Top 10 Forgotten Rom-Coms That Deserve to Be Classics

[@LucienSabre]

“Strictly ballroom” is underrated beyond criminal levels. The movie is an absolute must-watch masterpiece….even those who don’t like dance movies will *love* it, trust me. ❤️❤️ And “Strictly ballrom” is Baz Luhrmann’s first movie….so no wonder he has elements from following movies…as they were inspired by it.

[@elizabethelliott8725]

Love that "Strictly Ballroom" is number one. It totally deserves it. The story is endearing and the dancing is amazing. Paul is a fabulous dancer and for a non-dancer before making this movie Tara is perfect. It is a love story that is about really growing together in love through their dancing. (Not lust which is what DD is about.)The most romantic dance sequence ever filmed is when they dance to "Perhaps". The second best sequence in the film is when they learn to dance from her father. The whole film is a joy to watch. "To live in fear is a life half lived. " (Also enjoy An American President and Crossing Delancey but Strictly wins hands down.)

[@micheledix2616]

I read somewhere that Tara played the same role of Fran in the original small production when Baz wrote it while they were at NIDA. He later expanded the play for the fully movie. Baz did understand about the Ballroom studio and competing scene

[@listfamaccount7400]

@@micheledix2616 Yes, Tara was Fran in the original stage production. When casting for the movie, the producers wanted to go with a professional dancer (I believe the woman who plays Tina Sparkle was their pick?) and Baz fought for her and basically said, let her go through the whole audition process and if she makes it will you consider her?

[@mindy56374]

I can assure you that, in Australia at the very least, "Strictly Ballroom" absolutely and already IS a romcom classic.

[@jonelfilipek7848]

I saw Strictly Ballroom at an Art House cinema in Denver during its first run. The audience was so into it that the film got a standing ovation at the end, as if the actors could hear the applause. I’d been a longtime fan of Australian film, so it was great to see so many Aussie film stars in the movie. The story was both hilarious and romantic. The dancing was fabulous. I wish I could see it for the first time again.

[@micheledix2616]

I was a guest at the Premiere of the Brisbane Qld Australia viewing of Strictly Ballroom ( my daughter & now son in law's Coaches who were retired Champions performed a beautiful Rumba in demonstration) Baz gave a small talk on how he came to originally write Strictly Ballroom for a study piece while he was at NIDA ( Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art where many of Australia's well known & Internationally known Actors attended). He said Tara Morise was in that first originally very small piece too ( I am sure he said she played Fran in that too) . He explained that he knew the Ballroom Competition scene VERY well as he had been around it since a child . The Movie was not shown at a large theatre but at a small independent theatre also. AND WAS A WONDERFUL experience. Just love Strictly Ballroom have it on VHS tape which sadly I cannot play anymore as my machine completely became irreparable. 😪

[@Sufi7]

I've seen most of these films and liked them very much. But I'm really happy with the 1st place for Strictly Ballroom. I've seen twice while it was first released at cinemas and countless times on my own VHS and DVD. It still remains one of my all time favourites. I also like listening to the soundtrack. I love the song Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps sung by Doris Day, though I also love Nat King Cole's Spanish version Quizás, quizás, quizás.

15:39 Baz Luhrmann's mother, I think, taught ballroom dancing so he'd know which steps were 'appropriate' and which were 'non-regulation' even if the rest of the audience couldn't.

[@micheledix2616]

Yes you are correct. I was at the Premiere for the Brisbane showing. Baz gave a small talk on how he came to write the script from an expanded piece he did for NIDA where I am sure he said that Tara Morise was his original Fran as they were students together. My daughter & now son in law's Ballroom Dance Coaches ( retired Champions) gave a beautiful demonstration of the Rumba. Baz explained that he knew the Ballroom Competition scene VERY well indeed from a child. The most hilarious part is that he really parodied the real competition scene with the yelling out of names and entrant numbers etc Some comps even sell megaphones so you can yell louder🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no different to a football match. Nothing sedate about Ballroom Competitions. I once saw at a Brisbane comp a lady competitor's dangling sparkly earring accidentally get caught in another lady competitors floating arm wing piece( it was the fashion in the early 90's). The pierced earring ripped out of her ear , blood everywhere , all over her beautiful dress, but she didn't stop the couple finished the set, bowed left the floor. She went off cleaned up, removed the other earring patched up her torn earlobe with a plaster, changed into another gown and was ready for the next round and went on and kept competing and If I remember they took out a place. Now that is dedication to one's sport

[@agenttheater5]

Renee Zellwegger players a perfect Doris Day. The problem I had was with Ewan McGregor. I never bought him period as the swinging bachelor that Rock Hudson played in the three films they made together.

I was so happy to see Strictly Ballroom and Crossing Delancey high up in the list... I love both movies... I ended up having my own Crossing Delancey in real life, having a love at first sight encounter with a man that I would have never noticed otherwise. I have three university degrees and run my own business. He is a chef in a fast-food restaurant and a single father of two young adult children... he was not looking and I was not looking, so it was freaky that we both had that immediate spark and feeling of knowing each other... Turned out he was the most intelligent, funny man, with the ability to live in the moment, and of course a great cook. Almost ten years together now. So I do tend to love films using the formula of opposites who find they have more in common than imagined, and both Crossing Delancey and Strictly Ballroom exemplify that.

"Down with Love" is amazing. The clothes alone are worth the price of purchase, and it's an amazing homage to the bedroom comedies of the 1960s. "Strictly Ballroom" is everything. Yeah.

[@charlotte241000]

The opposite of sex is one of my favorite films While you where sleeping Mr's winterbourne The other sister The President's daughter Blast from the past are all very underrated ROM com's I think

[@Djynni]

I'm so happy that Strictly Ballroom is #1 and The American President is #2! 2 of my faves!

[@violettaazul]

"The Decoy Bride" is also another favorite, along with my mom. TY Netflix! I saw it there on a nice afternoon movie time with my mom with hot cocoa. It does not need to be over the top or too much. It's so funny, beautiful scenery in Scotland, such a healthy humour. I love the scene when he plays the pipes for the deaf couple.

Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing & Charm School with Robert Carlyle & Marisa Tomei. Sweet, sad, and funny. I found it by accident on Amazon while stuck in a hotel on a business trip a few years ago.

Strictly Ballroom used to make me so happy. It was on replay for a long time. I think it's time for a little happiness this weekend.

The Sure Thing is a teen underrated romcom

[@VintageBeauty1313]

“The Decoy Bride” is such a good movie!!😩💗💗🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@alyzu4755]

"Crossing Delancey" is SUCH a great film! I saw it when it came out. I was living in NYC at the time, which made it extra special. ☺️ "Fever Pitch" was fun. I grew up in Boston, and the year they filmed the movie was the year the Red Sox won the World Series after 86 years.

[@elisamason4836]

I started out watching Decoy Bride for David Tenant but ended up falling in love with the film. Kelly Macdonald was so fun to watch as well.

[@alyzu4755]

She's so good in everything she's in.

[@CarolHardesty]

My favorite underrated rom-coms are "She's Out of My League", "What If", "Bewitched", "Chungking Express", "Sliding Doors", "Mr. Deeds", "The Butcher's Wife" and "Just Like Heaven".

[@listfamaccount7400]

Aww Just Like Heaven, I like that one.

[@doylethechocolatelab]

I loved the decoy bride. Tennant really did a good job in that movie. I remember she's out of my league Oh my gosh! Margot is Jen from Dawson's Creek!

[@Cyberlucy]

The top three are some of my favorite films of all time. "Strictly Ballroom" is an amazing film with a new style of filmmaking. The good characters are all real, earthly, and in some cases gritty while the antagonists all seem like caricatures.

[@krsncrs821]

Strictly Ballroom! One of my all time favorite movies!! ❤️

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

My list: 1: the cutting edge 2: Dance with me (still underrated) 3: the American President 4: forget Paris (i feel only my parents and I knows this film. Everything is great about it.) 5: Strictly Ballroom 6: the decoy bride (don’t watch it enough) The ones I watch the most are 1-4.

[@mariaammirati6639]

Crossing Delancey is a must, but Return to Me should be on the list

[@CortexNewsService]

Very happy to see Strictly Ballroom at the top

[@laurainthetardis]

Pleasantly surprised to see The Decoy Bride on the list. One of my fave romcoms.

[@thejenmath]

Absolutely agree on Decoy Bride and Fever Pitch!! I watched Decoy Bride on Netflix one random night and ended up watching it two more times that same week. It’s just so charming.

[@frances6940]

Heart and Souls with Robert Downey Jr and Elizabeth Shue deserves to be on this list too. Crossing Delaney is a well deserved inclusion.

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

*Deliver Us From Eva* is a phenomenal movie and it is NOT underrated. We've all loved it. It's new to YOU.

[@danastutzman34]

I loved the way all the others were dancing for the audience...but they were dancing for each other (the audience blurs away)...beautiful!

[@crystalstanley4960]

Sliding Doors, 1998 with Gwyneth Paltrow and John Hannah

[@Dublin90210]

Great movie

[@sherimeinburg3066]

So there is a clip for the Cutting Edge in the opening but no mention of it after...that makes me sad

[@karaleesabo379]

I love The Decoy Bride. I'm glad it was on this list.

[@pandorazbox9659]

I used to have a vcr and watched crossing delancy at least twice a week throughout my 20s....thanks for the memory

[@janicelourens5535]

Moonstruck is an underrated classic Frankie and Johnny as well
