Bridget Jones’s Diary
Bridget Jones’ Diary was an immediate rom-com classic when it hit theaters in 2001, and for good reason. Based on Helen Fielding’s novel of the same name, which is also a modern version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, the film follows the klutzy, clumsy Bridget Jones as she stumbles through life at 32. Jones is a lonely and lonesome woman who fears she will die alone. Enter the beautiful, playboy-esque Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant), who takes an unexpected and passionate interest in Bridget, and Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), a quiet lawyer whose path keeps crossing Bridget’s — and who is better at pining from afar than expressing about his feelings. Bridget Jones combined with two charming, attractive men provides the perfect amount of mayhem for fans to enjoy as she navigates the dating world.

Leap Year
Leap Year, starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode, is a rom-com that embraces all of its genre tropes without being corny. Anna (Adams) is a high-maintenance New Yorker who intends to follow a Celtic tradition that says women can propose to men on February 29th, and travels overseas to propose to her boyfriend, who happens to be in Ireland for a conference on that day. Naturally, her travel plans go awry, and she finds herself in Ireland, far from her original destination of Dublin, having to rely on Declan — the muscular, gruff bar owner (Goode) she’s just met — to get her there in time for the leap year.
