TOP romantic comedies

Now that it is Christmas time, more than ever we want love and happiness, including on screens! Romantic comedies are one of the most successful genre of the movie History. What are then the best romantic comedies? We have created our own ranking and after many, many discussions, we come to that TOP.

As the genre is very popular, you'll find a lot of different TOP romantic comedies : here, here or here for instance. All these lists are meaningful and with interesting choices. But the interest of our Top is that you can very easily create yours, add some movies we may have forgotten, change the ranking, add comments, and share it with your loved one!

Whatever, in all of our TOP 25 romantic comedies, we have identified three regular problems preventing full expression of love and creating the situation for a comedy.

- The difference of social backgrounds between the protagonists, as in "Roman Holiday "(our #1) : she is a princess, he is a newsman. As in "Pretty Woman" : he is a successful businessman, she is a prostitute. Or as in "My big fat Greek wedding": she is from a Greek family, he is not.

- The character of one of the"lovers", generally the male. In "About a boy", "As good as it gets"  or "High fidelity", the male character is so weird, or childish, or lunatic, that he does not see Love knocking at his door. It will take him 90 minutes to understand how to proceed.

- The "unavailibity" of one of the "lovers". In that case, unavailibility means preciseley "married" but to someone else, or "married very soon to someone else". That's the case, for instance, in "Four weddings and a funeral", "The seven year itch" and "The Philadelphia story".
