First of all, I must tell you; I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of compiling these lists of the best romantic comedies. There were so many great movies and each had its own magic. So this list was a tough one to compile. Actually, I am not much of a fan of the sappy romantic movies, but I like such comedy movies because they give you all the drama of a love story in a simple light hearted way. They are also good movies to watch when bored. So here it is folks, the lists of the best romantic comedies, both new and old.
