Some romantic comedy movies not to be missed

four weddings

Love reaches everywhere. When it comes to romantic comedy movies, each viewer attends the films in a certain way. Love is subjective and a scene that could be very sentimental for some people, for others it can be a display of cheap sentimentality. There are a wide range of sensitivities.

Among the different film genres, love blends seamlessly with most of them. It is a necessity in human beings, and it is not easy to find a movie in which there is no love.

While the good weather and summer arrive, now are movie days, blanket and popcorn, in front of the fireplace. Or better yet, go to our favorite movie theater to see a good premiere.

Love Actually (2003)

A series of very different stories take place around Christmas time in London. In all of them, love is the protagonist. There are different types of characters: a prime minister (played by Hugh Grant), an old rock star, a Portuguese maid who only speaks his language, etc. They are different ways of looking at love.

A romantic comedy set in the Christmas atmosphere, but shot with exquisite taste. A movie to revisit.

Bridget Jones's Diary, 2001

With Renee Zellweger and Hugh Grant, among others. It's the Bridget Jones story, a single thirty-year-old full of complexes, with a poor love life. In your life there are two priority goals: meet the love of your life and lose weight. To get a good motivation, keep a journal. However, your love life is about to change, and you will have to choose between two very different suitors.

Bridget

Renee Zellweger had an Oscar nomination for best actress in this lighthearted and entertaining adaptation of Helen Fielding's best-seller, which was a major box office success.

Pretty Woman, 1990

With Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. A handsome millionaire, Edwarg Lewis, hire a prostitute for a nice night during a business trip. After spending the first night with her, Edward wants Vivian to accompany him to his social events for a week. Love will do the rest.

Julia Roberts had a Oscar nomination for best actress. A fairy tale with the most beautiful Roxette music. The film is still a modern version of the Cinderella tale, a combination of smiles and sighs of love that was a resounding success at the box office around the world. The leading couple rose to prominence with this film (although afterwards they made all kinds of comments on those roles).

Nottinghill, 1999

Again we have Julia Roberts and also Hugh Grant in another sample of the best romantic comedy movies. In his argument, the owner of a small bookstore, William, one day meets the most famous actress of the moment, Anna Scott. At that moment, their lives, especially William's, begins to change.

Another big blockbuster with very funny scenes, a good choice of the main couple and the secondary characters.

The Apartment, 1960

With Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine and Frec MacMurray, among others. Baxter (Lemmon) is a modest and ambitious employee in an insurance company. Since he is single, he lives in a small apartment that his superiors often borrow from him for their love dates. Although he is hoping to advance professionally for these favors, when falls in love with an elevator operator (MacLaine), everything changes completely.

The movie had nothing less than five Oscars and three golden globes. A Billy Wilder masterpiece.

Four weddings and a funeral, 1994

With Hugh Grant and Andie Macdowell. Charles is concerned about his personal and emotional situation. Most of his friends have already married, but he doesn't even have a girlfriend to plan anything with. Invited to a wedding, there he meets Carrie (Andie Macdowell), an American with whom he falls in love at first sight. At the next wedding, Carrie shows up with her fiancé. But Charles wants to change the situation ...

Another sample of the best romantic comedy movies, which had two Oscar nominations. An English production with clever humorous strokes, its peculiar characters, which had an overwhelming success at the box office.

Something About Mary, 1998

With Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller and Matt Dillon, among others. Ted has been in love all his life, for as long as he can remember, with Mary Jensen, the girl of his dreams and the dreams of many others.

A comedy of humor, little refined for many, that swept the box office.

The beast of my girl, 1938

With Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, directed by Howard Hawks. A shy and clueless paleontology expert (Grant) works on a dinosaur skeleton, and has wedding plans with his secretary. However, when he meets Susan Cande (Hepbunr), everything changes. The two plans he had will not come to an end.

A masterpiece of cinema, which transforms everyday, everyday situations into a hilarious crossroads of feelings.

Chocolate, 2000

With Juliette Binoche, Johnny Depp and Judi Dench. Two outsiders arrive in Lasnquenet, a French town with very traditional concepts: Vianne Rocher (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter Anouk (Victoire Thivisol).

Chocolat

The reason for the arrival of both is the opening of a chocolate shop full of sweets capable of awakening the hidden appetites of the villagers.

The movie had five Oscar nominations. It is a delicious and suggestive fairy tale with chocolate as an inspiring element.

Irma the sweet, 1963

With Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. Lemmon is a law enforcement officer arresting a prostitute in the course of a raid. In love with her, he will be able to quit his job and become the neighborhood bully. The girl considers him her new "pimp."
