your life and there may never be a fairy tale ending. Friends become lovers only to dissipate into acquaintances. Your career gets in the way, you get in your way, and all of it falls apart or comes together in a beautiful moment. Everyone has a story like that.
My favourite Rom Com is The Notebook. I just love that movie!

My favourite RomCom is definitely You’ve Got Mail with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. It’s a charming love story and you’re rooting for them to “find” each other. Watching it always makes me nostalgic, they don’t make RomComs like this anymore..
I love anything by John Hughes. He completely captures the emotional heart of teens. All that angst and longing! And Anthony Michael Hall! (pre-crazy)
My favourite RomCom is The Princess Bride. It has everything you would want in a movie, and it appeals to the entire family.
As it says in the introduction: It has, “Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True love. Hate. Revenge. Giants. Hunters. Bad men. Good men. Beautifulest ladies. Snakes. Spiders. Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passion. Miracles.”
My favourite romantic comedy definitely has to be “Love Actually”. Although it’s technically Christmas oriented, it remains to be the perfect combination of wit, charm and romance. Often movies that contain so many well-known actors and actresses fall short, or seem incredibly forced, but Richard Curtis did a brilliant job in weaving everyone’s tales fluidly. It’s been a decade since its release, yet it remains a classic and brilliant RomCom!
My favourite romantic comedy is The Notebook because the more I watch it, the more I cry throughout the film (tears of happiness and sadness). It’s a beautiful love story.
Thats a tough one… but my favorite would have to be 500 days of summer, it hit me by surprise and I loved every frame. It was creative, different and very much stylish. The music was my favorite part, the film had a booming soundtrack and opened my ears to music in which Id never knew Id like… JGL and Zooey were magical, they’re performance were incredibly well done, they were… real.
“Its love, its not Santa Claus”
…would silver linings count? lol
