The Most Beloved Romantic Comedies Ever Made

The Shop Around the Corner (1940)

Any romantic comedy with Jimmy Stewart in it is a guaranteed hit, but the plot for The Shop Around the Corner is fantastic. Two pen pals in Budapest have fallen in love with each other just through their words alone. In a fun twist, the pen pals turn out to be two co-workers who consistently feud with each other. They have no idea that they are actually writing to one another!

Notting Hill (1999)

Hugh Grant is rom-com gold, and don't forget it. His role in Notting Hill was just as good as the rest of his films. Grant plays Richard Curtis, a love-struck man chasing after movie star Anna Scott, played by Julia Roberts.
