16 Romantic Comedies That Men Love
Romantic comedies are for everyone to enjoy. A few men from Ask Reddit have revealed their favorite romantic comedy that they could watch again and again, so next time you schedule a date night, play one of these films:
“Not only a good romantic comedy, it was one of the few movies to respect mental illness and treat recovery mostly realistically. There was no magic feather, no silver bullet, no underlying issue to solve and suddenly BAM well-adjusted happy person. It’s a process, it’s work, it’s never really finished, it takes support of others. And it’s worth it.” — sgol
“It’s romantic, but it’s also actually a legit comedy. Either aspect alone would have made for a solid movie. And the romance is done pretty well too. It’s not all just sappy cheesy stuff, it has some realistic lines that you could believe a real adult human would actually say: ‘Ordinarily, I don’t like to be around interesting people because it means I have to be interesting too.’ ‘Are you saying I’m interesting?’ ‘All I’m saying is that, when I’m around you, I find myself showing off, which is the idiot’s version of being interesting.‘ Of course, being a Steve Martin movie, it also has a few lines less serious and realistic.” – adrianmonk
“An ex of mine wanted to see this film, so I bought in. Was pleasantly surprised. Exactly sci-fi enough to not bore me, exactly rom-com enough to appease her.” — GlideStrife
“This one has John Cusack and Minnie Driver. Insane chemistry between the two leads, somewhat dark and twisted humor while remaining ridiculous funny, amazing action sequences popping out of nowhere, lovely 80’s soundtrack… what the fuck more could you want?” — Dinsdale_P
“Every time I revisit this movie, I breathe a sigh of relief. Yep, this movie still holds up.” — something-magical
“I’m not sure if this counts, but if it does, Stardust. If it doesn’t count, fuck the rules, I pick Stardust.” — [deleted]
“I’ve never been so fucking stressed out watching someone in an elevator.” — dotfortun
“I don’t care what anyone says, that movie is damn cute and funny.” — EricSnow-TheBastard
“I’ve never wanted a fake rock star to be real before I heard Aldous Snow.” — dl7
“Jack Nicholson plays an old asshole with severe mental issues who is forced to interact with his gay neighbor and falls for a waitress he ritually visits in the process.” — [deleted]
“I liked the Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell duo. Also, not gonna lie, I was admiring Gosling pretty hard. I watch that movie for motivation sometimes.” — NutmegTadpole
“Not gonna lie I teared up on one scene, not going to ruin anything because anyone who hasn’t seen it owes it to themselves because it could strike a chord.” — allenselmo
“This is actually just one of my favorite films in general. It’s well directed, very well written, and I love the structure as a series of vignettes.” — Vorbuld
“I’m Croatian and that movie perfectly describes growing up in my family except instead of windex, we put rakija (homemade moonshine) on everything.” — vujalikewoah
“This is my go to movie when I can’t decide what to watch.” — Homsy
“This movie is witty and charming and very relatable. And the protagonist’s relationship with his father was just beautiful. It’s not just a love story, it’s a story about life.” — GetOffMyLawnKids
