10 Things I Hate About You
It's hard not to watch 10 Things I Hate About You with a smile on your face. It has an even balance of a rom-com and a coming of age tale, and when done correctly, is a formula that can easily appeal to a mass audience.
(500) Days of Summer
(500) Days of Summer perfectly encapsulates how twenty-somethings view and contextualize romance.
She’s the Man
I have to hand it to She's the Man. The movie commits. I feel as if the cast and crew knew how ridiculous the premise and plot of this movie was and they knew their best defense was to go full throttle.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Everyone has gone through a devastating break-up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall perfectly encapsulates the feelings of jealousy, confusion and acceptance that come with such a monumental event.
27 Dresses
27 Dresses is by no means the greatest movie ever or even the greatest rom-com for that matter, but it's a pure, simple, enjoyable watch.

Crazy, Stupid, Love. is a wonderful film to wrap around yourself. It's deeper and more complex than most rom-coms that you come across.

I hadn't seen Never Been Kissed since high school and I think I should have left it at that.
The Princess Bride

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Just as Andie Anderson slowly wears down Ben Berry into loving her, over the years I have started to like this movie more and more.
