By Ivan Favelevic Arts Editor 5. “Pretty Woman:” A classic Cinderella story told in a modern day context. This film can really teach you not to judge a book by its cover.
4. “Wall-E:” Anyone who has been in love can identify with Wall-E’s struggling efforts to get Eve to fall for him, and this is done with the characters barely speaking a word.
3. “When Harry Met Sally:” This movie makes me fall more in love with New York than anything else. A timeless classic that shows how sometimes the things we hate are the ones we cherish the most.
2. “Princess Bride:” Another hopeless romantic tale. This tongue in cheek parody of a romantic movie actually comes off as being really good.
1. “Love Actually:” Probably the best romantic comedy ever made in my opinion. Mixes the right amount of comedy with the right amount of romance and presents some of the most believable couples in movie history.
