We’ve all watched and rewatched the epic scene. Famous Hollywood actress Anna stands professing her love to our everyday normal guy Will. Will is afraid that she will break his heart, and the beautiful Anna goes, “I’m also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.”
“Notting Hill” is an epic film that has become an indispensable part of pop culture. The uncommon love between a famous celebrity and a normal bookstore owner has won the hearts of millions because of its simplicity and charisma. Quite truthfully, we can’t get enough of it, so much so that here we are looking for more masterpieces like “Notting Hill.”
William Thacker is a normal man who owns a bookstore in Notting Hill in London. Anna Scott, a famous Hollywood actress, visits the shop to get herself a book. Will clumsily spills juice on her dress. He offers to take her to his flat to change it into something clean. And the unconventional love story of two people from two completely different worlds begins.
Best Romantic Comedies Like “Notting Hill”
Despite all her stardom, she is just a normal girl standing in front of her lover, asking to be loved. This is very relatable for all of us, and this adds to the film’s appeal, making it our absolute favorite. To satiate your hunger for beautiful romances like Notting Hills, I’ve handpicked the best, most hilarious, and heart-warming romantic movies like Notting Hill.
1. Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
- Genre: Romantic Comedy
- Director: Mike Newell
- Cast: Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell, Kristin Scott Thomas
- Where to watch: Streaming on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video
This, in my view, is the best Hugh Grant film (and his second-best film isn’t ‘Notting Hill’). A full package of situational comedy, romance, and a lot of entertainment. The film cycles around weddings, and we have almost no idea of what people do in their everyday lives, but the film is British, so we can sort of understand. As a result, the whole film has a festive and celebratory vibe.
Charles is the best man at Angus and Laura’s wedding, and let’s just say that he is not a very good one (Yeah, the rings he gave the bride and groom had me dying). At the wedding, he meets a beautiful young American, Carrie, and they instantly click. Overall, this is a great tale of love with the promise to make us laugh all along.

2. Love Actually (2003)
- Genre: Romantic Comedy
- Director: Richard Curtis
- Cast: Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson
- Where to watch: Streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video
Now while I will tell you this is Hugh Grant’s second-best film, I still think “Notting Hill” is equally good so let’s just call it a tie. David (Hugh Grant) is the newly elected prime minister of the UK, and he might as well be the most helplessly hilarious one. And Natalie is a new member of the household staff at the Prime minister’s residence.
They are not the only couple in the film, though. The film is a web of a bunch of different stories beautifully woven together to form a hell of a terrific film. Hopelessly comic characters. You will find the magic of ‘Notting Hill,’ ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ and ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ in this film, as all these films are written and directed by Richard Curtis.

3. When Harry met Sally (1989)
- Genre: Romantic Comedy
- Director: Rob Reiner
- Cast: Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan
- Where to watch: Streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Starz
If you haven’t watched this masterpiece, then you don’t know the first thing about rom-coms. One of the most iconic films in the history of Hollywood, it has a more grown-up approach towards love and is a very heart-touching and tear-jerking tale, with a perfect proportion of humor, drama, and love (ok, I’ll stop fanboying).
Beginning with a shared drive from Chicago to New York, Harry and Sally realize that they are two people with opposing opinions. The two-part ways after a very normal trip to meet again if fate permits (ah, the irony). I am not going to spoil any more of it. So, in the very unlikely case that you haven’t seen this classic piece of art yet. Go and watch it right now.
4. Shakespeare in Love (1998)
- Genre: Historical Romance, Comedy
- Director: John Madden
- Cast: Gwyneth Paltrow, Joseph Fiennes, Geoffrey Rush
- Where to watch: Streaming on Starz and Amazon Prime Video
This film has received the academy award for best picture. It’s an excellent piece of art with impeccable performances from its star-studded cast. The film is set in 1593 London, where a young William Shakespeare is facing writer’s block with his new comedy ‘Romeo and Ethel.’ He attempts to seduce the mistress of a theatre owner to have him buy his play.
Set in the scenic 1590s, the film captures the beauty and charisma of period dramas. The tale of the young struggling William Shakespeare is very beautifully portrayed with the richness of love and accompanying struggles depicted artistically.
I strongly recommend you check out this masterpiece; although it doesn’t have a ‘Notting Hill’ type happy ending, I can guarantee you a very pleasant and heart-warming experience.
5. Silver Linings Playbook (2012)
- Genre: Romantic Comedy-Drama
- Director: David O. Russell
- Cast: Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence
- Where to watch: Streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video
The reason why this absolute diamond of a film is not at the top is that it’s not exactly a cheerful rom-com like ‘Notting Hill,’ but what the two films share is their attempt at showcasing the nuances of love and exploring the many bitter challenges of any relationship, the differences being that it takes a very bold and realistic approach.
It follows Patrizio’ Pat,’ a man with bipolar disorder who has just been released from a psychiatric hospital and will do Anything to get back together with his wife. The film explores tough love amidst mental illness and depression. With outstanding performances by Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, the film is one of the finest rom-coms ever, and I strongly recommend you watch this masterpiece.
6. About Time (2013)
- Genre: Romance, Comedy-Drama
- Director: Richard Curtis
- Cast: Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy
- Where to watch: Streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video
We’ve all had regretful and embarrassing moments, but what’s done can never be changed, or can it? ‘About Time’ borrows the sci-fi concept of traveling back in time. On his 21st birthday, Tim Lake is introduced to his family secret. His father tells him that men in the family possess the gift of traveling back in time. He advises him not to misuse the gift to acquire money and fame but rather to improve his life with it.
He travels to the past multiple times to have the perfect life with the love of his life, but he eventually realizes that he cannot make everything correct. He would always have to compromise on some aspects, and the choices were not simple. With limited use of sci-fi elements, a lot of comedy, and a heart-touching romance, the film is a must-watch.
7. Groundhog Day (1993)
- Genre: Fantasy, Comedy
- Director: Harold Ramis
- Cast: Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell
- Where to watch: Streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Starz
Imagine reliving the same day over and over again. Television weatherman Phil Connors travels to cover the festival of Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, a small town. He openly dislikes the small town and is eager to leave it at the first chance.
Much to his dismay, he realizes that he is stuck on the same day, repeating it endlessly over and over again. Realizing that whatever he does has no effect on the next day, he starts to live in absolute abandon. However, he soon grows tired of it all and desperately seeks a way to exit the loop. A film based on the sci-fi concept of time loop, the film promises comedy and love at its best, earning it a spot on the list.
8. Defending Your Life (1991)
- Genre: Comedy, Fantasy
- Director: Albert Brooks
- Cast: Albert Brooks, Meryl Streep, Rip Torn
- Where to watch: DVD, streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, and Vudu.
Ever wondered what happens after death? Well, watch the film to find out. The film is based on the interesting concept of the afterlife. Daniel Miller dies in a car accident only to find himself in Judgement City. And within a few weeks, he will be judged, just like everybody, whether he is worthy of moving on to the next phase of existence or else he will have to repeat a life on earth.
Here Daniel meets Julia, a recently deceased woman who had a perfect life on earth, far better than his own. The two fall in love with each other in the fantasy city. With fantasy and drama, the film is a nice take on the interesting concept of the afterlife. I recommend you give it a watch.
9. The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)
- Genre: Comedy
- Director: Judd Apatow
- Cast: Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd
- Where to watch: DVD, streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, and Vudu.
Here is a film that will leave you in fits of laughter. ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’ derives humor from the issues that men face trying to impress women. The story is very relatable (though exaggerated to comic effect). Andy Stitzer is an everyday normal 40-year-old guy working as a stock supervisor at a convenience store. The catch is there, and he is still a virgin. His co-workers discover this and try their best to help him lose his V-Card.
The next day at work, he realizes, to his dismay, that the whole workplace knows his secret, leaving him utterly embarrassed in a very tricky and funny situation. The film beautifully showcases struggles of Andy. Armed with a barrage of humor and a lighthearted love story, the film is worth a watch.
10. Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)
- Genre: Romance, Comedy
- Director: Sharon Maguire
- Cast: Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant
- Where to watch: DVD, streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, and Vudu.
The film is based on a novel by the same name, which was loosely based on the famous novel Pride and Prejudice. Bridget Jones is a clumsy single lady who is out in search of her knight in shining armor.
She works as a publicity assistant in London, and her boss Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant), appears to be the prime candidate. At the new year’s party, she has a nasty encounter with Mark Darcy and develops a dislike for him.
She decides to set her life straight, deciding to lose weight, stop drinking, and stop smoking (yeah, she is practically us), and most importantly, she has set herself on a mission to find her Mr. Right. She starts writing a diary to log her progress. All in all, ‘Bridget Jones Diary’ is a great romantic comedy that begins with conflict but finishes only after thoroughly entertaining you.
11. My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997)
- Genre: Romantic Comedy
- Director: P.J. Hogan
- Cast: Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, Cameron Diaz
- Where to watch: Streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Vudu
This is arguably the best Julia Roberts film of all time. I argue it’s as good if not better than ‘Notting Hill.’ Often, we end up being strangers to our own feelings, and this is portrayed beautifully in the film.
Just before her 28th birthday, Julianne’ Jules’ gets a call from her longtime friend Michael, inviting her to his wedding. Jules realizes that she has always loved Michael, and she sets on a mission to sabotage the wedding and confess her love.
The film is a rollercoaster of comedy and drama. A story of two friends who realize that there is more to their relationship than just being friends. The film starring Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Dermot Mulroney, and Rupert Everett is an epic romantic comedy and a prime recommendation.

12. Much Ado About Nothing (1993)
- Genre: Comedy, Romance
- Director: Kenneth Branagh
- Cast: Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Keanu Reeves
- Where to watch: DVD, streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, and Vudu.
Based on William Shakespeare’s play of the same name. Studded with stars like Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves, it is a fabulous romantic comedy. The film is based on olden times, which adds to the charm.
Claudio had always admired Leonato’s beautiful daughter, and after returning from the war, he finds her as pretty as always. His friend Don Pedro, on his behalf, acts as the matchmaker. Don John, who had lost to Claudio in the war, tries his best to sabotage the wedding.
The film further evolves, unearthing hilarious schemes, lighthearted comedy, and a story of love. It’s a great choice for anyone who wants a lighthearted love story without the no nuances of sad partings to break your heart.
13. Definitely, Maybe (2008)
- Genre: Romantic comedy
- Director: Adam Brooks
- Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz, Elizabeth Banks, Abigail Breslin
- Where to watch: DVD, Streaming on Amazon Prime Video
This is a romantic comedy starring Ryan Reynolds. And his narration in the film is, let’s just say, a beta version of the kind of humor Ryan is famous for. Ryan plays the character of Will Hayes, a man who is in the midst of a divorce from his wife, Sara.
His 10-year-old daughter Maya is very keen to listen to the story of how her parents met. Giving in to her insistence, he narrates the story, which involves three women. He, however, changes their names so as to leave Maya guessing which one of the three her mother is.
The film offers a very entertaining story and a very fun narration. Here is a film that sets itself apart from the otherwise mediocre rom-com films, which are very predictable and offer very little innovation. So, I would say you should give this film a watch definitely, maybe.
14. Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
- Genre: Romantic comedy-drama
- Director: Jon M. Chu
- Cast: Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Gemma Chan, Awkwafina, Nico Santos, Ken Jeong, Michelle Yeoh
- Where to watch: DVD, Streaming on Netflix
A recent blockbuster and a definite must-watch. Similar to ‘Notting Hill,’ it is a story of lovers at opposite ends of the spectrum falling in love. Rachel Chu, an Economics professor at New York University, accompanies her boyfriend, Nick Young, to visit his cousin’s marriage in Singapore. Little does she know that he is the son of a wealthy conglomerate.
Rachel, a New Yorker, suddenly finds herself in a foreign culture. And she is not very welcome in the family. It’s a great movie with a lot of cute love. Oh, and by the way, the famous clip you watched was of Astrid and Michael, so keep an eye on this couple, too, as you enjoy the film.
15. About a Boy (2002)
- Genre: Romantic comedy-drama
- Director: Chris Weitz, Paul Weitz
- Cast: Hugh Grant, Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, Rachel Weisz, Sharon Small
- Where to watch: DVD, Streaming on Amazon Prime Video
Yet another jewel of a film starring Hugh Grant, yep, he is the star of the genre. The story revolves around Will Freeman, a man with no responsibilities, no aims, and no care in the world. Will comes to the realization that hot single moms are the next big thing and decides to join a community called S.P.A.T (single parents alone together). The catch is he is not a single parent and has no child.
About a boy is more than just a rom-com; it’s a film that explores relationships and parenthood. It is a story of a man running from responsibilities, aimlessly and cluelessly. It is a perfect blend of comedy, romance, and drama, and overall, a perfect package of entertainment for you.
16. The Holiday (2006)
- Genre: Romantic comedy-drama
- Director: Nancy Meyers
- Cast: Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black, Eli Wallach
- Where to watch: DVD, Streaming on Netflix
Starring Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz, it is a neat romantic comedy. While it is a bit predictable and is well reflected in a critic rating, still, every once in a while, all we want is to be left smiling ear to ear. Two women, two different cities, and two stories. Iris in London and Amanda in Los Angeles have been cheated by their lovers and are yearning for a change.
They come across one another on a home swap website and decide to give it a shot. They swap places and start living in each other’s houses. This is a very cute love story of people coming to foreign cultures, falling in love with the natives, and finding their Mr. Right.
17. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)
- Genre: Romantic comedy
- Director: Donald Petrie
- Cast: Kate Hudson, Matthew McConaughey, Adam Goldberg, Kathryn Hahn, Bebe Neuwirth
- Where to watch: DVD, Streaming on Amazon Prime Video
This is another one of those not-so-appreciated-by-critics-but-absolutely-loved-by-audiences types of film. And I’d go with the latter. The film is based on an interesting idea. Andie Anderson, a writer for the magazine Composure, is to write an article titled ‘How to lose a guy in 10 days.’. She takes on the challenge of trying to date a guy and drive him away in 10 days in order to write the article.
On the other hand, Benjamin Barry, an advertising executive at a diamond company, bets that he could make any woman fall in love with him. And the game is on, with Andie doing her best to turn off Benjamin while he tries to win her heart. What ensues is absolute comic mayhem and a fantastic film. With a well-written comedy and a beautiful story of love, the film is a must-watch.
18. Plus One (2019)
- Genre: Romantic comedy-drama
- Director: Jeff Chan, Andrew Rhymer
- Cast: Maya Erskine, Jack Quaid, Ed Begley Jr., Finn Wittrock, Rosalind Chao
- Where to watch: Streaming on Amazon Prime Video
A very recent addition to the list, ‘Plus One’ is another film which revolves around weddings. It’s a quirky, witty, and humorous film. It is the wedding season, and Ben and Alice are without any partners. They are close friends and have known each other since college. Alice has just broken up with her boyfriend after she got him cheating. To wash away the pain, she over-drinks, and Ben helps take care of her.
The two, frustrated, having to go through the marriage alone, decide to be each other’s Plus One at all marriages throughout the season. The film is very entertaining as two team up to find one-night stands for Ben, and the relationship between the two morphs into something more than just casual friends.
19. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
- Genre: Romantic comedy
- Director: Gil Junger
- Cast: Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Larisa Oleynik, David Krumholtz
- Where to watch: DVD, Streaming on Amazon Prime Video
This one is a lighthearted teen romantic comedy. It is loosely based on Shakespeare’s play ‘The Taming of the Shrew.’ Cameron, a new student at school, is absolutely smitten with Bianca, a beautiful girl in his class. However, as he asks her out, he is informed of an odd rule of her father, who, being an obstetrician, is very worried about teen pregnancy and hence bans his daughters from dating till they graduate.
Cameron and Bianca are very keen to date each other, and Bianca insists that her father allow her to date. As an excuse, her father sets a condition that he allow her to date only after her older sister Kat finds a date.
But Kat is very anti-social, so to circumvent the problem, Cameron and Bianca hire the bad boy ‘Patrick Verona’ to seduce Kat. The whole film is a great comedy and unfolds very beautifully, and you will surely love this romantic comedy.

- Director: Jon Turteltaub

21. Say Anything (1989)
- Genre: Romantic Comedy-Drama
- Director: Cameron Crowe
- Cast: John Cusack, Ione Skye, John Mahoney
- Where to watch: Amazon Prime, Vudu, Google Play Movies & TV
I’ve got another teen romantic comedy for you. ‘Say Anything’ is a critically acclaimed film dubbed by entertainment weekly as ‘The greatest modern movie romance.’ Quite like ‘Notting Hill,’ the lead couple stands at opposite ends of the spectrum.
Lloyd Dobler is an average student in High school, while Diana court is the valedictorian of the class. At the end of his senior year, Lloyd falls head over heels in love with Diana and pursues her in spite of their differences.
Diana’s divorced father, Jim, plays an important role in the story. Jim disapproves of Lloyd, a man who very openly has no plans for his future. ‘Say Anything’ is not a fantasy-based film. Rather, the characters are very realistic and relatable. This and the beauty with which it depicts human emotions make it a great watch.
22. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018)
- Genre: Romantic Comedy
- Director: Susan Johnson

This film neatly portrays the nuances of teenage love and is a great movie overall. The film also has two sequels, so you can watch the whole trilogy if you like it.

One of the most wholesome rom-coms and a fan favorite, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. ‘You’ve Got Mail’ is a film with very engaging chemistry between the leads. The film is set in an era where the internet revolution has just introduced a new medium of communication, email.
Kathleen Kelly and Joe fox meet on an ‘over-30s’ chat room and begin having conversations in almost complete anonymity. Joe’s family owns a chain of mega bookstores with a new outlet opening near Kathleen’s small bookstore.
The two walk past each other without even realizing that despite being rivals in real life, they are friends online. Hence the tagline ‘Someone you pass on the street may already be the love of your life.’ ‘You’ve Got Mail’ is a very enjoyable romantic comedy and definitely, a must-watch.

- Director: Ivan Reitman
- Cast: Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver, Frank Langella
- Where to watch: Amazon Prime, Vudu, Google Play Movies & TV
What job would be more interesting than being a body double for the President of the United States of America? The concept of the film is very interesting and has been utilized very artistically to present the best political comedy of all time.
Dave Kovic, who acts as a body double for President Bill Mitchell, finds himself in a tricky situation. While he was impersonating the President at a speech due to security concerns, the President, who was actually having an affair, died of a stroke while having sex.

- Where to watch: Amazon Prime, Vudu, Google Play Movies & TV
Another great rom-com; the lead couple is in their 50s – 60s. It’s a nice comedy that plays with our ideas of love and relationships and draws comedy out of the age gap of couples. Harry Sanborn is somewhat of a playboy. He is 63 and only dates women below 30; yep, he is basically Leonardo DiCaprio of the film.
The story begins with him dating Marin, a young woman. However, he ends up having a heart attack during his foreplay with Marin. You must’ve guessed it, and the film is a great comedy. It’s a rom-com about ageless love. And a perfect recommendation for any rom-com fan.

- Genre: Romance, Comedy
- Director: Catalina Aguilar Mastretta

This is a Mexican entry in the list. A great comedy that circles around Carla, an Ob-gyn. Along with her medical practice, she also offers advice on relationships and love life. Ironically, she has no luck with love. She frequently travels between US and Mexico.
When her family invites her to a cousin’s marriage in Mexico, she convinces her co-worker Damiel to pose as her boyfriend. It all comes crashing down when her ex arrives, and comic chaos ensues. It’s a great film, and the only reason it is so low on the list is that it’s a bilingual film, and watching films with subtitles isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It’s still a great film to watch, though.
