10. Notting Hill (1999)
A shy London bookshop owner falls for a world-famous actress, proving that love can be both awkward and extraordinary. Sweet, sincere, and endlessly quotable.
9. Sleepless in Seattle (1993)

7. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)
Two people secretly sabotage each other for work—only to fall in love along the way. Bold, silly, and iconic in its own unapologetic way.

Interwoven love stories unfold in the lead-up to Christmas. Messy, warm, and deeply human, it celebrates love in all its forms.
2. She's the Man (2006)

1. Knocked Up (2007)
A one-night stand turns into an unexpected journey toward adulthood. Honest, funny, and refreshingly imperfect, it tops the list with modern rom com energy.
