Best Rom-Com Movies You Shouldn’t Miss

“ Kiss me.. Out of the bearded barley..” 

Yes. It's all about romantic-comedy movies today. It is something great about rom-com movies that makes us feel hopeful and loved. While love and relationships are at the heart of these films, you don’t have to be in love to enjoy them. They’re also great for unwinding after a long day. The amazing cinematography, dreamy locations, and yes, the crush-worthy characters (Ehem, Henry Golding in Crazy Rich Asians or Julia Roberts in literally everything) — it’s easy to fall for them


So, whether you're a rom-com enthusiast or a certified rewatcher like me, here are a few must-watch (or must-rewatch) rom-coms that deserve a spot on your screen.


While you were sleeping(1995)


This is an amazing feel-good movie, starring the rom-com queen Sandra Bullock. There is not much convincing I can do after this. The movie will be great with Sandra Bullock’s charm and witty dialogue. Though it follows the familiar love triangle plot, it’s still a treat to see how everything unfolds.It can also be considered a Christmas movie. If you want to feel all snowy and cosy, then this movie is for you. 


You’ve got mail (1999)


Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. Need I say more?

This duo, who also starred in Sleepless in Seattle, are back with another iconic love story — this time set in the early days of internet romance. While the idea of falling in love over email may sound old-school now, the film is still relatable, endearing, and packed with nostalgia. Add charming New York backdrops and soft autumn hues, and it’s easy to see why this is a rom-com classic. I have alwas loved rom-coms with 90's charm.

Meet Joe Black (1998)

If you’re looking for a romantic film with a twist, Meet Joe Black is a hidden gem. This one leans more into the romantic fantasy genre and takes on a slower, more contemplative pace — but it’s worth every second. And yes… BRAD PITT. That alone is reason enough to watch. It’s not your typical light-hearted rom-com, but if you're into thought-provoking love stories with a touch of the supernatural, this one’s for you.


The Holiday(2006)

This movie feels like snow, hot chocolate, and pure hope. Starring Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, this movie is about how they navigate their love lives and survive their respective heartbreaks. It's a perfect ‘escape’ movie that you can enjoy and forget about the outside world.

The Proposal (2009)

Again, the queen herself, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds acted in this movie. This is a proper rom-com that blends both comedy and romance. Although it is typical to show women as the controlling boss, the witty dialogues and the amazing chemistry between both of them make this movie amusing. 



Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011)


This is an unmissable one on the list. It is a star-packed movie, with Steve Carrel, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, and Julianne Moore. With entertaining storylines and a fun twist, this movie takes the cake for the perfect rom-com. Also, the famous Ryan Gosling GIF is from this movie. 


So what are you waiting for? Get your favourite snacks and dive into one of these movies and feel the love.

Let me brainwash you into watching sitcoms

  “I declare bankcruptcyyyy”  If you read that in Michael Scott's voice, then you are one of us, a sitcom lover. I started watching Sitcoms when I was in University. A Friends scene popped up on my YouTube recommendations. Ironically, I watched the finale first. But it was so funny and oddly comforting that I went back and binged all the seasons. Since then, I’ve fallen deep into the sitcom rabbit holes.  There is something about watching sitcoms which creates a safe and calm feeling. It will give you an instant feeling like you are included in something warm and pleasant. I believe this is the reason for people to rewatch the same sitcoms many times. Let me give you a few more reasons why you should start watching sitcoms. They are relatable I believe everyone has the urge to feel included, and sitcoms are best at doing it. Remember when Monica asked, “Do you have a plan?” and Phoebe responded with, “I don’t even have a pla ...”? It was hilarious and validating. It remin...

Tengah healing ke tu? A needed escape to Gunung Jerai

Sometimes all we need is a different perspective.  We often get caught up in routines and forget why we push ourselves so hard. At the core, it’s to live the life we dream of. And that takes effort, discipline, and sometimes, a bit of healing. I recently took a long-planned, but impromptu trip to Jerai Hill (Gunung Jerai), which allowed me to relax and stay mindful in the present moment.  To be very honest, I just wanted to escape from the scorching hot weather recently. Malaysia is filled with famous hill stations, and Gunung Jerai is an underrated one. Let me just walk you through everything I loved about Gunung Jerai.  Buckle up! (No, really) Like any hill destination, you need to drive through the beautiful greenery, which makes you think about what else is beautiful you haven't witnessed yet in life. The roads are well-maintained, and there are clear horn signs along the way. It’s a drive that asks you to be both careful and present, watching the road while soaking i...
