Pillow Talk, Lover Come Back, and the “no-sex sex comedies” of the 1960s are the inspiration for this 2003 rom-com starring Ewan McGregor and Renée Zellweger. Often starring Rock Hudson and Doris Day, the films would typically follow a career woman advocating for more female independence and less emphasis on romance going up against a lothario — Down With Love is no exception.
Sometimes, love is where you least expect it. In I Want You Back, Jenny Slate and Charlie Day are both recently single, and after a chance meeting, become friends and team up to sabotage their exes’ new relationships.
Set in the 1950s, Sylvie (Tessa Thompson) has a summer romance with a saxophonist who takes a summer job at her father’s record store in Harlem. When they reconnect years later, they discover that their feelings for each other have not faded despite where time and life has taken them.
Screwball comedy meets romance meets suspense in Charade, the 1963 film starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. While on vacation, Reggie (Hepburn) meets the dashing and mysterious Peter Joshua, and returns home to find her husband murdered. A trio of criminals begin pursuing Reggie through Paris to recover millions that her husband had stolen from them. The only person she can trust? Peter Joshua, of course.
Throwing it back even further than Charade, you can check out screwball romantic comedy legend Cary Grant in 1940’s His Girl Friday, where he stars opposite Rosalind Russell. Grant plays Walter Burns, a newspaper editor who gets entangled in a murder case trying to win back his ex-wife and ace reporter (Russell) from her new fiancé.
Molli and Max bump into each other across the course of twelve years, four planets, three dimensions, and one space cult in this sci-fi romantic comedy gem.

Cher took home an Oscar for her performance in Moonstruck, where she plays Loretta, a widowed Italian-American bookkeeper. Loretta, superstitious following her first husband’s sudden death, accepts her boyfriend’s marriage proposal before he leaves for Italy to take care of his dying mother. In the intervening months, Loretta begins to fall for her fiancé’s estranged younger brother (Nicolas Cage).
Romance is secondary to female friendship and some light violence (but trust, romance is still there!) in Bottoms, the 2023 flick starring Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri as two lesbian high schoolers who start a fight club as a way to make out with their hot cheerleader crushes.
