Here comes a much awaited mid-week holiday and don’t we all love to snuggle and watch movies that we may have watched 100 times but still not got over it? We bring to you a list of classics that can be binge-watched this holiday without any second thoughts:
1. Chasing Amy (1997)
A comic book artist falls in love with a lesbian, despite the objections of all their friends. They’re able to find some happiness, but her past remains an issue.
2. Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)
A composer gets unexpectedly dumped by his actress girlfriend. To get over her, he takes a trip by himself to Hawaii, only to discover she’s staying in the same hotel with a world famous rock star.
3. 50 First Dates (2004)
Sea life veterinarian and womanizer falls for an amnesiac who forgets who he is every day.
4 Notting Hill (1999)
In some ways, Notting Hill is the ultimate fantasy. A regular guy has a run-in with a beautiful celebrity and the two hit it off. They live happily ever after. Not quite. The reality of Anna Scott’s life is a bit more complicated. She’s not as happy as her red carpet smiles would suggest.
5. My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997)
The relationship of two longtime best friends is upended when he announces he’s going to marry another woman. Weirded out and kinda pissed off, she travels to Chicago to break up his wedding and win him for herself.
6. Breakfast At Tiffanys (1961)
She’s a New York socialite who associates with mobsters and dates a wide range of rich men. Her new neighbor is a struggling writer, but there’s something about him that feels right.
7. You’ve Got Mail (1998)
A wealthy executive whose family owns a popular mega-chain of bookstores begins an online relationship with a woman who owns a mom and pop bookstore around the corner. Initially, they’re unaware of the other’s true identity, allowing them to feud by day and fall in love by night.
8. The Wedding Singer (1998)
Adam Sandler’s characters might be effectively undateable in many of his projects, but in The Wedding Singer, there’s just enough common sense, lovability and eventually, drive behind the emotional outbursts to understand why a cute girl in an awful relationship would fall for him. Here, that cute girl is played by Drew Barrymore in all of her loopy glory, and the romantic chemistry is easily the best of both actors’ careers.
9. Pretty Woman (1990)
Sure, we could focus in the absurdity of staging a romantic story around a call girl and a john, but the charm of Pretty Woman develops from the nature of its characters, particularly as it relates to Edward and Vivian.
10. Sleepless in Seattle
Inspired by An Affair to Remember, Sleepless in Seattle falls a bit closer to drama than it does comedy, what with its focus on a single father who’s so grief-stricken over the loss of his wife that he can’t sleep. But there is humor and a timeless kind of charm about this story, especially as we watch Annie and Sam separately ponder the concept of soul mates.
