Sweet Home Alabama gradually won me over with a slow burn that eventually ignited into a warm, entertaining narrative, blending humor with cultural clashes.

Bridget Jones’s Diary
The 50 Best Rom-Coms, Romantic Comedy Nathan Chandler 4/12/24 The 50 Best Rom-Coms, Romantic Comedy Nathan Chandler 4/12/24

Bridget Jones’s Diary

It took me a bit to settle into the vibe of Bridget Jones's Diary. I enjoyed seeing the twist of the main character in the genre, but I never completely invested in the love triangle that dominates this film.

Something felt off to me while watching My Best Friend's Wedding (yes, for the first time). I appreciated the story that it set out to tell, but tonally the pieces weren't fitting together.

The Wedding Singer
The 50 Best Rom-Coms, Romantic Comedy Nathan Chandler 3/7/24 The 50 Best Rom-Coms, Romantic Comedy Nathan Chandler 3/7/24

The Wedding Singer

Amazing soundtrack, cute leads, a screaming Sandler, cheap ‘80s references, quotable lines. What's not to love about The Wedding Singer?

You’ve Got Mail
The 50 Best Rom-Coms, Romantic Comedy Nathan Chandler 2/25/24 The 50 Best Rom-Coms, Romantic Comedy Nathan Chandler 2/25/24

You’ve Got Mail

How can you not get sucked into the charm and whimsy of 'You've Got Mail?' Like Kathleen Kelly's bookshop and the coffee shops these "nemesis" frequent, this film is completely warm and comfortable.

It's hard to rip into this movie too hard because there is so much '80s cheesiness to love about it.

Groundhog Day

How is it possible that a movie gets better and better each time I watch it when it is so purposely repeatable in its premise?

Knocked Up
The 50 Best Rom-Coms, Comedy Nathan Chandler 1/15/24 The 50 Best Rom-Coms, Comedy Nathan Chandler 1/15/24

Knocked Up

I loved Knocked Up when it was initially released and I had always held it as one of my favorites of Apatow, but I was surprised by my reaction this time around.

Love Actually has some high highs and some low lows, but I can't help but get wrapped up into Richard Curtis's world every time.
