The 15 Best Rom-Coms of All Time Ranked by Screenrant
"Between their swoon-worthy love stories, hilarious scenarios, and unique takes on beloved trope, the best rom-coms appeal to all fans of the genre. All a romantic comedy needs to do is showcase a love triangle, a misunderstanding, or Meg Ryan, and odds are good the movie will cement itself in pop culture history. The formula for a great rom-com is difficult to master. It should be funny but not so much that it can't be taken seriously. The movie's love story needs to be realistic and genuine without being overly saccharine. Rom-coms are a balancing act that can fall apart quickly if the plot or tone doesn't feel right. But when things stars, plot, and tone all line up correctly, a rom-com can be enjoyed by even the most cynical movie lover. The best rom-coms manage to make a familiar story feel fresh and real, which can be accomplished through strong storytelling, actors with chemistry, and a lot of laughs." - screenrant.com
