Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos’s follow-up to international break-out Dogtooth ditches that film’s knotted familial pathology, but refuses to be any less insular.
The Lobster (2015) Director: Yorgos Lanthimos Here are the 100 best romantic comedies of all time:ġ00. Also this important reminder: More than a few grand, successful rom-com gestures will just yield stalking charges and restraining orders when applied in the real world, so use a little common sense, why don’t ya?
Of course, while romantic comedies come in as many flavors as romance itself, this list is somewhat more limited, drawing mainly from Hollywood (though we’ve sprinkled in a few Bollywood classics by way of acknowledgement). So no matter your particular poison when it comes to scripted takes on love and relationships, let Paste’s list of the 100 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time provide you just what the doctor ordered. Whether because we are young and naïve, not-so-young and searching, or old and grumpy with a soft spot (or wistful memory), there’s always an appetite for fascinating meet-cutes, resolved comedies of errors and melted gruff exteriors.
As a genre, the romantic comedy has had pretty sharply defined highs (the 1940s and 1980s) and lows (1990s-2000s) based on viewer appetite and studio competence, but thanks to this thing we call “the human condition,” hope-laden fables showing how two people can, indeed, find and cherish one another despite all obstacles will never stay out of fashion long-no matter how soulless and cynical the industry.
