*Grabs popcorn*

1. My Best Friend’s Wedding

You don’t need a reason to watch a Julie Roberts movie, right? Anyway, this movie also offers you numerous other motivations. Though you know she is doing something wrong, it’s impossible for you not to empathize with Julianne (Roberts), when she finds out that she is in love with Michael (Dermot Mulroney) who is tying the knot with Kimberly (Cameron Diaz). The lengths that she goes to ruin the wedding, will keep you glued to the screen!

2. It’s Complicated

A couple reignite their relationship (read: have sex!) while attending their youngest son’s graduation. Why is it complicated? Well, they are divorced, and the guy is remarried!! Why should you watch it? Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. Enough said!

3. Bridget Jones’ Diary

While we cannot wait for ‘Bridget Jones’ Baby,’ the original will always be one among our best rom com movies. Renée Zellweger’s Bridget has feelings for her boss, who is a pr*ck to be very honest, but right then, Mark, who is an adorably awkward family friend, walks in! Scene to die for: The hilarious street fight (of sorts) between Colin Firth and Hugh Grant!

4. Pretty Woman

Julia Robert’s antics in this masterpiece is what makes it a must watch rom com! What happens when the prince climbs the stairs and rescues the princess? “She rescues him right back.”

5. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

This one’s based on William Shakespeare’s, “The Taming of the Shrew”. Can there be anything sexier than Heath Ledger waltzing on, “I can’t take my eyes of you”? As the name suggests, this is the quirkiest love story ever!

6. 50 First Dates (2004)

In spite of Lucy’s short-term memory, Henry does everything he can to have a normal relationship with her. Filmed in Oahu, 50 First Dates is an imperfectly perfect romance, making it one of the 12 best rom com movies!
