"To All the Boys I've Loved Before"
Noah Centineo and Lana Condor in "To All the Boys I've Loved Before."
Netflix
This has quickly become the Netflix original rom-com that all aspire to be.
It's evident seeing that the streaming giant was quick to make a sequel ("To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You") about the relationship between Lara Jean (Lana Condor) and Peter (Noah Centineo). Plus there's a third one on the way.
"Yes Man"
Jim Carrey in "Yes Man."
Warner Bros.
In this fun comedy, Jim Carrey plays a character who has been tasked to say "Yes" to anything. The movie really picks up when Zooey Deschanel shows up as the romantic lead opposite Carrey.
"Y Tu Mama También"
Gael García Bernal and Maribel Verdú in "Y Tu Mama También."
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc.
Alfonso Cuarón's Oscar-nominated movie made Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal international stars. They play two teens who go on a sex-filled road trip with an older woman.
"The Kissing Booth"
Vince Marcello's "The Kissing Booth."
Netflix
Here's another Netflix original rom-com worth your time. In it, Shelly (Joey King) finds herself falling for her best friend's other brother (Jacob Elordi).
"Sleeping with Other People"
Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis in "Sleeping with Other People."
IFC Films
Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis play two people with major issues about relationships who try to stay in the friend zone but end up falling for each other. This is a very well done rom-com that never got its due.
"Chasing Amy"
Ben Affleck and Joey Lauren Adams in "Chasing Amy."
Miramax Films
The movie has become controversial for its treatment of its gay character, but it's still one of Kevin Smith's finest works because of Joey Lauren Adams and Ben Affleck's powerful performances.
"He's Just Not That Into You"
Jennifer Connelly and Bradley Cooper in "He's Just Not That Into You."
New Line Cinema
Made up of a fantastic collection of A-list talent — including Bradley Cooper, Scarlett Johansson, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Connelly, and Drew Barrymore — we follow a group of relationships through their ups and downs.
"Her"
Joaquin Phoenix in "Her."
Warner Bros. Pictures
In a movie that becomes more and more realistic in each passing year, Joaquin Phoenix plays a lonely guy who begins to fall for his operating system (voiced by Scarlett Johansson).
"The Heartbreak Kid"
Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in "The Heartbreak Kid."
Paramount Pictures
In one of the Farrelly brothers' most clever films, they cast Ben Stiller as Eddie, a guy who seems to be on top of the world as he's just gotten married to Lila (Malin Åkerman). But when the two are on their honeymoon, things happen that make him decide to spend more time with Miranda (Michelle Monaghan).
"Set It Up"
Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell in "Set It Up."
Netflix
This 2018 movie brought life into the dying rom-com genre. Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell play assistants who hatch a plan to set up their bosses. And in the process, they also fall for each other.
"Silver Linings Playbook"
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence in "Silver Linings Playbook."
The Weinstein Company.
You can't really expect the normal when you watch a David O. Russell movie, and that's especially true when he does a romantic movie.
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence give great performances as social outcasts who fall in love, while Robert De Niro gives an outstanding performance as the father of Cooper's character.
"Just Friends"
Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart in "Just Friends."
New Line Cinema
What makes this such a fun movie to watch is its wacky comedy. Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart are both charming as two people stuck in the friend zone, but Anna Faris as an unhinged popstar who gets in their way is absolute perfection.
"The Half of It"
(L-R) Leah Lewis and Alexxis Lemire in "The Half of It."
Netflix
Writer-director Alice Wu puts a great twist on the love triangle story by having the outcast girl not just be the one that helps the guy try to land the dream girl, but she's also attracted to the same girl, too.
"Jerry Maguire"
Tom Cruise and Renée Zellweger in "Jerry Maguire."
Sony
Director Cameron Crowe has made a great crop of love stories, but this might be the one he'll be remembered for best. Tom Cruise and Renée Zellweger are cast perfectly as the couple who finally figure it out by the end of the movie.
"Can't Hardly Wait"
Ethan Embry Jennifer Love Hewitt in "Can't Hardly Wait."
Columbia Pictures
Featuring a collection of top young Hollywood stars of the 1990s, we follow an epic night of partying for a collection of high schoolers before they set out to college. Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ethan Embry, Seth Green, and Lauren Ambrose make up the ensemble cast.
"Hitch"
(L-R) Will Smith and Kevin James in "Hitch."
Barry Wetcher /Sony Pictures
I challenge you not to feel good after watching this movie.
Will Smith is at his charming best playing a love doctor who is horrible at his own relationships, and it's probably the best thing Kevin James has ever done as he plays a client of Smith's character.
"Blue Is the Warmest Colour"
Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux in "Blue is the Warmest Colour."
Wild Bunch
Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, this drama follows Adèle's (Adèle Exarchopoulos) self-discovery, which is helped by meeting and starting a relationship with the blue-haired Emma (Léa Seydoux).
"As Good As It Gets"
Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt in "As Good As It Gets."
TriStar Pictures
In one of James L. Brooks' flawless movies on relationships, Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt would both walk away with Oscars for their performances. They play two people who seem the most unlikely to connect, but love finds a way.
"Always Be My Maybe"
Randall Park and Ali Wong in "Always Be My Maybe."
Netflix
After years of developing their own version of "When Harry Met Sally," comedians Randall Park and Ali Wong were finally ready to bring it to the screen thanks to Netflix.
The two play childhood friends who reconnect when they are adults living different lives in San Francisco. Oh, and enjoy the great Keanu Reeves cameo in this movie.
