What are the 100 most romantic movies of all time? To find out we asked 101 experts for their top ten romantic films. These are people who know romance, from ‘The Notebook’ author Nicholas Sparks to ‘Notting Hill’ director Richard Curtis and ‘Downton Abbey’ star Joanne Froggatt. We’ve crunched the numbers and here’s the final list, from 100 down to one.
As a genre, the romantic comedy has had pretty sharply defined highs (the 1940s and 1980s) and lows (1990s-2000s) based on viewer appetite and studio competence, but thanks to this thing we call “the human condition,” hope-laden fables showing how two people can, indeed, find and cherish one another despite all obstacles will never stay out of fashion long—no matter how soulless and cynical the industry. Whether because we are young and naïve, not-so-young and searching, or old and grumpy with a soft spot (or wistful memory), there’s always an appetite for fascinating meet-cutes, resolved comedies of errors and melted gruff exteriors. So no matter your particular poison when it comes to scripted takes on love and relationships, let Paste’s list of the 100 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time provide you just what the doctor ordered.
