Top 10 Favorite Rom Coms

I’ve always had a soft spot for romantic comedies. These films that ae filled with sparkling dialogue, winsome charm, and the slow, delicious build toward love. The ten films on this list are the ones I return to again and again. No matter how many times I’ve seen them, they still make me laugh out loud, swoon a little, and believe that love is worth the risk.

When I finally sat down and looked at my completed list, I noticed something I hadn’t planned at all: half of these films star Cary Grant. Completely unintentional… but not surprising. There’s something about his effortless wit and debonair presence that defines the golden age of romantic comedies for me. Apparently, my heart has a type. Tall, dark, suave and it wears a perfectly tailored suit. 

These films span six decades, from screwball comedies to ‘90s classics rewatches, but they all share sharp chemistry, unforgettable banter, and romances that feel both magical and grounded.

I’d love to know if you were making your own top ten, which romantic comedy would you refuse to leave off? And which one do you turn to when you need to fall in love with love all over again?
