My Top 10 Romantic Comedy Movies - Memorable Quotes and Songs

66

By Ign Andy

What makes good romantic comedy movies? Well, usually there are always be oh-so-adorable stars like (all-time-favorite) Meg Ryan. But they must be accompanied by: (1) Up-lifting, happy, and memorable movie ending, (2) smart dialogue and romantic script, (3) good memorable romantic songs - this also sometimes become a hit, (4) must bring some smile and laugh, (5) funny or crazy side-character(s), and (6) relate to our experiences.

These romantic comedy movies will make you want to watch these movies again and again since they give you warm funny feeling and please ..... don't expect any Oscar moment!

"Serendipity"

This is a movie about two strangers meet accidentally in a shopping mall, and one of them (Sara - Kate Beckinsale) believe in destiny and left their love to the hand of destiny (in a book actually). Now, one day before Jonathan's wedding, can destiny do something to make them together?

One of the most Kate Beckinsale charming character before she try to kill vampires.

Serendipity one of my most favorite romantic comedy ever
Serendipity one of my most favorite romantic comedy ever
  • "Ultimately Johnathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum", what we currently refer to as destiny."
  • "You know the Greeks didn't write obituaries. They only asked one question after a man died: Did he have passion?"

Side characters: Dean
Favorite song: "When You Know"


"There's Something about Mary"

The plot is nothing new: everybody loves Mary (Cameron Diaz), but for Ted (Ben Stiller), this girl is his first love and the only love. In the fierce and silly competition, can he survive?

This movie probably the funniest-best comedy from Farelly Brothers. A typical Ben Stiller comedy with a lot romantic touch and humor. Nominated for Best Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical in Golden Globe and Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical for Cameron Diaz.

Side characters: the dog (!!!) and Martha.

Favorite song: "Build Me up Buttercup" & songs played by the band.

"My Best Friend's Wedding"

In this movie, Julia is not the sweetheart. When Julianne (Julia Roberts) found out that her best friend's getting married, she realizes that she loves him. Can she stop the wedding?

This a good romantic comedy that make you smile, laugh, and probably cry (my girl friend did). In my opinion: if you haven't see this movie and already saw "Made of Honor", that the downgrade version of "My Best Friend's Wedding". One of the funniest Julia movies.

Memorable quote:

"Crème brûlée can never be Jell-O. YOU could never be Jell-O. " and "If you love someone you say it. You say it right then. Out loud. Or the moment just passes you by."

Side character: George

Favorite songs: "The Way You Look Tonight" and "I Say A Little Prayer"

"Wedding Singer"

his the first Adam Sandler movie that make a hit, many people feel irritated with his movie, some find its very annoying. But in this movie he is undeniably very good, so good that probably you want to be his friends.

Robbie (Adam Sandler) is a broken-hearted wedding singer. He met Julia (again!), played by Drew Barrymore, an ordinary girl attached to a typical wrong man. And then you can imagine what will happen.

Side character: Rosie
Memorable quotes and songs: in the songs of "Somebody Kill Me", and "Grow Old with You"


"Love Actually"

It's not 100% romantic comedy, since it has several parallel stories and all about love, such like definition of love. Full of great British actors: Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Kiera Knightly, and Bill Nighy. This movie is specially made for Christmas occasion.

Memorable quote: "Tell her that you love her. You've got nothing to lose, and you'll always regret it if you don't."
Favorite song: "Christmas is All Around"


"Notting Hiil"

This movie about an famous actress Anna (Julia Roberts) fall in love with an ordinary guy William (Hugh Grant) a shop owner in Notting Hill.

"Notting Hill" is an extremely charming film with so much love to offer. Nominated for 3 Golden Globes. Great British country setting, smart dialogue, and so many funny moments.

Memorable quote: "I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."
Side character: Spike
Favorite song: "When You Say Nothing at all", "She"

Two Week Notice

An independent, active, and smart woman, Lucy (Sandra Bullock), works for ignorant billionaire George Wade (Hugh Grant), a typical billionaire who think many can buy everything. Well, although the movie doesn't bring you many romantic moments, it's funny to see how these two different characters fall in love.

Memorable quote: "Before you came into my life I could make all kinds of decisions now I'm addicted I have to know what you think. What do you think?".

Memorable songs: "The Look of Love" & "Come Fly with Me"

"Bridget Jones’s Diary"

Bridget (Renee Zellweger) have found her loved one on Daniel, her boss. But, there's also this mysterious and cold Mr. Darcy (Colin Firth) who seems always in her life.

A very funny with a sharp dialogue romantic comedy movie. Great acting by Renee and in this movie Renee got a lot body weight for his character.

Memorable quote: "Now, I'll go home and... de-bunny."
Favorite songs: "It's Raining Men" & "All By Myself"


"When Harry Met Sally"

Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan is superb in this movie and I believe this is one of the best Meg Ryan and funniest movies. A story about a two best friends search for love and finally a close friendship blooms between them, and they both like having a friend of the opposite sex. One of the most enjoyable, funny, smart, romantic comedy.

Side character: Harry Burns and Sally – these about those two.
Memorable quote:

  • “I'll have what she's having” after Sally fake orgasm.
  • “I've been doing a lot of thinking, and the thing is, I love you.”

When I saw the title of this hub I immediately thought of "You've Got Mail" and "Pretty Woman", neither of which is on your list. But the ones on the list are fantastic too. As you said, it is hard to choose just 10.

"While You Were Sleeping" is also great. Just watch for the short 10 second clip with the paperboy about half way through 8=) I nearly peed my pants the first time I saw it!

I LOVE romantic comedies and romance in general...sadly, both of which I get far too little of in my life nowadays. I enjoyed this hub and love the quote from Serendipity. I love PASSION and a life filled with passion. Without that...well, it gets pretty bland, doesn't it? Thank goodness for hubpages-my new passion. BTW-When H. met S is by far one of my (if not THE) favorite r.c. movies. I've seen it so many times yet watching it is like seeing it for the first time. Thanks for the great list and for visiting my site.
