Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. These actors always made some of the best romcoms ever🥰
They sure did and I love when Richard Gere and Julia Roberts play together they got together again in "Runaway Pride"
Sandra Bullock too.
Katherine Heigl and Keira Knightley
And Jennifer Aniston
‘13 Going On 30’ basically reminded me that Jennifer Garner can pull of brilliant comedies and physical comedy.
Love Mark Ruffalo in 13/30 and Just like Heaven.
0:42 Groundhog day
1:48 10 things I hate about you.
3:00 sleepless in Seattle
4:09 my best friend's wedding 🥺
5:25 pretty woman
6:27 Bridget Jones's Diary.💓
7:35 You've got mail.
8:37 clueless 🌈
9:49 Notting Hill🥺😭
13:07 Four weddings and a funeral.
I miss this golden age. I love old rom-coms. They were so good.
Pretty Woman's scene 'He sleeps' hits me hard every time with that absolutely beautiful piano melody!! They both know what that kiss means... Such a perfect love scene.
Richard Gere is handsome.
@@ladybhive1210 Oh, he is! in pretty woman, he was irresistible.
Finally, some justice for Four Weddings and a Funeral. Also I find it crazy not to include When Harry met Sally which is superior to any other rom-com that Meg Ryan did and should be a strong contender for the top 3 positions.
They didn’t include it because When Harry met Sally came out in 1989
@Busta Rhymes Forever As well as Addicted to Love
00:20
TOTAL AGREEMENT- not a movie historian but I would’ve started with 1988 since to my mind that movie reinvigorated the genre
I think the other respondents were all trying to get an “A” from the teacher
This affirms that I'm a certified hopeless romantic. My young adult life was filled with the Golden Era of Rom-Com. I have watched each and every movie in this countdown (including the honorable mentions) multiple times. And I still rewatch them when I catch it on cable or when its available in my streaming subscription.
Ironically, I am still single 😄😆😄
‘Notting Hill’ is so quotable and awesome. I’ve memorised the dialogue and have low-key envisioned my life with a charming British Man whom I’ve never met in person lol
I’m also just a viewer standing in front of my screen asking the comments section to be wholesome.
Yes, many of these are my top rom coms. "Clueless" and "10 Things I Hate About You" took classic stories and remodernised them for contemporary viewers, making them iconic teen flicks.
Honestly, I don't consider those two to be rom-coms. They are just a different class of movie all together.
I didn’t particularly like clueless but I like 10 things I hate about you.
I’m devastated that I saw ‘Clueless’ so late in life and I never saw it on TV. It’s aged mostly well and it reminded me of my time in University.
Rest in Power, Brittany Murphy.
You’ve Got Mail is my favorite of these. My youngest child was born right after I bought it on dvd and that movie got me through many sleepless nights. 23 years later I have wonderful memories of it still.
‘10 Things I Hate About You’ had the best lead and SUCH CHEMISTRY ⚛️
I'm so glad 'While You Were Sleeping' gets recognition!! Thank you Msmojo this is such an accurate list!!😊
Good list.
Notting Hill, Pretty Woman and Four Weddings...
are three of my my all-time top-tens.
Notting Hill is by far my favourite rom com of all time. Between the funny dialogue, Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts chemistry, and that amazing music, I can't help but smile even at the thought of that movie. And it has a goat playing a violin, just as all good love stories should.
“13 going on 30” was just an honourable mention!? One of my favs
My two favorites: Love Actually and While You Were Sleeping. I never tire of these.
Same!! Those are my two favorite rom coms.
@@user-hso8263jks Nice to know someone shares my joys😊☕
Ah, how I wish I could watch these for the first time again! What a time to be alive the Rom-Com Golden Age was!
I have to say, this list is by far was spot on. All of the films mentioned, even the honorable mentions, were rightfully picked. All of them defined what rom-coms should really be.
‘Pretty Woman’ introduced me to Julia Roberts Excellence. Also, Richard Gere is THE SILVER FOX 👨🦳
‘There’s Something About Mary’ has not aged well at all but apart from that, Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller are just so cute.
Screw it, still an amazing rom com
I don’t remember any romance, just weird grossness.
I love rom-coms, especially those with great soundtrack, and I've seen all the movies in this list. BUT, for me, the No. 1 spot undoubtedly goes to My best friend's wedding. Then Nos. 2 and 3 are Bridget Jones diary and Love Actually, respectively. I never get tire of rewatching these 3 films 🥰
My favorites listed in the video are While You Were Sleeping, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Notting Hill, and Groundhog Day. A few others I would add are Return to Me, Just Like Heaven, and Nine Months.
13 going on 30 is my favorite rom-com. I can't watch it enough.
I don't understand why you restrict the range. "When Harry Met Sally..." is the movie that kicked off Meg Ryan's status as the "It" rom-com female lead. You also left "French Kiss" out of all of it.
Yes. French Kiss should have been on there!
Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman happened in 1990 and shes truly the physical embodiment of the rom-com.
You've Got Mail is probably my favorite of all time with Love Actually the follow-up. The others are also great, but I watch YGM at least every other month. I'm a bookstore lover, so I'm sure that plays a huge role, along with my undying love of the Hanks and Ryan duo in their films. Further, I think email back then was as close to letter writing as one could get. I actually miss the AOL dial-up and iconic, "You've Got Mail."
‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ was such delightful fun, funny and of course, that red PJ Suit Sequence and yes, I fear being eaten by Alsatians while also turning into Glenn Close from ‘Fatal Attraction’.
P.S. More than the central love triangle, Gemma Jones and Jim Broadbent as Bridget’s parents were so adorable.
I just wish ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ was available for me to watch. I’ve heard great things about it.
Love it. 4 weddings and a funwral is one of my all time favourite rom-coms. EVER. Along with love actually.
If you can get hold of a copy you wi
@@sandrawood6398 which were written by the same guy that also wrote Notting Hill
Try your local library if you still have a DVD player
Love how so many actors have multiple appearances on your list (Julia, Meg, Andie, Hugh). At the top of their game they all knew how to deliver! As a fan of older actresses I do love Something's Gotta Give and Diane Keaton vs. Jack Nicholson in a love triangle with Keanu Reeves!
"Love actually" is my favorite of all times❤
Love Actually is my #1 all-time favorite movie! 🥰
Clueless is my absolute favourite.
You missed some of these:
How to lose a guy in 10 days.
Ghosts of girlfriends past.
Definitely, maybe.
What happens in Vegas.
No strings attached.
Confessions of a shopaholic.
You omitted one of our rom-con queens, Jennifer Lopez? No Wedding Planner? No Maid in Manhattan? Furthermore, no Love & Basketball?
Shall We Dance
There’s Something About Mary. Definitely deserves a spot on the main list. It’s so good. Same with 13 Going on 30.
While you were sleeping is #1 in my eyes
I'd definitely move that one up the list as well! And Only You is great as well as The Wedding Singer.
No Michael McConaughey? What about "The Wedding Planner"? Or how about Drew Barrymore? "The Wedding Singer" or "Never Been Kissed"?
The Wedding Singer for sure deserved top 10. But I also loved Only You and I think Someone Like You also deserves honorable mention. Not sure if As Good as it Gets is a romcom, but I loved it. LOL
@@doodahgurlie I absolutely love both Only You and Someone Like You!!!! Very underrated movies!!! I would also add Kate & Leopold and Serendipity!!!!
@@karawardlaw4090 Yep, I've watched both continuously for years - especially Only You it's a favorite along with While You Are Sleeping. But I also really like Made of Honor, too (which was released after the Rom-Com Golden Age, I think).
@@doodahgurlie yes!!! Those are good ones too!!!
While you were sleeping should be in the top 10 instead of honourable mention. One of the best chemistry i’ve seen on the screen
That movie is so underrated
Yep, it's one of my favorites decades later. I also love Only You, which should be on there.
I’m a hopeless romantic, so this list should contain 20 or at least 15 more.
1. Sense and Sensibility
2. Emma
3. North and South
4. Gone With the Wind
5. Far From the Maddning Crowd
6. Titanic
7. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
8.. Nicholas and Alexandra
9. King Arthur
10. Anne of a 1000 Days
11. Elizabeth
12. A Room With A View
13. Wuthering Heights
14. Romeo and Juliet
15. South Pacific
I could go on and on, but with the 5 in the video, here’s my top 20.
None of these are rom-coms. That's why they're not included.
@@Chocobear555 Emma is the only one of those which is.
Romcoms are comedies. You list a load of dramas.
wowwww almost all the actors here are featured many times, especially Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant 👌
''Notting Hill'' for me :-) hands down !!!
Not sure why "Love Actually" was 'Honorable Mention' and not in the top ten, as you had its writer (Richard Curtis) as your #1/2 film author. It's far better than half the top ten you picked (IMO of course).
Late Edit -- and where is Jerry McGuire? (speaking of quotable RomComs!)
This
I rhought Love Actually was going to be number 1. Kinda disappointed it wasn't. I am glad that While You Were Sleeping made honourable mention at least.
Notting Hill has an outstanding cast top to bottom. I love While You Were Sleeping. Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman are just too adorable and his family is hysterical.
Notting Hill is one of the best romance movie!!
oh my, i love While you were sleeping, my favorite
The fact that ive watched ALL of movies on this list 😭
Was hoping to see “how to lose a guy in 10 days” having at least an honorable mention
It’s ‘My big fat Greek wedding’ for me 🙃
You got mail is my favorite, thank you for ranking it high.
I just missed French Kiss in this list... I love this movie, I can re-watch it comfortably once every year, it has aged quite well, it is funny and touching... For me much better than the other Meg Ryan's movies listed in this list.
Good list but it should've been a Top 20. Too many good and iconic ones left out. It was a golden era for a reason!
Love actually is at the top for me and an honorable mention is not good enough for this movie
Also have to suggest “One Fine Day” and “It Could Happen to You”, which both should have been honorable mentions. Good list though.
one fine day was good . but maybe little older to make it to the list
While You Were Sleeping should be in the top 10. It's not just a good rom com but also such a touching story about family.
I think the movie, “Groundhog Day” is very comforting ;)). Thanks for the reminder ;)!
How is Love Actually NOT in the top 10??? Crazy!
You missed out "The Wedding Planner" with JLo and Matthew McConaughey from 2001...it should have been at least an honorable mention.
Love that movie 🥰
When Harry met Sally is a film which I will watch anyday, any given time.. especially during Christmas!
My favorite romcom from this era, and actually my favorite in general, is the Prince and Me!
I love that movie. Charming.
This whole list is almost all either Julia or Hugh or both of them🤣
You absolutely must watch These films!!
I've seen 7 of them (Including one Honorable Mention).
Clueless has ALWAYS been one of my favorite movies of all time,and I believe it should be the #1 Best RomCom of all time. This was my teenage existence in movie form. The friends,school,my clique, parties,and trying to navigate the opposite sex. It has,and always will be,a 90s kids diary on film.
Of course, this list is limited to English language films only. If expanded to international films, I would strongly recommend the 2003 Taiwanese movie "Turn Left, Turn Right," produced and distributed by Warner Bros. I am obsessed with this rom-com. The story, actors, acting, and music are exceptional. It will make your heart ache. Do watch it if you have a chance. I think it is posted on CZcams.
Beautiful movie indeed. Asian movies should have a list here too. Make sure they include My Sassy Girl.
You’ve Got Mail is my all time favorite, can’t stop rewatching it ❤
Notting hill is an absolute gem.
Lmao I was going to sleep but this list made me wake up for just a bit so I can confirm my love for Rom-Coms 🔥
I would like see in this list French Kiss. A very nice story, and Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline are amazing in this film
I am 1000% with you here!! I love this movie, Meg Ryan really shines in this very comedic role full of misadventures, the plot is interesting, her chemistry with Kevin Kline full of comedic dialogues, all the French setting between Paris, the wine production village and the Riviera... One the best movies of the 1990s.
It makes no sense to exclude 89, because When Harry Met Sally revived romcoms that year.
Love Actually is one of my favorite movies.
Seeing pretty woman the musical next month! Love that movie
Julia Roberts dominated this list. She really is the rom-com queen! ❤️
👑
🎎 "Kate & Leopard" (2001)
WOW! You left out Boomerang, As Good as it Gets, and Forget Paris!
10 things i hate about you will forever ne my favorite rom-com
Yep. I LOVE that movie as well as Clueless. But also love The Wedding Singer and Only You, which should be on the list as well. And While You were Sleeping should be top 3!
I dont care what anyone say I love a good ron com movie I have a lot of favorites
I am actually surprised Richard Curtis is not mentioned as he is the real maestro behind some of these listed movies such as Bridget Jones franchises, Notting Hill, Love actually and Four weddings & a funeral...
I was expecting ‘Just like Heaven’ to be a part of this list!
I'm from Australia and it's actually called 'Suddenly 30' here not '13 Going on 30' 😊
I’ve just realised that I like well-cast Rom-Coms. Just a note to filmmakers out there lol
Love this list! I do wish that How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days was somewhere on the list. Otherwise, Clueless on down the list, along with many of the honorable mentions, are some of my favorite movies ever.
0:04 I can relate, this is how I feel about Paul Rudd lol
I was waiting for The Wedding Singer, at least in the honorable mentions.
Me too. It’s my absolute favorite!
Missing Serendipity
Great list! These are my favorites Notting Hill, You've Got Mail, 13 Going On 30, Pretty Woman, & The Wedding Planner (not even an honorable mention?)
How to lose a guy in 10 days, starring Matthew Mcconaughey and Kate Hudson, should have had at least an honorable mention
*MY FAVORITES:*
"While You Were Sleeping"
"10 Things I Hate About You"
"You've Got Mail"
"13 Going on 30"
"Two Weeks Notice"
"My Big Fat Greek Wedding"
"Bridget Jones's Diary"
"Clueless"
"My Best Friend's Wedding"
"Groundhog Day"
*HONORABLE MENTION:* "I.Q."
As much as I love "Pretty Woman," I don't think of it as a rom-com. I think of it more as a romantic drama. That's why I didn't include it on my list.
I saw all of these, Bridget Jones in bits and pieces when I used to have hbo on cox cable. Please make more, I dont care if it's formulaic, i predicted everything in a tourist guide to love. I'll add how to lose a guy in 10 days, 40 days and 40 nights, the one with Matthew perry and neve Campbell, head over heels, the one with Tim robbins and Einstein.
Love Actually will always be my favourite!
My favorite rom coms are 10 Things I Hate About You, Notting Hill, You've Got Mail, Pretty Woman, While You Were Sleeping, and 13 Going on 30. They're such classics. 😍
If this list was best comedies ever, then Groundhog Day would sit at number 1.
I love numbers 9, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2, and I also love My Big Fat Greek Wedding with Love Actually. I know I am a complete romantic.
Glad four weddings and a funeral is number 1💞🥰💯
My favourite is the wedding singer.
Meg Ryan 🤝🏻Julia Roberts
Queens of
rom-com
Your pick for Nr. 1 is perfect!
Great list I agree with the list
I don't particularly like Julia Roberts or Hugh Grant, but Notting Hill is, hands down, one of my absolute favorite movies.
The Comedies are okay with Actors who are not Knights like Bill Murray, Tom Hanks, Adam Sandler but a really good Romantic Movie is Me the Queen Natalie Helferty as Actress and the Knights as Actors falling for each other on screen. Knights are Hugh Grant, Paul Rudd, Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaghy, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Kevin Costner, Mel Gibson, Richard Gere, Rodger Moore, Sean Connery, Robert Redford, Harrison Ford, Christopher Plummer, Elvis Presley, Hayden Christiansen, Patrick Dempsey, Zac Efron, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, John Travolta.
Very very great list I like it a lot very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 💝
Notting Hill is still the best Romantic Comedy ever!!!❤
Make a top 10 best Logan and Camille moments in Big Time Rush, please.
