It’s time to settle in with one of the films from our round-up of the best rom-coms out there. Prepare to laugh and cry in equal measure. By being cute, funny or a teensy bit cheesy, these rom-coms make us catch feelings in all the best ways. And oh, the endings! When many of us want to lose ourselves in romantic movies, we reach for some rom-com movies. They’re the perfect blend of funny and heartstring-tugging; perfect for soothing a broken heart after a breakup, reminding the long-coupled how much they love love or just for a relaxing, low-stress movie night.
