Bridget Jones’s Diary
When Harry Met Sally comes to mind as the best.
Have you checked out AFI’s List of top 100 Romance films? Not all of them are comedies of course, but I’m sure they are all high scorers.
Love Notting Hill.
One of my fellow teachers has requested a Romantic Comedy Page. Trying to come up with a Top 100…..while also trying to list 100 movies with a 80 or higher UMR score. Any major movies that I am missing?
