Romantic Comedy movies (6)
Quiet Man, The (USA, 1952)
An almost perfect movie, with an actually perfect screen couple in John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara
Rating: 10/10
Dream Wife (USA, 1953)
The casual sexism and racism of this Cary Grant-Deborah Kerr rom-com have not aged well at all
Rating: 4/10
Some Kind of Wonderful (USA, 1987)
For my money, the very best of the John Hughes movies, even if everyone looks way too old to be in school
Rating: 8/10
Paperback Hero (AUS, 1999)
Australian rom-com which benefits from Hugh Jackman's pre-Hollywood charm and an engaging cast
Rating: 7/10
Animal Attraction (USA, 2001)
Contrived rom-com looks good but fails to satisfy, despite the best efforts of Hugh Jackman and Ashley Judd
Rating: 5/10
Kissing Jessica Stein (USA, 2002)
Unsatisfying rom-com adapted from the stars’ own play which never really escapes its theatrical talkiness
Rating: 4/10
