A precursor: I often love cheesy movies. I often love silly movies. I often love movies that are the exact opposite of "critically acclaimed." This list is by no means based in anything other than my personal opinion! (Also, I'm probably forgetting one or two that I love, because I'm doing this list on the fly at work instead of at my house with my beloved DVD collection.)
Here we go!
10. What's Your Number
Yes, this movie is super goofy. But I thought it was adorable, it makes me happy to watch it, and let's admit it - Chris Evans is HOT.
9. Crazy, Stupid, Love
I FINALLY got around to watching this one, and it had all the requirements for my list - it made me laugh, it made me ignore the other crap I was doing, and it left me with a happy giddy feeling. And the scene below? The one with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling? SO awesome.
When this movie came out, I saw it five times. In the theater. That's practically unheard of for me! (Granted, I was 16, but still.)
7. Definitely, Maybe
How freakin' cute is Ryan Reynolds in this movie? I love how sweet, sad, and happy it is.
6. Sweet Home Alabama
This is one of those movies I will always stop on when it's on TV. It makes me all sorts of giggly. And makes me want to go to the South.
5. P.S. I Love You
When I had finally watched this movie enough to not ugly cry (which took approximately four times, by the way), I discovered it was a great romantic comedy. And Gerard Butler singing "Galway Girl?" Amazing.
4. Leap Year
I saw this one multiple times in theaters, too, but didn't quite make it to five. I love this movie, possibly because of it's locations, possibly because of Matthew Goode, and possibly because it's just so silly.
3. The Princess Bride
Duh. I mean, this one is a classic for a list like this. It's romantic. It's funny. It's ridiculous. It has Peter Falk and a happy ending. Also, Sean likes this movie too, which is a bonus for me.
2. A Lot Like Love
Super underrated, and one of my favorite movies of all time. It's just a perfect love story - and more realistic than most, as it has the main characters not get their timing right for a while. If you haven't seen this movie, go out and watch it immediately.
1. Love Actually
I could watch this movie over and over and over again. It's one of the closest things I've ever seen to the "perfect" movie. To this day I still can't decide what my favorite storyline is!
Runner(s) up:
Dirty Dancing
It's a classic, and it's great. But I've owned it for years and it's still in its plastic, because I've never had that "I need to watch that movie RIGHT NOW" feeling with it. But seriously, WHY is this final scene so awesome??? (Sorry, You Tube won't let me embed the video!)
America's Sweethearts
Because John Cusack is amazing, and I love seeing Catherine Zeta Jones play a total bitch. And it has some of the greatest one-liners ever!
Shakespeare In Love
It didn't make the list, primarily because I like my favorite movies to have happy endings. What can I say, I'm girly like that. But it's still such a great love story, and I usually will watch it if it's on TV somewhere.
Letters To Juliet
The movie isn't the best. The acting isn't the best. But I love that it takes place in Italy, and it's so cute.
10 Things I Hate About You
Oh, how I loved this movie when I was younger! I still love it. In fact, it may be time to watch it again and re-live some of that high school angst. My favorites were, obviously, Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. Who could resist Heath Ledger singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You???" This "paintball" scene was always my favorite, though.
Are there any movies that aren't on here that would make your list?

The only movie on your list that doesn't make me want to chew my own arms off is Princess Bride, and that's only because it is SO ridiculous and cheesy that it's hilarious.
But to your list I would add As Good As It Gets, because it combines both romance and verbal abuse.
Such a fantastic list! I totally adore your picks and thank you for the link:) Have a wonderful weekend. xo
