The perfect way to relax on a rainy is to pull out the ol’ laptop and watch a movie in bed. But what kind of movie is the best to watch on these kinds of days? If you want to believe in love again, the obvious choice is a romance, but on the other hand, you want a movie you can come away from feeling happy, rather than sad. Hence the birth of the magnificent genre called romantic-comedy/”rom-com” for short. With that being said, here’s a list I’ve compiled of some of my favorite rom-coms and why you should watch them on rainy days, or any day for that matter.

1. "Stuck in Love"

• American romantic comedy-drama
• Lily Collins stars in another magnificent rom-com
• One of Logan Lerman’s best movies since The Perks
• Sam is such a BADASS
• Lou is the most precious character who you’ll love forever
• 3 different intertwining love stories
• A story about writers and books also!!

2. "Love, Rosie"

• British-German romantic comedy-drama
• Sam Claflin AND Lily Collins in one movie!!
• A massively underrated film that no one knows about
