Man, You said Top 10 but i decided to do you more better, simply because The Rom Com genre is such a peculiar genre, that can encompass other sub genre within it, that it will be difficult to just narrow it to just 10. I have seen a sci-fi rom com, i have seen a comic rom com, i have seen a time travelling rom com, heck I have even seen Keanu Reeves during this his current long hair John Wick persona, drop all the bravado and gun, and loved up...

So i have curated this list to have a little of all the goodness the genre has to offer, threw in "When Harry met Sally" (1989) for good measure because it is the progenitor of modern rom com. and i know you also said "Hollywood", but i threw in some British rom com too cuz they were simply too good to ignore....

Enjoy...

I'm not a fan of that genre so I rarely watch 'em. It's mainly cos of some of my fave actors that's the reason I'm slowly warming up to the genre recently.

Terrible year for movies then because like 5 movies on this list are so bottom tier.

And Civil war? Except you are a Trump MAGA enthusiast, the movie was so relatively mid. They had a story, but they found the most boring way to tell it. The worst A24 flick i have seen in awhile.

lmao...My bro, it seems you don't see a lot of Rom Coms do you? because i could literally name like 100 off the top of my head, better than this.

The writing was average issh as the storyline has been done over and over again in the Rom Com lore, it's like one of the favourite storyline and i have even seen a better retelling of this story line.

The solid acting is with a huge asterisk as it was only the Glen Powell fella that did well, as for Sydney Sweeney, the babe can't act to save her life, and it's just her perceived sèx appeal that she has going for her, and infact, it's because of that latter, the movie shot up to the very top of pop culture popularity when it came out, because pre puberty boys with teenage fetishes couldn't just stop drooling over the chance to see her in a romantic/erotic role.

You are spot on about the song choices, absolutely top tier...."Anyone but you" by Still Woozy is a total banger

The average ratings of the movie says it all tbh.

I rarely watch rom-coms. That Still Woozy original song is a darn good banger. Was on repeat for 3 days straight.

I don't think rom-coms are close to any genre off my priority list to check up. Yeah, I know The Fall Guy is a rom-com. Downloaded over a month ago. Main reason is cos of Gosling and Blunt.

I enjoy them once in a while. Not a staple of my flicks or something I'll lose sleep over. In fact, it's a genre I purposely ignored over the years. Once I see rom-com in the genre, I walk unless there's a few actors I really like and want to see.
I watch probably just one or two rom-coms a year. It's probably last year the numbers and interest grew. Still not something I'd be willing to dive back the years for.

Here are the few ones I remember watching.

The Lost City
She Came To Me
No Hard Feelings
Bottoms
Pitch Perfect trilogy
Crazy Rich Asians (the overall best I've watched, always wondered why WB are taking ages with the sequel)

The Watcher

I enjoyed it. The storyline of Fairies and Humans, twas good.

actually, MAGA supporters hate the movie because it didn't choose sides. I actually love the movie in my opinion, the tension was cloverfield-esque and since it was connected to what i do, i found it compelling

Partners is about a difficult situation when a wife becomes the bread winner; the pains and the plot.
