Rom-com Movies to Watch This Weekend

Hey there, rom-com aficionados! If you’re in the mood for some feel-good, heart-fluttering, and downright hilarious entertainment, you’re in the right place. We’ve curated a list of Rom-Com movies that will make your heart skip a beat and your laughter burst forth like champagne from a shaken bottle. So, grab your popcorn, your cozy blanket, and maybe a tissue or two (for both tears of joy and laughter), because it’s time to dive headfirst into the world of romantic comedy!


1. When Harry Met Sally (1989)

Let’s start with a classic, shall we? “When Harry Met Sally” is the movie that asks that age-old question: Can men and women ever just be friends? Harry and Sally wrestle with this conundrum as they navigate friendship, love, and the most iconic diner scene in cinematic history. Directed by Rob Reiner and starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, this one’s a must-watch for anyone with a soft spot for witty banter and slow-burning romance. 


2. Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011)

If you’re looking for a movie that’ll have you saying, “I’ve got to try that move!” look no further than “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” Steve Carell plays a middle-aged man navigating the single life with the help of Ryan Gosling’s character, who’s an expert in the art of seduction. This film serves up laughter, life lessons, and a generous helping of shirtless Ryan Gosling. Need we say more?


3. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

Shakespearean drama meets high school romance in this modern adaptation of “The Taming of the Shrew.” Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt star in this delightful tale of love, rebellion, and teenage angst. Plus, who can forget that rooftop serenade? It’s the kind of movie that’ll make you wish you went to high school in the ’90s. 


4. The Princess Diaries (2001)

Okay, we’re throwing a curveball with this one, but hear us out. “The Princess Diaries” is the ultimate feel-good rom-com that combines a classic Cinderella story with a dash of teenage awkwardness. Anne Hathaway is the unsuspecting heir to a European throne, and her transformation from klutzy teen to elegant royalty is a joy to watch. Plus, Julie Andrews as the queen? It’s practically perfect in every way.


5. Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Breakups are tough, but they’re even tougher when your ex is a famous TV star. Jason Segel plays a heartbroken composer who takes a trip to Hawaii to heal his wounds, only to find that his ex, played by Kristen Bell, is staying at the same resort. Cue the hilarity, the awkward encounters, and a whole lot of personal growth. If you’ve ever experienced a messy breakup, this one’s for you.


6. 500 Days of Summer (2009)

We’re switching gears for a moment with this one. “500 Days of Summer” is not your typical rom-com. It’s a bittersweet exploration of love, heartbreak, and the messy reality of relationships. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel give standout performances in this non-linear narrative that’ll make you rethink the way you view love stories.


7. Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)

Meet Bridget Jones, the endearingly clumsy and relatable British singleton. Renée Zellweger takes us on a hilarious journey through Bridget’s life as she navigates her career, family, and her complicated love life. Colin Firth and Hugh Grant add to the charm as they compete for Bridget’s heart. It’s the ultimate tale of self-discovery and the quest for true love, warts and all. 


8. The Proposal (2009)

Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds star in this laugh-out-loud rom-com about a Canadian executive who convinces her assistant to marry her to avoid deportation. From the fake engagement to the chaotic family meet-up, this movie delivers big on humor and heartwarming moments. Plus, who can resist the chemistry between Bullock and Reynolds?


9. Love, Actually (2003)

This one is for the holiday rom-com lovers! “Love, Actually” weaves together multiple love stories set during the Christmas season in London. With a star-studded cast that includes Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley, and more, this movie is a heartwarming celebration of love in all its forms. It’s like a warm cup of cocoa for your soul.


10. Notting Hill (1999)

Last but certainly not least, “Notting Hill” is the quintessential British rom-com that pairs Hugh Grant with Julia Roberts. Grant plays a charming bookshop owner who unexpectedly falls in love with the world’s most famous actress (played by Roberts). The witty humor and undeniable chemistry between the leads make this a timeless classic.


There you have it, folks! A smorgasbord of rom-com goodness to keep you entertained this weekend. Whether you’re in the mood for classic romance, laugh-out-loud moments, or a little bit of both, these movies have got you covered. So, grab your favorite rom-com buddy (or fly solo if you’re feeling independent), and let the rom-com marathon begin. After all, who needs roses and chocolates when you’ve got a screen full of love and laughter? Enjoy!
