We couldn’t have a list of romance movies and ignore the teen subgenre. High-school-set romances can feel a bit repetitive and contrived after a while. Jock meets geeky girl, popular girl falls for the nerdy loser – we’ve seen it all before. However, Netflix's (and based on a novel by Jenny Han) To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, puts a different spin on the tired genre, focusing on the protagonist, and her relationship with her family as well as a love interest. Lara Jean Covey (Lana Condor)...

A film that works to draw out the more realistic and somber truths of relationships, Only You follows Elena (Laia Costa) and Jake (Josh O’Connor) who meet one night while fighting over a taxi. As they fall in love, it seems that their relationship presents more challenges each day. Their 9-year age gap is something they can get past, but when they start trying for a baby, the journey of IVF, medication, and disappointment seems too overwhelming. The couple must then face the choice between ea...
Directed by Greg Berlanti
The problem with a lot of teen romances is that the heroes are, obviously, teenagers. They are young and they are inexperienced, and it’s sometimes difficult to root for their love stories to have picture-perfect endings because we know their lives will be long, and filled with heartaches and romances for decades to come. Greg Berlanti’s Love, Simondeftly evades these notions, because it’s a coming-of-age story first and foremost, and what counts is how the protagonist grows upon having his f...
Directed by John Carney
John Carney is famous the world over for making passionate, character-driven films full of awesome music, like Begin Again andSing Street. But his masterpiece is still this infectiously low-key, lovely romance. Once stars Glen Hansard as a busker in Ireland, working in his father’s vacuum cleaner repair shop when he isn’t singing songs about his latest breakup in the street. When his music catches the ear of a Czech immigrant played by Markéta Irglová, they strike up a friendship based on mut...
Directed by Richard Tanne
Richard Tanne’s intimate and absorbing Southside With You would be one of the best romantic movies of the decade if its subjects were fictional. That it’s also based on the true story of Barack Obama and Michelle Robinson’s first date is but another intriguing selling point. Southside With You follows Robinson, played by Tika Sumpter, as a young lawyer and Obama’s supervisor, who agrees to meet the summer associate for a community meeting. She hesitantly agrees to meet up earlier, but has no...

Quite a lot of superhero movies have a love story to tell amidst all the costumed crimefighting, but for some reason, it’s the one about a mass murderer who knows he’s in a movie that stands out. Deadpool stars Ryan Reynolds as a mercenary who finds the love of his life, Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), a hilarious, sensitive, intelligent, and sensual partner who makes his life worth living. So when he finds out he’s dying of cancer he flees to spare her the horror of watching him die, and he runs...
Directed by Steven Shainberg
Not everybody loves each other the same way, and yet, few romantic movies seem genuinely interested in truly exploring a lifestyle of sexual kink. At least we have Steven Shainberg’s Secretary. Maggie Gyllenhaal gives an electric performance as a young woman who discovers, through an unexpected BDSM relationship with her new boss, that she’s a submissive who yearns for just the right dom. James Spaderplays her new lover, but even he doesn’t seem wholly comfortable with who he is and what he r...

Easily one of the most influential and iconic romantic comedies of its era, (500) Days of Summer set the mold and status quo for many self-aware and convention-breaking rom-coms in the 2010s. The film follows the story of Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a hopeless romantic and greeting-card writer who has his life completely flipped upside down when his girlfriend, Summer (Zooey Deschanel), breaks up with him. The breakup causes him to reflect and reminisce on their 500-day-long relationship in o...
