Rom-coms, the genre that connects a million love-lorn hearts is one of the most loved in the history of cinema. It has a long-standing history of shifting between literature, theatre, drama, and then onto cinema as we know it today.
A tracing of the genre's history will take us back to Lysistrata, written by Aristophanes. A woman in this story comically tries to put a pause on the Peloponnesian war that took place between the Greeks. Later on, as the genre evolved, and thus, the medium through which rom-com stories were brought to the audience changed. Most rom-coms usually revolve around a quest-like plot, in which either the hero or the heroine, sometimes both are seen searching for their one true love.
To mention some popular rom-coms that made the stage ready for today's rom-coms to shine, were Woody Allen's Annie Hall and Manhattan. The latter is referenced in many family dramas and dinner table conversations today.
Starting from the beautiful, charming, cult-like approach of Pretty Woman, to the quirky characters in Friends With Benefits, rom-coms keep us glued to the screen. The relatability of the stories appeals to us as an audience. We have all, at least for once fallen for someone head over heels.
Many of the popular rom-coms are adaptations of novels and books. For example, an absolute fan favorite is The Notebook, and P.S. I Love You. But this list will remain incomplete without the mention of Me Before You and A Walk to Remember.
With the million attempts to woo and impress a crush, the bff goals suddenly turning into a sweet love story, or a teenage love story that pushes one to choose between career and love, the rom-com narratives are so engaging.
