Lately, however, the film industry has pointed its focus on action, thrill, adventure, and science fiction. It may feel like there aren’t many rom-coms in theaters, so it can be fun to take a look back at some of the best romantic comedies from the past decades.
Are you in the mood for an easy to watch, funny, romantic movie but don’t know where to start? Here are some of the best rom-coms you can watch at home.

3.Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)
Some Kind of Wonderful movie is based on the good old love triangle theme, but (spoiler alert!) ends up in the most weird way, where a girl does not care about the emotions of the boy, while the other girls are ready to do anything to get him.
