[@Jubilee3011]

I have seen Kate & Leopold and I have heard of About Time

[@arielfangirlmendez]

Probably addicted to love from 1996 and yep I seen this movie on tape

[@DFlores-r4g]

Seen a few but already added a couple to my list. Standby is a cute little under the radar romcom, with a bit of Before Sunrise vibe to it. Except the characters did meet before. Is there a MsMojo list for walking & talking romance movies? Before Trilogy obviously, Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong, Before We Go, Standby...

[@ginahouston9352]

Love Jones, The T Abt Cs & Ds, What’s Up, Doc?, Kate & Leopold, Just Wright, The Wedding Banquet 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@trinaq]

Thanks for giving some love to "Paperback Hero" and "Kate and Leopold." Hugh Jackman is undeniably charismatic, and one of my favourite leading men.

[@kkpenney444]

Too bad he's an absolute garbage human being irl.

[@Oble_Noceda]

Kate and Leopold had its problems but i actually liked the concept and most of it was very well executed. Props to Liev Schreiber btw

[@Ninaofthe90s]

I've always been in love with Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Leopold. 😍

[@NiGiff]

Right? It's a terrific movie. How can they say people haven't heard of it? Not only does it star Jackman, Meg Ryan and Liev Schrieber, but it's also directed by James Mangold. It's so good!

[@Disney65Fan]

@@NiGiff Agree. I have it on DVD and Bluray.

[@moriahw3947]

that movie has flaws but Hugh Jackman is NOT one of them!!! it may have influenced my decision to marry a HJ lookalike!!

[@lisab7977]

If the scene near the end in “About Time” between father and son doesn’t make you cry, you have a heart of stone! 😢

[@eva44940]

missing "One Fine Day" with George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer. Excellent rom-com that is completely underrated cause it premiered at the time of Jerry Macguire

[@pattischult9401]

"Mrs. Winterbourne", "The Cutting Edge", and "Kate & Leopold" have been favorites for years!!

[@gailsali932]

yes indeed

[@whatintheheck4692]

I love Mrs Winterbourne!

[@lynnevetter]

Anyone remember Only You with Marissa Tomei and RDJ? Love this one, but I never hear anyone chat about it.

[@anna-mariageorgiades3628]

Yes many people do

[@dlross173]

Love that movie! It's what got me to Italy for the first time. I saw that movie and about 3 months later, I was on Alitalia crossing the Atlantic on my way to Milano for my first of many trips there.

[@kelliehorn1082]

That movie is a WILD ride. #damonbradley

[@whatintheheck4692]

One of my favs. The kissing chemistry is fantastic!

[@Oble_Noceda]

It's a bit more iconic than all of the movies on the list, so... Also yeah i like it a fair bit

[@bennywark3103]

There's also Fool's Rush In, with Mathew Perry and Selma Hayek. Which is a fun underrated rom com centered around an unplanned pregnancy.

[@Zzzsleepzzz]

Yes!

[@theresascott3947]

Thank you for reminding me of this one. I also remember an interview with Matthew Perry when asked about doing a movie with her :"It's SELMA HAYEK!!!"

[@swetashetty941]

Yes...definitely loved that one ...sweet innocent Mathew and Salma ...favorite scene.when Salma goes to.the bathroom with .Mathew still.tbere😂.

[@NDKMovieMunchies]

agree with you. i have seen that movie several times. it seems to be his personal ranking

[@Yohohohomies]

Also Three to Tango, the rom com he did with Neve Campbell

[@ipacarrollread]

Cutting Edge has been my favorite rom-com forever!

[@reh3884]

Mine, too! My daughter also loves it.

[@sherrystewart7232]

😊Toepick!!!

[@lynnevetter]

Loved this one growing up... only seen it once since becoming an adult though. I need to rectify that 🎉

[@silverari23]

The Jane Austen Book Club. It’s an adorable rom com with a dusting of drama and a great cast. No one ever mentions it; definitely an under appreciated gem.

[@WhatExcellentBoiledPo-ta-toes]

Great movie!

[@charlotte241000]

Love kate and leapoled its a very underrated film i didn't like about time though so i understand why people haven't heard of it

[@smtnyu]

Missing French Kiss! Another Meg Ryan classic.

[@missyface5]

My favorite of all!

[@DawnHelmickWood]

I have it on blue ray and watch it every few months

[@pghbekka]

Came to say this! My favorite Meg Ryan movie.

[@justjeni83]

Came here to say this! 😅

[@smtnyu]

@@pghbekka I don't know why it didn't get more play back in the end. It is the PERFECT rom-com. "All men are bastards."

[@lisab7977]

My daughters and I quote “Kate and Leopold” all the time!!! We have always loved it!!! “Fresh, creamery buttah....”😂😂

[@taylorewalters]

I always say "I don't want him ready, I want him resplendent!"

[@Disney65Fan]

@lisab7977 Everytime I see butter I go Fresh Creamery Butter. I also say rats ass 😄 🤣

[@moriahw3947]

the girls in our family quote that all the time too LOL

[@madhushreedeshpande9008]

About Time is one of my absolute favourite movies. It’s so beautiful and wholesome …I always cry when I watch it.

[@amidthephantomsrose]

Im glad you highlighted austenland. It's so underrated. Also kate and Leopold. Although i have to say, every millennial, hopeless romantic, girl has heard of this movie.

[@traceyrinard1886]

Queen Latifah in Last Holiday. Good rom com

[@lynnevetter]

Love it!🎉

[@DFlores-r4g]

Yes!

[@Zzzsleepzzz]

Kate and Leopold was a pretty big movie when it came out. It’s surprising that it’s been forgotten.

[@Disney65Fan]

@Zzzsleepzzz It was also the only romcom James Mangold directed. Speaking of James Mangold he makes a cameo as a director who told Meg Ryan that she was sucking the life out of cinema and the main lead in the film wasn't the main protagonist in a motion picture.

[@christianhardtofind6349]

Yes! Even got an Oscar nomination for the song "Until" by Sting.

[@Disney65Fan]

@christianhardtofind6349 Sadly it lost out to Monsters Inc. However it did win a Golden Globe in 2002 for Best Original Song and Hugh Jackman was nominated for best actor in a musical or comedy.

[@xxkerosenexkidxx]

Kate and Leopold is a gem and I wish Hugh Jackman could have been in more romcoms because he did it so well. And About Time broke me in ways I will never recover from but it was so great.

[@anndevries8267]

Bonus points for 'About time' it makes excellent use of the song 'Il mondo' which has music from Ennio Morricone.Gorgeous.Also any movie that has eiger Domhal Gleeson or his dad Brendan is worth a watch.

[@julesmcc5477]

Really? I’d say a lot of these are pretty well known, depending on ages of course 🙄💕

[@reh3884]

I know, right?!

[@deborahblackvideoediting8697]

I'm a huge fan of The Truth About Cats and Dogs, and About Time. Both charming, sweet, quirky romances with a little pathos thrown in. Also, I was surprised how much I liked Kate and Leopold when I first saw it! Time to give these three romances another watch!

[@Pablorcct]

Thank you for putting paperback hero and Kate & Leopold, Hugh is amazing and so underrated on romcoms ❤️

[@giorgoskouvaris1312]

I love "imagine me and you"! So feelgood and a little bittersweet!

[@celticpoet21]

Great list! "About time" is a family favorite! Kate and Leopold is such an underrated gem! I LOVE the scenes where Leopold humiliates JJ over opera and French and the rooftop dinner scene.

[@Disney65Fan]

Same loved it since 2004,as I saw it in TV.

[@memorylayne78]

I haven’t seen it mentioned on here, but Return to Me is another favorite. The cast and supporting cast are great. It’s predictable, but I love it.

[@WhatExcellentBoiledPo-ta-toes]

The grandpa and his mates make this movie! So good.

[@SimoneHilbrand]

I needed Penelope on this list

[@judithstrachan9399]

Was that Natalie Wood?

[@memorylayne78]

Love that movie. Christina Ricci is a favorite

[@addiittii]

I have always loved The Cutting Edge❤

[@goingrogue2236]

Seriously? The Cutting Edge? I've seen it at least 20 times. TOE PICK!! DOUG CAN READ!!

[@magicxspace5406]

The Cutting Edge is my all time favourite movie, I watched it only every day while studying for graduation :D so underrated

[@sheavanvuuren3884]

I used to quote it to my kids all the time "Mouths to be closed, ears to be opened!"

[@leilamcdowell4634]

where is it on this list? I did not see it talked about, only in the first clip

[@katerinastehlikova2943]

The best kiss ever 😅😂 was at the Cutting edge.

[@Disney65Fan]

I love Kate and Leopold. I've seen it loads of times,as i have it on DVD and Bluray. It reminds me of Enchanted meets Pride and Predjuice. It was also the film that made me develop a crush on Hugh Jackman(who stole the entire film).

[@amidthephantomsrose]

Same. Me and my bestie watched this all the time. I'm surprised our dvd copy is still in good condition.😂

[@Disney65Fan]

@amidthephantomsrose It's a real feel good romcom.

[@shell150675]

Can you even call yourself a Hugh Jackman fan if you don't know about Kate and Leopold?! It's a cheesy film, but I love it.

[@moriahw3947]

exaaaaactly. he's perfection in that movie

[@Kimdone365]

“Something New” and “Liberal Arts” should’ve been on here. Thankyouverymuch

[@rusch4]

The Cutting Edge is my fave. To the point I’ve seen it so many times that I can repeat it verbatim! Another fave is PS I love You with Gerard Butlers an Hilary Swank.

[@bethanytaylor1704]

The Cutting Edge is sooo underrated. Toe pick!

[@elyseflaxman8846]

I was going to ask where is PS I Love You also. It needs to make the list.

[@morningdewdymond1083]

The only way these flew under the radar is if you weren't born yet...😂

[@charlotte-m5d]

Jennifer Coolidge always steals the show.

[@amidthephantomsrose]

Yes, because what millennials haven't heard of or watched Kate and Leopold.

[@blackguyofthesouth2161]

Or you're not into Rom Coms

[@RaisedVintage23]

❤ LOVE Kate & Leopold!

[@JeffreyMarks]

What's up, Doc? is my all-time favorite movie. The banter is priceless and needs to be watched more than once to catch all the wity.

[@judithstrachan9399]

Mine, too. I think i must have watched it a dozen times & still scream with laughter at every well-known line. “Is that clear?” “No, but it’s consistent.” Is one of our favourite quotes.

[@JeffreyMarks]

@@judithstrachan9399 There are SO many great quotes. Thanks for reminding me of this one.

[@christianhardtofind6349]

One of my favorite comfort movies I can watch anytime!

[@theoriginaledi]

It's the best. I'm old enough to have been watching it since it came out (I'm sure I've seen it more than 50 times in the past 50 years or so, and that includes the MANY years when you couldn't just watch things anytime you wanted to) and I can literally just about quote the entire thing, and I STILL laugh out loud every single time.

[@irinakim9173]

Kate and Leopold is one of my favourite movies. it is much more then just a romcom

[@4508bluesky]

I watched Mrs. Winterbourne today, and I liked it

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

No Man of Her Own. A huge fan of Barbara Stanwyck, this 1950 classic has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember.

[@KTRamsey]

Anyone ever watch Someone Like You? Criminally underrated.

[@amaliachristina]

I love that movie 🖤🐄

[@Disney65Fan]

Me It's so underrated

[@taylorewalters]

Yep!!!

[@hpfan2007]

I watched Kate and Leopold in history class and I loved it. I need to watch it again sometime

[@partipatil]

Austenland and Kate and Leopold are two of my FAVORITE RomComs. I rewatch them often and fall in love with their stories all over again, every single time.

[@bethanytaylor1704]

The Decoy Bride deserves to be on this list.

[@carolasteffen303]

Oh! That’s the one with David Tennant? And Kelly McDonald?

[@michellemoore181]

One of my favorites. ❤

[@emilyandrade1732]

Fantastic movie!!! Needs more love ❤️

[@DateMike22]

Anyone that knows movies is aware that Love Jones and the Truth about Cats and Dogs are classics.

[@trinaq]

Agreed, though I've only seen the latter, which is a loosely updated version of Cyrano.

[@chaneestatengamble2259]

DAMN STRAIGHT

[@AudreyC379]

Never heard of any of them. 🤷‍♀️ I've seen thousands of movies.

[@msnewsenior]

@@AudreyC379that’s on you

[@CuteAnimalVideos2580]

I watched TTACAD when I was hooked on Janeane Garofalo

[@tiffanygray]

About Time is a truly amazing movie! It actually made me cry!

[@colleenkeefer2545]

I’ve seen several of these. I absolutely love Kate and Leopold. What’s Up Doc has been one of my all time faves since i was a kid. It was always a must see first date movie for any new boyfriend.

[@lifeofbekahh]

Kate and leopald is one of my favorite movies 😊

[@Disney65Fan]

Same

[@glorialoreto]

#5 Sleeping with other people A great an underrated rom com, thanks for put in this list❤ Honorable mentions: In your eyes How to be single

[@lemasander4932]

I loved Kate and Leopold, it’s adorable 😍

[@emilyandrade1732]

Great movies! Also, The Baxter and Strictly Ballroom. ❤

[@xxobrittanyg]

Kate and Leopold is a classic! Love!

[@barbarabrown7974]

Austenland is a fun favorite with Jane Austen fans.

[@jenkaa55]

IMHO “What’s Up Doc?” should be #1 😂

[@sheavanvuuren3884]

Alex and Emma with Kate Hudson and Luke Wilson, directed by Rob Reiner, is one I enjoy and when I talk about it most people have never heard of it.

[@machtmer]

You apparently and unfortunately missed “One Fine Day” with Clooney and Pfeiffer, and “Deskset”.

[@swetashetty941]

One Fine Day ❤❤❤.watched it atleast 5 times ...

[@lizallen1803]

Walking on Sunshine is a fun romantic comedy with songs from the 80s driving the narrative. The end scene to If I Could Turn Back Time is great!

[@taylorewalters]

About Time is one of my favorite rom coms but you should tread lightly if you haven't seen it. It takes a heavy turn, but it's a beautiful movie!

[@KT926]

My favourite rom-com is "Secret admirer", it was so underrated and unknown by a lot of people. It's definitely deserve a watch for rom-com fans

[@CuteAnimalVideos2580]

The 1985 movie? It's one of my favorites, absolute 10/10

[@Disney65Fan]

Top of my head(some are my favs). The Beautician And The Beast Mannequin 1 and 2 Kate and Leopold(there is actually 2 versions one is a theartical cut, and the other is the directors cut. The only difference is the T Cut omits Stuart being connected to Leopold, whereas the directors cut adds it). Me Before You( I know its a romantic drama) Fools Rush In Someone Like You(aka Animal Attraction) Paperback Hero If Only Only You The Wedding Date Made Of Honor Life as we know it Definetly maybe Chasing liberty First daughter Green Card Geek charming Somewhere In Time The Cutting Edge Just Like Heaven Joe vs the Volcano French Kiss It happens later

[@judithstrachan9399]

I dont know all these, but definitely agree with those I do know!

[@NewOrder4JoyDivision]

Great list i just wish u could’ve included Fools Rush In, Dogfight(1991),Bed of Roses, Mrs.Winterborne, Blast from the Past, Shes Out of my League, Wimbledon, Something New, Chasing Liberty, Sweetheart (2021),Starter for 10 and A Good Year

[@BiohazardMakeup]

I love Mr. Right with Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick. Quirky and fun. I love this movie.

[@mugginsbrooks16]

20 rom-coms you never heard of that are awesome: The More the Merrier, Ball of Fire, Desk Set, Chungking Express, The Shop Around the Corner, Send Me No Flowers, Lover Come Back, Mediterraneo, Seven Chances, Pat and Mike, Monsoon Wedding, Barefoot in the Park, Roberta, the Thin Man series, Man Up, High Heels, I Know Where I'm Going, Easy Living, Theodora Goes Wild, The Man From Snowy River

[@jaclynsanture6643]

I ADOR The Man From Snowy River and the 2nd movie.

[@EstelaAfonso-ws9vd]

I absolutely LOVE "Overnight Delivery" since the first time I saw it. I was 14. What a gem!

[@arielleagustin8280]

When Wolverine was Sabertooth’s ancestor and married Anastasia

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

I've heard of "Just Wright". I even went to the movies to see it. I actually have it on DVD. I love that movie!

[@thejenmath]

I love Just Wright! It’s a comfort watch.

[@Jdiehsofy]

I LOVE "About Time"❤

[@TwoMarsBars]

1994's Eat Drink Man Woman (Ang Lee) was great as was the Latino remake 2001's Tortilla Soup. Both worth a watch - expect to get hungry though!

[@ginahouston9352]

THANK YOU for putting Love Jones on this list! … SO overlooked… it’s my favorite movie/film/work 🥰🤎

[@guitaristchris]

About Time is one of my favourite films. Seen it atleast 8 times

[@imjonesy5239]

About Time is a rom com, but the story about Tim’s relationship with his father is just as good. ❤

[@wendyhamm9722]

I love the Wedding Banquet! Glad it is on the list. 😊

[@hawaiiankira]

Great list. Glad to see Austenland, Cutting Edge and Populaire on this list. All movies that I have watched on repeat.

[@theoriginaledi]

Wow, good job. As a romcom superfan, I'm actually surprised that I've only heard of 15 of these. To be fair, two of the missing five are not in my native language, so streaming services are less likely to suggest them to me (though I do love foreign films), but that still leaves three that I have no excuse for completely overlooking. I'm looking forward to filling the gaps in my viewing!

[@bethanytaylor1704]

Kate and Leopold is one of my favorite movies.

[@TheStylelike16th]

Honorary mention: "Un peu, beaucoup, aveuglément" or the Blind Date. It's a beautiful French movie about a classical pianist and her annoying neighbor.

[@katherinearmstrong1229]

Missing: Warm Bodies

[@marvelfan8996]

I have seen Kate and Leopold, Paperback Hero and about time. All amazing films. I love the early Hugh Jackman before he started starring in Xmen

[@ashleyhall6098]

I love all of the Hugh Jackmans. He never fails.

[@goingrogue2236]

Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist is one of my faves.

[@RationallySassy]

Going to add "Friends with Kids" to this list too :) Great list, definitely have to check out some of these!

[@demolek22]

7/20 watched. And actually Kate and Leopold was a big hit in my country. And Austinland was a wonderful film for all the Jane Austin noves fans.

[@superkally]

Oh, we all remember the end of Austenland. We all love a bit of Nelly. 😂

[@CrystalWilliamsoncoach]

I have seen half of these films, ex: Love Jones, Kate & Leopold, What's Up Doc?, The Wedding Banquet, to name a few! To me this shows I have both good taste and a lot of time on my hands

[@alienlovesong]

Big Eden and The Wedding Banquet are two of my favorite movies.

[@kimp7160]

I like the one where Mark Ruffalo falls in love with the ghost of Reese Witherspoon. The title has "Heaven" in there somewhere.

[@msnewsenior]

Thank you so much for including Love Jones! Such a great film

[@alexphillips4644]

Nothing for "So I Married An Axe Murderer"?

[@charlotte-m5d]

One of my favorites! I have it on dvd and it’s so funny!

[@theoriginaledi]

Oh my gosh, I can pretty much quote that entire movie. So great! :D

[@ginahouston9352]

The Truth About Cats & Dogs is a GEM! … this is one of your best lists! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@marnelloyd6019]

One of my favourites - "About Last Night" (2014) with Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Regina Hall and Joy Bryant

[@lynnhettrick7588]

We’ve been saying, “Toe pick!” for decades!

[@NZRainbowGillian]

Love most of these, my favourite being Paperback hero :) But would love to have seen added : Just Like Heaven (Mark Ruffalo/Reece Witherspoon) Fools Rush In (Matthew Perry/Selma Hayek) While You Were Sleeping (Bill Pullman/Sadra Bullock)

[@sierracordova]

I love Kate and Leopold!!

[@ximfloreyenaresna1462]

The cutting edge and Kate & Leopold are my favorites.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

19) “About Time” is one of my faves! 18) “Kate & Leopold” is a guilty pleasure 17) “Love Jones” is good 16) Cats & Dogs is all right

[@KevimBourke]

I watched "The Thing About Harry" recently, and just loved it!! Not sure which film I would bump from your list to make room for it, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

[@LG-lk5es]

Ride on TIME. 😂. I grew up with Cutting Edge. Why was it left out ?! Easily one of my most favorite movies ❤❤ Like literally..pls watch this.

[@magicxspace5406]

maybe becauase too many people know this one :D

[@jazziered142]

What's up Doc is awesome...

[@mjl3753]

Love Kate and Leopold

[@michaelcain9324]

My favorite was Kate & Leopold ❤

[@deborahkizer4664]

Leopold. My favorite.

[@gopherlyn]

I loved Kate and Leopold.

[@takemeandrun]

The fact that About Time isn’t #1 on this list is criminal! That movie is perfection!

[@WhatExcellentBoiledPo-ta-toes]

... This list is about movies people havent heard of not how good they are 😅 (though so far i know all of these movies and watch them some what regularly 😅)
