Most of my top 5 and even 10 have sad endings, so I guess I'll stay away from those. Here are some of my favorite romcoms: Some Like It Hot- I didn't discover this until very recently, but I absolutely fell in love with it. I'll be honest, the romance isn't the strongest part (although I've come to appreciate it a bit more upon rewatches). It's just so hilarious. Basically a precursor to White Chicks, two musicians witness a mob hit and disguise themselves as girls to join a girl band across the country. Monte Carlo- a retelling of the Prince and the Pauper with Selena Gomez. While You Were Sleeping- a train worker saves her crush from getting run over by a train and while he's in a coma at the hospital, she's mistaken for his fiancee. Things get more complicated when the guy's brother enters the picture. Move Over, Darling- 5 years after his wife is lost at sea, the now legally widowed father of two marries someone new. The day they leave for their honeymoon, the "dead" wife comes home. Undertaking Betty/Plots with a View (US title and UK title)- After killing her mother in-law, a politician's wife falls in love with the mortician. Deciding against a divorce, they plan to stage her death so they can runaway together. Doc Hollywood- The movie that inspired the plot of Cars. That's putting it nicely. Cars ripped it off. Overboard (1987)- A woman loses her memory after an accident and a man claiming to be her husband takes her home. In actuality, he's a guy she owes money to. The Shop Around the Corner- Two rival shop employees have a secret relationship that not even they realize they have. What to Expect When You're Expecting- In the same vein of Think Like a Man, in fact this came out the same year, this is another film based around a popular self-help book. Except instead of advice on relationships, advice on having a baby. The film follows several couples in various circumstances who are expecting. Whether intentionally pregnant, accidentally pregnant, or adopting. 10 Things I Hate About You- a fun (very 90s) retelling of the Taming of the Shrew. Answer from Olivebranch99 on reddit.com

Actually well written romance movies????
You should definitely watch the Before Trilogy by Richard Linklater then. Incredibly well written romance that follows a couple and their evolving relationship from their meeting in 1995 (Before Sunrise) to 9 years later (Before Sunset) and concluding in 2013 with Before Midnight. All entries were genuinely filmed 9 years apart as following the story and you can see how the characters and actors evolved over that period. Both heartwarming and heartbreaking! More on reddit.com

Hi ! My boyfriend and I are looking for some good romance movies for our movie date. I thought I'd ask here along with a few other spots.
We want movies that have happy endings. If you can, tell me a little about the plot too, please! Thank you all (: I don't mind if its cheesy or has adultery topics, but we do need something that'll hold our attention.

Listen. I love good romances like Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Two Weeks Notice, and Bridget Jones Diary (minus all the fat phobia comments. That girl was skinny, damn it).

I love romances. But, I rarely EVER watch them! So many are either beautifully written but end tragically, or are cheesy with no chemistry. A lot of them also don’t have much of a plot.

So please please please give me recommendations! I don’t care if the romance is secondary, I want all recommendations gay or straight, don’t leave out any foreign films, and they HAVE to have good chemistry! For the love of god!

Doesn’t matter if it’s wholesome and romantic or sexy - I need something well written and well thought out. Almost all of the ones I actually like are Jane Austen inspired. That wonderful woman cannot have been the ONLY great romance writer!

(Side note, you can’t just show us two attractive people standing in the same room and let that be their chemistry. I’ve watched so many action movies, horror movies, scifis, fantasies, and most of the romance couples have zero chemistry. Anyways.)
