Is there any genre more comforting and more cliche than romantic comedy? For decades, filmmakers have pushed onto audiences hilarious stories of love and romance. While some are ready to say “I do,” just as many are ready to say “I don’t.” But some romantic comedies can appeal to everyone - even those who claim to hate them.
While many rom-coms famously adhere to recurring tropes and conventions, some clever films play around with the formula to zig-zagging from expectations. Because these movies appeal to just about anyone, they make great options for people who maybe feel a little bit loveless and cold-hearted. Other rom-coms are considered towering classics for a reason: They defy the tropes they inspired to tell something insightful about modern love.
Whether you personally hate romantic comedies and want something different, or you’re a rom-com fiend trying to get someone else into the genre, here are 32 great romantic comedies to get haters to change their minds.
32. Just Friends (2005)
(Image credit: New Line Cinema)
Just Friends is far from the most offensive movie ever made. But this Ryan Reynolds-led rom-com is typical of the crass R-rated humor that permeated the mid-aughts, which is why it’s actually perfect for anyone sick of the clean sheen emblematic of the genre. Reynolds stars as Chris, a womanizing music executive in L.A. who returns home to New Jersey for the holidays and runs into his former high school crush Jamie (Amy Smart). No longer the overweight teenager he used to be, Chris hopes to win over Jamie, only to endure obnoxious obstacles in his way. While Just Friends squanders an enlightening message about the importance of being true to oneself, it’s still a laugh riot that makes the most of a then up-and-coming Ryan Reynolds.

28. I Love You, Man (2009)
(Image credit: DreamWorks Pictures)
Flipping romantic comedy conventions on its head, I Love You, Man follows a leading male who is all settled in his love life. It’s his friend life that needs help. Paul Rudd stars as newly engaged Peter whose fiance (Rashida Jones) reminds him that he doesn’t have anyone to be his best man. That all changes when Peter meets eccentric Sydney (Jason Segel). While the two begin to bond over Rush concerts and awkward nicknames, Peter finds that making friends is easy - it’s keeping them that is the real challenge. Less about romance than it is aboutbro-mance, I Love You, Man is the perfect comedy for platonic dudes.
27. The Break Up (2006)

26. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010)
(Image credit: Universal Pictures)
Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novels come to roaring life in Edgar Wright’s madcap 2010 film adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Michael Cera plays a 20-something bass player in Toronto who falls in love with multicolor hair enigma Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Before they can officially date, Scott must defeat her seven evil exes. A rollicking rom-com with an overstuffed cast (including Aubrey Plaza, Kieran Culkin, Anna Kendrick, Brie Larson, Jason Schwartzman, Mae Whitman, Chris Evans, and so many more), Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is peak pop culture brain rot drenched in affections for retro video games and indie rock. Beneath its millennial mania, there is a surprisingly enlightening message on the importance of self-respect before you can love someone else. It’s the only way to play the game.
25. Don Jon (2013)

24. Defending Your Life (1991)
(Image credit: Warner Bros.)
Writer, director, and star Albert Brooks plays Daniel Miller, a man who dies on his 39th birthday and awaits permanent sentencing at a luxury resort for newly deceased souls. During the week-long review of his life on Earth, Daniel meets the beautiful and effervescent Julia (Meryl Streep). Realizing that he may be “doomed” to return to Earth and redo his wasted life, Daniel fights to stay with Julia instead, who is certain is his soulmate. Essentially a much happier version of The Good Place, Defending Your Life is a heavenly rom-com that spices up the tired genre that finds new life in the afterlife.
23. Tammy and the T-Rex (1994)
(Image credit: Imperial Entertainment Corp.)
It looks like the kind of movie you’d find at the back of a cruddy VHS store - and indeed, Tammy and the T-Rex is not to be taken seriously. But for anyone looking for somethingreallydifferent out of their rom-coms, you can’t do better (or worse) than the midnight romp Tammy and the T-Rex. Denise Richards stars as a popular high school student whose boyfriend (Paul Walker, pre-Fast & Furious) is murdered and his brain implanted into an animatronic tyrannosaurus rex. Can young love truly defy all obstacles, or is it doomed to extinction? Find out in a movie that is pure dino-mite.
22. Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
(Image credit: Hollywood Pictures)
Growing up and revisiting your hometown is never easy. Even when you’re a slick assassin like Martin Blank. John Cusack stars in Grosse Pointe Blank as a hitman who returns to his hometown in Michigan for another hit job, the timing of which coincides with his tenth high school reunion. During a whirlwind weekend, Cusack’s professional killer starts to rethink his life while he reconnects with an old girlfriend (Minnie Driver) and evades a rival assassin (Dan Aykroyd). A razor-sharp Gen X movie that balances blistering action with rom-com fun, Grosse Point Blank hits the mark for anyone tired of other romantic comedies for feeling too safe.

20. City Lights (1931)
(Image credit: United Artists)
Do romantic comedies with deadened dialogue make you hate the entire genre? Try a silent movie! Charlie Chaplin’s silent masterpiece City Lights is as enchanting as it was when it first opened in 1931. The film stars Chaplin in his popular role as The Tramp, who falls for a blind flower girl (Virginia Cherrill) while navigating a turbulent friendship with a drunken millionaire. It may not have any of the hallmarks we associate with rom-coms today - like hilarious meet-cutes, fun jobs at magazines, and pop music needle drops - but that’s actually why the anti-rom-com crowd ought to seek it out. City Lights dazzles as a timeless diamond that never goes out of style.
19. Knight and Day (2010)
(Image credit: 20th Century Studios)
A perfect action rom-com if there ever was one, James Mangold’s genre hybrid from 2010 delights with a dynamite Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz together as its leading pair (and reuniting for the first time since 2001’s Vanilla Sky). Diaz plays a vintage car dealer who gets wrapped up with a secret agent (Cruise) who is on the run from the CIA. While Knight and Day isn’t one of Tom Cruise’s best movies, it’s an absolutely perfect date night movie, a movie that gives couples a balanced meal of action and romance in one sitting.
18. The Apartment (1960)
(Image credit: United Artists)
What if you had a sweet bachelor pad… that your boss used to hook up with your crush? It sounds like a nightmare, but Billy Wilder’s The Apartment is a joy. Released in 1960 with actors Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine, The Apartment follows a lowly insurance clerk named Bud (Lemmon) who invites senior executives to borrow his Upper West Side apartment for their extramarital affairs, all in the hope of climbing up the corporate ladder himself. Things get complicated when his own boss (Fred MacMurray) uses the apartment to sleep with Bud’s crush Fran (MacLaine). Is love really worth the cost of success? Billy Wilder explores this idea in his timeless rom-com that is still so brilliantly sharp even after all these years.
17. High Fidelity (2000)
(Image credit: Touchstone Pictures)
16. The Lobster (2015)
(Image credit: A24)
Nearly a decade before he made Poor Things, writer/director Yorgos Lanthimos explored the deadly urgency of looking for love in his fatalist romantic dramedy The Lobster. Colin Farrell plays a newly divorced man who submits himself to a hotel where he must find a suitable mate in 45 days, or else he’ll turn into an animal of his choice. Things take a turn when Farrell’s character ends up in a community that lives in the woods and prohibits intimacy - which is ironic because that’s where he falls for a short-sighted woman (Rachel Weisz). The Lobster is a strange movie indeed, one bespoke to Lanthimos' uncanny artistry. But past its quirks, The Lobster endures as an enlightening movie about our collective desperation to find the perfect partner in the unlikeliest places.
15. The Wedding Singer (1998)
(Image credit: New Line Cinema)
The Wedding Singer isn’t just one of Adam Sandler’s best movies, it’s also an excellent romantic comedy that gets everyone on the floor, even the wallflowers. Set in the 1980s, Sandler plays a professional wedding singer who, after being left at the altar of his own wedding, begins to fall for a beautiful waitress (Drew Barrymore) and sets out to stop her from getting married. While the movie has all the expected crass humor of a typical Sandler film - this was the same decade where he gave us Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, and Big Daddy - The Wedding Singer has a lot more range than it appears.
14. Your Name (2016)
(Image credit: Toho)
A body-switching romantic comedy with a cosmic twist, Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name is as playful as it is soulful, as effervescent as it is exceptional. When two teenagers in Japan find themselves waking up in each other’s bodies, the two work across great distances to communicate and figure out their surreal predicament. Without spoiling any more, the movie’s heart-stopping plot twist posits that even if our fates are written in the stars, we are still in control of our journeys ahead. Boasting awe-inspiring animation and a lively sense of humor, Your Name is a truly modern young adult romance that can make us all gaze at the stars.

10. Hit Man (2023)
(Image credit: Netflix)
Richard Linklater’s crowd-pleasing rom-com flexes its mighty muscles with Glen Powell and Adria Arjona, two drop-dead beautiful movie stars with mega-watt appeal who fall in love amid a complicated game of deception and identity. Powell plays a humble university professor who stumbles into a second job posing as a hitman for the New Orleans police. When he meets beautiful Madison (Arjona), who is in the market for a contract killer to eliminate her abusive husband, Powell’s Gary toes the line between love and the law. Hilarious and heartfelt, Hit Man hits its targets with precision.
9. Cashback (2006)
(Image credit: Magnolia Pictures)
Still healing from a breakup and dealing with the tedium of his night shift supermarket job, Ben (Sean Biggerstaff) discovers the power to freeze time and relish in the beauty of still life - and especially the female form. But while this discovery helps Ben heal from his ex-girlfriend, he begins to forge a deeper connection with quirky coworker Sharon (Emilia Fox). With philosophical musings on time and beauty, Cashback is far more introspective and thoughtful than other standard-issue romantic comedies.
8. Always Be My Maybe (2019)
(Image credit: Netflix)
Ever had a romance you felt was right, just notright now? That’s the tension underscoring Always Be My Maybe, a sharp, witty rom-com from 2019. When newly divorced celebrity chef Sasha (Ali Wong) opens a new restaurant in her Bay Area hometown, she reconnects with her childhood friend and teenage boyfriend Marcus (Randall Park). When the two find their chemistry hasn’t waned, they try to pursue something for real. This leaves Marcus to deal with his fears over his inadequacies, while Sasha wrestles with the overwhelming demands of her career. A muscular rom-com with a unique sense of identity steeped in the heritage of Asian Americans in San Francisco - not to mention an outrageous Keanu Reeves playing himself - Always Be My Maybe is a refreshing rom-com with throwback jams.

5. What’s Up, Doc? (1972)
(Image credit: Warner Bros.)
Ryan O’Neal, Madeline Kahn, and Barbara Streisand star in this lovely throwback to the screwball comedy era, with a healthy mix of delicious romance thrown in. O’Neal stars as Howard Bannister, a musicologist who travels to San Francisco for a conference with his fianceé (Kahn). Chaos ensues when he meets unpredictable Judy (Streisand), over instances of mistaken identities and lost luggage. Buoyant and lively with a crackerjack script (“I am not repeating myself, I am not repeating myself! Oh God, I’m repeating myself!"), What’s Up, Doc? is playful chaos that leaves even rom-com haters totally winded.
4. Crazy, Stupid, Love (2010)
(Image credit: Warner Bros.)
Just when it seemed like the Hollywood romantic comedy got stale, in came Crazy, Stupid, Love like a breath of fresh air. Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling co-lead this insightful picture about how much work love requires. Carrell plays Cal, a 40-something divorced family man who turns to Jacob Palmer (Gosling), a walking GQ magazine in human form, for advice on reentering the dating world. As Jacob coaches Cal, Jacob’s world turns upside down when he falls for fiery Hannah (Emma Stone), who is already closer to Jacob than he knows. There are many reasons to love Crazy, Stupid, Love, ranging from its cast to its sharp, hilarious script. But its intelligent take on love and relationships sets it head and shoulders above the rest.
3. They Came Together (2014)
(Image credit: Lionsgate)
What the R-rated Deadpool is to superhero movies, They Came Together is to the Hollywood rom-com. They Came Together stars Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler as a couple who recount their entire relationship to friends at dinner - a situation that quickly starts to look less like a pleasant night out and more like a hostage situation. An affectionate but brutal roast of the genre, They Came Together is like an SNL skit in feature-length form, brutally setting the romantic comedy ablaze while adoring the embers.
2. Palm Springs (2020)

1. Warm Bodies (2013)
(Image credit: Summit Entertainment)
At the height of zombie-mania, when shows like The Walking Dead was a TV ratings juggernaut, there came Jonathan Levine’s Warm Bodies. A delicious romantic comedy contained in the fleshy carcass of a zombie horror, the movie follows a self-aware zombie named “R” (Nicholas Hoult) who finds himself drawn to a human survivor (Teresa Palmer) after eating her boyfriend. If typical rom-coms feel too bloodless and decayed for your taste, let Warm Bodies make you feel alive again.
