Is there any genre more comforting and more cliche than romantic comedy? For decades, filmmakers have pushed onto audiences hilarious stories of love and romance. While some are ready to say "I do," just as many are ready to say "I don't." But some romantic comedies can appeal to everyone - even those who claim to hate them.
While many rom-coms famously adhere to recurring tropes and conventions, some clever films play around with the formula to zig-zagging from expectations. Because these movies appeal to just about anyone, they make great options for people who maybe feel a little bit loveless and cold-hearted. Other rom-coms are considered towering classics for a reason: They defy the tropes they inspired to tell something insightful about modern love.
