Selecting a perfect movie for a date night is hard, and let’s focus on the word hard for now. Top Romantic Comedies have specific criteria they meet that can revive any soul from any slumber.
Before selecting a movie for a date night, you have to look at both people’s tastes and match the date night’s vibe. You can’t possibly watch The Shawshank Redemption on a romantic date night unless that is your specific selection.
That is why we are here for you. We have selected 10 of The Top Romantic Comedies To Watch on a Date Night. Take note that these are Rom-Com movies, not proper romantic movies. Such movies like Silver Lining Playbook won’t be on the list.
1. Crazy, Stupid Love
Where To Watch – Prime Video
Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Emma Stone, and Lio Tipton are on the same screen. What else do you want? That was a serious question, but this movie has much to offer besides the stacked cast.
It is a very fun movie with a realistic storyline that is not too overblown or understated. There are a few stupid points in the movie that will irritate you, but in the end, you will not care about that because of how immersed you will be in the movie.
2. Palm Springs
Where To Watch – Netflix
Palm Springs is a recent addition to this list. Released in 2020, Palm Springs got so much hype. And let me tell you, it is worth all the hype in the world. JK Simmons is a treasure, and we have to save him.
The movie revolves around two individuals stuck in a time loop and falling in love while living the same day again and again. It is such a unique concept, and even the implementation is just as good.
3. The Devil Wears Prada
Where To Watch – YouTube
John Krasinski has watched ‘The Devil Wears Prada 70 times on the record and fell in love with Emily Blunt over a movie. Nothing else will if that doesn’t convince you to watch this movie.
Well, the cast of Meryl Steep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Heidi Klum, and Gisele Bündchen might. But this movie is a classic and should be on every date night watch list, no matter what.
4. When Harry Met Sally
Where To Watch – Netflix
From one classic to another. When Harry Met Sally completely changed the romantic comedy genre for modern cinema. It is definitely one of the Top Romantic Comedies of all time.
It is a joy to watch it for the first time; after that, it becomes more heartwarming. The chemistry between the lead cast will melt your heart and make you root for them. Every joke lands, and you will have stomach pain because of laughs and swollen eyes because of all the crying.
5. Punch Drunk Love
Where To Watch – Hulu
Punch Drunk Love is a pure artwork that is not up for debate. I won’t go into details because that will somehow become of us praising Punch Drunk Love for the entirety of this article.
The comedy factor in this movie is low, but it does not need that. The movie’s emotional drive is so good that it will surely leave you in tears. Adam Sandler is just at the top of his game.
6. She’s The Man
Where To Watch – Amazon Prime Video
It is just a perfect comedy movie where you don’t have to worry about anything else and enjoy it. ‘She’s The Man’ has a few good chuckles here and there while you will constantly maintain a smile throughout.
Don’t get us wrong; this movie is not a masterpiece in any sense. But it is so fun that you can’t deny it. One of the most entertaining Rom-Com you will ever watch.
7. Legally Blonde
Where To Watch – Apple TV
You might hate the movie at the start because of all the tried and tested tropes. But once the movie starts picking up the pace, you won’t be able to leave the screen. And as the pace picks up, this movie will break all the stereotypes.
Legally Blonde is one of the Top Romantic Comedies you can watch on date night. Reese Witherspoon gave a really strong performance and really carried the weight of the film on her shoulders.
8. The Big Sick
Where To Watch – Amazon Prime Video
Now, this one is my personal favorite. The Big Sick is so good and such an innocent movie that you will fall in love with the movie in an instant. From the very first scene to the very last, this movie is just amazing.
Kumail Nanjiani and Zoe Kazan have this weirdly blossoming chemistry that will make you want to see them more and more. Even Holly Hunter and Ray Romano are such a good couple.
9. Love, Actually
Where To Watch – Peacock
Let me say, please don’t go to any forum or any other place before watching this movie. The reviews will ultimately take you out of the movie, and you might miss a very heartwarming romantic comedy.
Watch this movie as a collection of stories rather than waiting for the plot to somehow join at the end, and you will enjoy it so much. It is poetic that this movie might feel incomplete, just like most of our romantic stories.
10. Pretty Woman
Where To Watch – Disney+
How can we not mention Pretty Woman in the Top Romantic Comedies list? Pretty Woman is the best fantasy that anyone could ask for. Don’t take this movie seriously, and you will love it.
Julia Roberts looks like a dream, just like the movie itself. It is a cozy watch that is perfect for a date night. This is the perfect cheesy love story where everything will turn out better in the end, and it absolutely rocks.
