The 75+ Best Romantic Comedies of All Time (Parade) Chronologically, Plus Hon. Mentions*
"We've rounded up the very best of one of our favorite genres: the romantic comedy! For this list, any funny movie where will-they-or-won't-they romance is front-and-center is fair game. From the revered early screwball masterworks of Howard Hawks and Ernst Lubitsch, to the sparkling sexcapades of New Hollywood, to the shaggy Judd Apatow brand that's dominated for years now—and everything in between—these movies make us laugh as much as they make our hearts flutter. Some rom-coms are binge-able comfort food. Some are best to laugh through with friends. And some offer sweet nostalgia. However you watch them, the best romantic comedies will always get you. Our list reveals there were rom-com gems in every decade, dating back to the 1920s and all the way up to the 2020s, especially thanks to a much-needed dose of diversity finally hitting the genre. Here are the 75 best romantic comedies of all time." - parade.com * The chronological lists ends at #78, then Honorable Mentions
