I wonder if Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis ever joke about how they've both kissed Natalie Portman on screen for a role?

[@DavidZ4-gg3dm]

In real life, the friendzone is very difficult to escape.

[@trinaq]

It really is, and childhood friends ending up married as adults is less common than films would have you believe.

[@JSulikowska]

@@trinaq I think friends to lovers is better when pepole meet in their teens or as adulth. Childhood friends to lovers could have siblings vibe

[@TheNutshaq]

I married my best friend, it’s easier than you think it is

[@Uncle_Smidge]

The Friend Zone is something entitled whiners invented to feel like victims by having someone like them as, gasp, a platonic entity. Did they Friend Zone you, or are you Fuck-Zoning *them*?

[@Shebeast3]

always be my maybe is so brilliantly written and acted

[@maya-uq5md]

indeed so, comfort film

[@samuelcollantes1175]

Simba and Nala. Happy sunday, Rebecca, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.

[@olleselin]

Simba and Nala should've definetly been #1

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Bébé Nora and Bébé Hae-sung WERE JUST SO GOOD! The story behind the casting is so cute too.

[@duaawaseem8964]

Each of these movies prove men and women cant be close friends without proper boundaries

[@monicastricker3582]

Most of my friends are guys. As mature adults we have no issues with being platonic friends.

[@IOAFan]

Every time you do one of these "Friends to Lovers" lists, I'm usually disappointed because "Empire Records" and "Some Kind of Wonderful" aren't included. This time you got it right! I also loved seeing "What If" on the list.

[@lostgirlcosplay14]

No Jamal and Latika from Slumdog Millionaire?!

[@eugeniapatroncosta920]

My favourites are: 4.-Simba and Nala. 3.-Forrest and Jenny. 2.-Jenna and Matt. 1.-Ron and Hermione.

[@NickCC23]

"No Strings Attached": Ashton Kutcher "Friends With Benefits": Mila Kunis. Interesting (and it's basically the same movie)

[@chelseacanales8763]

One day, you two will be married Ew! Yuck! I can’t marry her, she’s my friend Yeah, it would be so weird Me: aww. Simba and Nala; you say that now, but you’ll be head over heels with each other ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I know that enemies to lovers and love at first sight seem more popular and stereotypical for romance movies but for me my favorite romance trope is definitely friends to lovers. Having an already established and good relationship before you become romantic seem much more healthy and better in the long run than most other romantic tropes. And I know that it still doesn’t happen in real life all the time where people are friends for years or at least a while and then they start a romantic relationship but to me that just seems so much better than any other romantic trope. As well as healthier. If you guys already care about each other, help each other trust each other I just have always thought that would be better in the long run

[@diamondstuddedpunchingbag4718]

"Always be my Maybe" is my favorite modern rom-com!!

[@annafowdy]

I thought Poppy and Branch would be here.

[@CatradoraAppleDashisawesome]

Yea. Poppy and Branch should be in here

[@Rbel84]

Carl & Ellie only in no. 27?!

[@eswarnimmala4404]

They deserve the Universe🙌

[@CatradoraAppleDashisawesome]

What about Poppy and Branch?

[@Animeguy300]

Ron x Hermione forever

[@waittillfamewtf2385]

Isabelle & Hugo - "Hugo" (2011)

[@sockygaldamez9492]

My favourites are Will & Layla, Wesley & Bianca, Jaime & Chris, Pete & Rosalee, Forrest & Jenny, Simba & Nala and Ellie and Carl 🩷🩷

[@Zephic]

Can’t believe I’m missing 8 of these. I have work to do.

[@maryokeeffe6604]

I’m glad Will and Layla were 30 on the top 30 list. I feel like they’re going to break up when Sky High 2 comes around. Layla is better off with Warren, he’s cute outside and inside.

[@Shebeast3]

loving that skyhigh got on the list i love that film

[@JSulikowska]

Unpopular but I think Hermione should be with Harry or Draco. I think Ron and Hermione woudn’t be happy together. Even Rowling said Ronmione woudn’t be happy married

[@saimcheeda93]

Why Draco? He was a racist and bully who even wished for her death

[@evaggelia-stylida]

I agree. I can see hermione with either harry or maybe one of the twins

[@bries285]

I agree I can definitely see Harry and Hermione being a thing I wish they were

[@fangsbites]

I am definitely the duff to all of my friends. Me being ugly definitely makes my friends feel better about themselves.

[@tristankingcooldudewhite8392]

[@Omar-wq9dz]

When Harry Met Sally would have been strange had the original ending been used where they go their separate ways

[@trinaq]

Agreed, though both Rob Reiner and Nora Ephron thought that it would be more heartwarming if they actually got together, after all they'd been through.

[@bryanmixer6248]

Look for the "Funny or Die" short where Rob Reiner and Billy Crystal pitch "WHMS2" to a studio exec, who keep giving "notes" based on what is paying off at the Box Office today....

[@samkresil6011]

Hopefully we'll get to see Eggsy and Roxy express feelings for each other when they decide to bring back Roxy for Kingsman 3

[@NickCC23]

Debbie and Peter "Your Place or Mine"

[@quieracollins5127]

One day is the best

[@samkresil6011]

[@NickCC23]

"Some Kind of Wonderful" is basically a gender flipping rewrite of "Pretty in Pink" (with Ducky/Watts getting the girl/guy)

[@zamyafields6513]

[@audreemaurice4899]

So Derek and Owen fight for the same girl in a alternative universe that’s freaking weird 😂😂😂

[@Tee84]

Why does the 2 characters in Sky high look like a younger version of Ryand Gosling and Maria Cross

[@savyxxr]

Id argue that the forrest gump and jenny should be lower in the list

[@user-rq4yh7tu7x]

Valentina Zenere Rigguro

[@Jounin64]

❤

[@mimidoodle58]

I don't care about watching a WMAF movie called Past Lives. The plot is messed up as hell.

[@evaggelia-stylida]

What do the letters WMAF mean?

[@Aaron17988]

Dislike
