The 50 Greatest Romantic Comedies of All Time

Ten movie critics from Indiewire have constructed another movie list we can all argue over. What makes a great romantic comedy is a matter of opinion, as some feel the laughs matter more than the romance, or vice versa. Some of the movies really stretch the definition of "romantic comedy." It includes Bend It Like Beckham, which is a sports buddy movie, contains hardly any comedy, and just barely features a romance. Conversely, Coming to America, a hilarious movie centered around a romance, is not on the list, but is dismissed as an "urban fantasy." I might have more quibbles, but I haven't seen many of these movies. Check out the ranked list of 50 romantic comedies and feel your blood boil at Indiewire.


Well - my blood boiled as soon as I opened the story - elsewhere. Your link opens at the end with #1. So I'm gonna ruin it in reverse for everyone with #50: Love Actually. Love Actually is in the Top 5. As is aptly proven by some of the boneheaded clunkers in between. But I was impressed with the number of B&W classics that made the list.
