(500) Days of Summer, Moonstruck, Before Sunset, and more
Illustration: By Stevie Remsberg By now, you might want a break from baking bread or doing puzzles. So why not attempt a few hours of escapism by throwing on a cozy pair of sweatpants and cueing up a rom-com instead? Whether you want to cry your way through a box of Kleenex or take comfort in your favorite love stories, you’ll find something worth watching on the list of our favorite romantic comedies, below.
Long Shot It’s possible you still haven’t seen Long Shot, the best romantic comedy of 2019. Why are you waiting? Are you saving it for a special occasion? If so, I suggest forgoing that plan and just watching it now. You deserve it! The movie stars Charlize Theron as the United States secretary of State and Seth Rogen as a left-leaning Brooklyn journalist who becomes her speechwriter, and I know that might not sound convincing, but I promise that you will like it.
The Meddler My favorite feel-good rom-com is 2015’s The Meddler, starring Susan Sarandon and Rose Byrne. It’s great for so many reasons: the central romance is late middle-aged and accordingly complicated, and Sarandon’s pitch-perfect mom voice-mails kill me every time. It’s so funny and so sweet and not enough people have seen it. —Katie Heaney, senior writer
Chungking Express Most people probably wouldn’t classify Chungking Express, the high-energy 1994 film by Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai, as a rom-com, but it certainly has the necessary elements . Sure, it may not feature a bumbling, toothy Hugh Grant, but Chungking Express — which has a bifurcated structure, centering on two heartbroken men — is certainly more realistic. —Amanda Arnold, writer
The Apartment This film is more like a satirical dramedy than traditional rom-com, but its a near-perfect romance. It begins with a somewhat sleazy setup to get ahead at work. Bud lends his apartment to company higher-ups for their affairs, which leads to him meeting Fran and voilà. I won’t say more, but if you like Billy Wilder movies, gin rummy, and commentary on corporate lemmings, watch this film.
