Looking for something to watch that is romantic, funny, clever and not too saccharine/Hollywood. Any ideas? Can be new or old but not a weepy please.

Come share your favourite romantic films.

I love 10 Things! Other romantic films I love:
She's the man
My best friend's wedding
The wedding planner

Valentine's day (though there is one bit that gets me)
The time travellers wife (also tear inducing)
The notebook (DH cries at this)

10 Things I Hate About You is one of the most underrated films of all time - it's just brilliant!

What is it with this chick? She have beer flavoured nipples? 😂😂😂

Only You is an older cheesy Robert Downey Jr rom com

Trainwreck was good and is quite recent with Amy Schumer

Thanks for all the suggestions. I was watching 10 things I hate about you (again!). But will have a read through. Looks like I'm set for winter film-watching Grin

Loads of suggestions that I have already watched and love, so you've pitched them just right in that respect. And fortunately, a number that I haven't seen or even heard of. Luck, lucky me! Thank you again.

A BIG YES to Sweet Home Alabama and A Knights Tale.

Another one I absolutely adore and have watched over and over again and would be my suggestion to anyone asking this question is 'Gross Pointe Blank.

I recently watched The Perks of being a Wallflower which was surprisingly good

tinymeteor · 03/09/2018 23:31

I love all your picks OP! 10 Things is fantastic.

Crazy Stupid Love was way better than I expected. The Keira Knightley Pride & Prejudice is lovely. And Room With A View is an oldie but a goodie.

Warm Bodies, if you have a reasonably strong stomach. Romeo and Juliet, but with a happy ending.
