IndieWire's Best Rom-Coms of All Time (2023 Update) - Page 3

"There's something uniquely cinematic about romantic comedies — something that makes them a natural fit for the movies, and vice-versa. There's an intoxicating alchemy that allows us to believe in the magic of meet-cutes, happily-ever-afters, and all the agonizing contrivances that tend to pop up between the two. Love it seems gives storytellers permission to transpose the stuff of operas and fables into the fabric of real (or at least overly glossed but still recognizable) life. In that light, IndieWire's list of the Best Romantic Comedies of All Time is more of a start than a final statement; it's a living document that we'll change up and add to as time goes by. One thing that will stay the same, however, is that rom-coms have a recognizable grammar all their own; meet-cutes, montages, banter, a weird preponderance of journalists, sex scenes that always indicate a dark turn at the end of the second act. Here are the 82 best romantic comedies ever made." - indiewire.com
