There is truly never a wrong time for a good romantic flick. But for those who don't feel like spending their time watching typical sad romance movies or popular Valentine's Day movies, a good middle ground is a classic rom-com! Can you name anything better than being able to feel hopelessly in love with the protagonists, while also letting out a few snarky laughs? Didn't think so! We've rounded up the best romantic comedies of all time that somehow never get old, no matter how many times we revisit them. What can we say—they had us at hello!

If your evening to-do list includes a much-needed escape into a romantic comedy, then we’re happy to provide you with this ultimate guide to the funniest love stories out there. These picks feature all the rom-com greats, including Molly Ringwald, Gabrielle Union, Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts, and plenty of Tom Hanks and Richard Gere, too. These films also span decades, meaning there’s something nostalgic for an at-home date night with your sweetheart, and more modern options that pickier kids or teens might actually enjoy. Of course, the best possible way to enjoy these flicks might be to have a quiet night to yourself in front of the TV, so you can watch John Cusack hold up his boombox in peace. What could be more romantic than that?!
