<![CDATA[The All-Time Best Romantic Comedies of the Early-2000s]]> Hollywood had a strong hold on romantic comedies in the early-2000s. They created some of the best rom-coms to ever hit the big screen and made some actors a staple in Hollywood like Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. Romantic comedies can get a little messy with all the different emotions the characters go through, which makes for a comedic moment that viewers can relate to. Some of these moments can hit a little to close to home for some, but the movie gives them a way to make an emotional connection to the characters on the screen.

<![CDATA[The 15 Best Romance Anime to Watch Next]]> Romance films and series focus on passion, emotion, and the many challenges facing two (or more) individuals as they fall in love. Fans of the romantic genre are missing out on some of the best storylines if they avoid romance anime.

<![CDATA[The Most Annoying and Overused Cliches in Romance Movies]]> It happens too often — a person is happily watching a too-much-in-love couple in a romantic film, only to realize halfway through that it seems like they've seen this exact movie before. They don't have deja vu, and there is no need to question their sanity, though, as countless romantic flicks out there continuously employ the same done-to-death clichés. The result? A love story that is meant to make viewers get the feels and go misty-eyed instead comes across as tiring, predictable, and contrived.

<![CDATA[The Most Underrated Rom-Coms You Should Watch Next]]> It’s a genre beloved by many and despised by others, but even those who say they hate rom-coms have a couple of secret favorites. They can provide the perfect pick-me-up after a long day or a much-needed cathartic cry. There’s a sincerity present in the genre that is often lacking in pure comedy movies, and it’s this approach to romance and emotion that will never get old. Watching someone confess their feelings under heightened circumstances — running through traffic, in the pouring rain, in front of a huge crowd — often feels more heroic than watching someone save the world.

<![CDATA[The Projects That Prove John Crowley Is a Great Director]]> Romance is something that is very difficult to capture on screen, as it relies upon the great chemistry between two stars to make the central relationship seem believable. Sleepless in Seattle wouldn’t have been nearly as timeless if it wasn’t for the chemistry between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, and Casablanca wouldn’t be considered a classic if Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman weren’t so electrifying onscreen. However, a great romance film requires just as much great direction as an action film, and it takes a truly talented filmmaker to make those films so iconic. Few directors have been able to capture the essence of modern romance better than John Crowley.

<![CDATA[Best Romance TV Shows, Ranked]]> If there is one thing that drives us as human beings, it is love. It is part of our daily lives and in every one of our relationships, whether it is with a partner, family and friends, or even pets. And perhaps that is why romance is a theme that runs through virtually every film and television story, regardless of their genre. Every person who makes up an audience has felt love, and most have had their hearts broken at one time or another, which is why it is so easy to identify with different romantic characters in film and television and what they go through in terms of relationships. That is, to a great extent, what made the romantic genre so popular. Over the years, many elements of romantic movies and shows have become emblematic, from quotes and grand gestures of love all the way to entire scenes.
