Rom-coms combine the best of both worlds: love and laughter. So when we set out to find the best romantic comedies of all time, there were dozens of beloved rom-coms to choose from. From Meg Ryan classics like Sleepless in Seattle and When Harry Met Sally to newer flicks like Crazy Rich Asians and Palm Springs, rom-coms have been around for decades (or even centuries, according to some experts who consider Shakespeare plays some of the best romantic comedies), so to come up with our own list of the best romantic comedies was no easy feat.

But what makes a rom-com? Well, it’s more than a funny romance movie or a comedy film with love. (Though, of course, those are necessary ingredients to the best romantic comedies.) For the most part, rom-coms have a “meet cute” where the leads meet in an unconventional way. (Take You’ve Got Mail, for example, where Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks’ characters meet online, unaware that they hate each other in real life.) Of course, not all of the best romantic comedies start with the meet cute. (Crazy Rich Asians is a good example of a rom-com that starts in the middle of a serious relationship.) But for the most part, meet-cutes—as well as the grand finale kiss—are expectations that viewers have of the best romantic comedies.

So if you’re in the mood for some love and laughs, check out our list of the best romantic comedies ahead and embark on your next rom-com binge.

Palm Springs (2020)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpBLtXduh_k?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent

Palm Springs, which premiered Hulu, stars Andy Samberg and Cristina Milioti as two wedding guests who become stuck in a Ground Hog’s Day-like time loop. Milloti plays Sarah, the sister of the bride, while Samberg plays Nyles, the boyfriend of one of the bridesmaids. The film follows Sarah and Nyles as they try to find a way to escape the time loop—and fall in love in the process.

Crazy Rich Asians (2018)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ-YX-5bAs0?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent

Crazy Rich Asians, based on Kevin Kwan’s novel of the same title, was one of the best romantic comedies of 2018. The film stars Constance Wu as a Chinese-American woman named Rachel who travels to Singapore for her boyfriend’s best friend’s wedding.

When we think of the best romantic comedies, When Harry Met Sally always comes to mind. The film stars Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal as two people who meet via chance encounters for 12 years.

Meg Ryan ruled the ’90s rom-coms, so it’s no surprise that three of her movies are on this list of the best romantic comedies. Sleepless in Seattle stars Tom Hanks as Sam, a single father to a 8-year-old son who lost his wife to cancer. One day, Sam’s son calls a local radio station and persuades his father to tell his story on the radio.

After Sleepless in Seattle, Hanks and Ryan returned with another best romantic comedy, You’ve Got Mail. The film stars Hanks as Joe, a the executive of a mega bookstore chain that tries to run out an independent bookstore owned by Kathleen (Ryan.) The two hate each other in real life, but unbeknownst to them, they’ve been chatting anonymously with each other online and start to develop feelings for one another. You can only imagine what happens when they meet each other in real life.
