- There's no better time for a rom-com binge than Valentine's Day.
- For the day, we've created a comprehensive list of the 53 best romantic comedies ever made.
- The list includes gems like "When Harry Met Sally," "The Proposal," and "(500) Days of Summer."
For most of the last decade, film critics spent a lot of their time writing about the so-called death of the romantic comedy.
And despite the popularity of these statements, they were always greatly overstated, sprinkled with tinges of misogyny, and half-baked - the genre has never really faltered in popularity or quality.
Now, this year, due to ongoing COVID-19-related travel restrictions, it is likely that most people will have nothing to do and nowhere to go on Valentine's Day. Well, controversially, unless you're in New York City. So, there's really no better time to delve into the expansive history of romantic comedies.
Below, Insider's entertainment team picked 53 of our favorite romantic comedies that will get you through the big day.
The list includes 80's classics like "Moonstruck" as well as new gems like "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" and, of course, a whole bunch of Nora Ephron and Richard Curtis classics.
Keep reading to see which films made the cut, listed below in no particular order.
