Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: If you could erase an entire relationship from your memory — the good times as well as the bad — would you? Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet give heartbreaking performances as ex-lovers who do just that, only to wind up subconsciously missing each other anyway.
(Alternate: Brokeback Mountain)
500 Days of Summer: It's hard to imagine anyone not returning Joseph Gordon Levitt's affections, but alas, even he isn't immune to heartbreak when Summer (Zooey Deschanel) ends their budding romance. As the narrator says, this isn't a love story — but it is a story about love and how we put ourselves back together when we lose it.
(Alternate: High Fidelity)
Bridesmaids: This movie — starring Kristen Wiig and Rose Byrne as rivals competing to be maid-of-honor for their mutual BFF (Maya Rudolph) — nails the best and worst parts of female friendship. Who says your soulmate has to be a romantic partner?
(Alternate: Romy and Michele's High School Reunion)
Fifty Shades of Grey: Christian's tastes may be singular, but yours don't have to be. BDSM not your style? Stick to the elevator makeout and the first sex scene. Curious about trying new things? Fast-forward to some of the later rendezvous. At the very least, this is a movie about two good-looking people (Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan) who have a lot of R-rated escapades.
(Alternate: Y Tu Mamá También)
When Harry Met Sally: Come for Meg Ryan's fake orgasm scene, stay for Billy Crystal's pitch-perfect New Year's Eve speech. Because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
(Alternate: Friends With Benefits)
Legally Blonde: Sure, the movie starts with Elle (Reese Witherspoon) trying to win back her lame ex-boyfriend by enrolling in Harvard Law (what, like it's hard?), but ultimately she wises up, reclaims her independence and becomes a badass attorney. There's a secondary love story in there with Luke Wilson, but Elle's real happy ending has nothing to do with a man.
(Alternate: The Devil Wears Prada)
Forgetting Sarah Marshall: Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) is a wreck when he winds up at the same Hawaiian resort where his famous ex-girlfriend (Kristen Bell) is vacationing with her famous new boyfriend (Russell Brand). But thanks to the friendly and beautiful hotel concierge Rachel (Mila Kunis), he gets his groove back — and then some. If only everyone could just jet off to some tropical locale for a little R&R after getting dumped.
(Alternate: The Wedding Singer)
Pretty Woman: Edward (Richard Gere) conquering his fear of heights to woo sweet prostitute Vivian (Julia Roberts) by fulfilling her "princess in a tower" fantasy is why so many of us have unrealistic expectations about love.
(Alternate: Say Anything)
Fever Pitch: The early stages of Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon's relationship are like the first days of a new baseball season — thrilling, unpredictable and awash in unspoiled possibility. Things get more complicated from there (as they always do), but it's impossible not to root for them anyway.
(Alternate: Bull Durham)
Casablanca: There's a reason this is one of the most iconic romances in cinematic history. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman are mesmerizing, even 75 years after the movie's release. As the song goes, the world will always welcome lovers, as time goes by.
(Alternate: An Affair to Remember)
The Notebook: Most people don't find their soulmates when they're teenagers, but most people aren't Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachel McAdams). Based on Nicholas Sparks' bestseller, this movie cemented Gosling's heartthrob status a million times over and set the gold standard for #relationshipgoals.
(Alternate: Love & Basketball)
