Hey! Just wondering if you could suggest some romantic/rom-com movies💖
Have a great day❤️🌼
Oh my goodness, I certainly can!! Thank you, bby! 💖💖
10 of my favorite romantic comedies:
(In no particular order.)
1. 10 Things I Hate About You
An absolute perfect movie. Dialogue, casting, story, romance, Heath Ledger, Shakespeare references, what more could a literary inclined girl want?
2. A Cinderella Story
Another gift from the early 2000s. Is it cheesy? Sometimes. Is it adorable? Absolutely.
3. He's Just Not That Into You
Hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, ensemble cast, but the endings for each couple are undoubtedly satisfying. Plus, my favorite rewind moment of all time:
4. Crazy, Stupid Love
Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Steve Carrell, Josh Groban cameo. Need I say more? (But it will also unexpectedly grip your heart with profound, tender moments.)
5. While You Were Sleeping
One of my favorite Sandra Bullock rom coms, of which there are many. (Honorary mentions: The Proposal, Practical Magic, Two Weeks Notice, and Miss Congeniality, though it's not really a rom com is one of my favorite movies in existence.)
6. You've Got Mail
A classic of classics in rom com history. Meg Ryan at her best, Tom Hanks at his. She's a small, independent bookstore owner. He's essentially Barnes & Noble, coming in to disrupt New York with corporate America.
7. Mrs. Winterbourne
A forgotten '90s Brendan Fraser must-see movie. He's the "rich playboy" type, she's scrappy and resourceful, pregnant by her deadbeat ex-boyfriend, and pretending to be the widow of Fraser's twin brother, who recently died in a train accident.
8. Crazy Rich Asians
Based on a book, top-tier casting, bad ass mother-in-law, bad ass heroine, a classy, handsome, Good Man™️ hero? Sign me TF up.
9. 13 Going on 30
Easily Jennifer Garner's best movie, but also Mark freakin' Ruffalo. They're adorable together, and this one's a classic in its own right, full of heart, back-stabbing bitches, and 80s music references.
10. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
It's one of the best, folks. Also one of the most quotable movies in movie history lol. As a kid, I remember really identifying with Toula, who feels too plain, too big, too "frump girl."
But Ian never saw her that way. He genuinely laughs at her jokes. He's patient with her and sees her beauty, inside and out. He also deals with a lot of crap from her family in order to be with her, with all the grace and gentlemanly poise a guy could have.
And Toula learns to love herself, fall in love for the first time, and challenges every expectation of her family to do so.
I have many, many more, but these are just a few of my favorites. What's yours?
Don't see it on this list? Drop it in the comments! 💋

I watched these films when I was an impressionable teenager and now I have an unrealistic and borderline delusional view of love
About Last Night (1986) dir. Edward Zwick
Quote: “You don't know what love is. You've gotten everything you have always wanted and now you're feeling sorry for yourself because there's something you want and you can't have it. But you had it! I gave you love. But you asked me to leave and I left.”
Pretty Woman (1991) dir. Garry Marshall
Quote: “I'd really like you to stay. I don't want to be alone tonight.”
Ever After (1998) dir. Andy Tennant
Quote: “And we, Princess, are supposed to live happily ever after.”
Dance With Me (1998) dir. Randa Haines
Quote: “I don't wanna be in love.”
You’ve Got Mail (1998) dir. Nora Ephron
Quote: “Kevin, this woman is the most adorable creature I've ever been in contact with, and if she turns out even to be as good-looking as a mailbox, I'd be crazy not to turn my life upside down and marry her”
Someone Like You (2001) dir. Tony Goldwyn
Quote: “I know it hurts. I know. It's so hard to believe that something that wonderful can ever happen to us again, but it can.”
My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) dir. Joel Zwick
Quote: “I came alive when I met you.”
Maid in Manhattan (2002) dir. Wayne Wang
Quote: “No, honey. It's more like a dream, you know? And for one night, you're living it for all of us. Don't think about tomorrow. Don't think about anything but tonight. Tonight, the maid is a lie. And this, this is who you really are.”
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) dir. Donald Petrie
Quote: “You can't lose something you never had.”
The Last Song (2010) dir. Julie Anne Robinson

Rita Wilson, Star Magazine, April 1973
Before she became an actress and married movie star Tom Hanks, Rita grew up in the heart of Hollywood and regularly frequented the Sunset Strip as a teen with fellow LA kids Lance Loud, Melanie Griffith and Mackenzie Phillips in the early/mid-1970s.

Ok let's talk about My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 and the fact that there's amazing NB representation in it. Please go see the movie!
And while you're at it watch the first 2 also because there's not a lot of good Greek representation in Hollywood movies and also the first one is BASICALLY the story of my moms life. The family connections are beautiful, the closeness, the fighting, the yearning, the acceptance, the convelutedness, how there's only 3 names for everyone, and just the everyone in everyone's business. It's how I grew up and its so beautiful to see that story told on screen and to look at it and see my own family.
It's fantastic and it's my family. And the NB representation and acceptance in the 3rd is so lovely
