The Best of '90s Romantic Comedies

Freddy Prince Jr., Tom Hanks, and Meg Ryan are just the tip of the iceberg.

In today's generation, the idea of cinema has taken a different direction. Comedy isn't what we thought comedy was 20 years ago. Romance isn't what we thought romance was 20 years ago. In my opinion, romantic comedies have almost changed for the worse -- nudity, language, and overall inappropriate content has become so heightened that what romantic comedies once were, are no more. But, thanks to Netflix and DVDs (yes, some of us still use those), we can watch the 90's romantic comedies over and over. These are the rom coms that will top every other rom-com out there.

1. Sleepless in Seattle

Recently widowed, a man's son calls a radio talk show host in search for a new wife for his father. Meg Ryan and Tom Hank's witty humor is a must-see in this 1993 romantic comedy.

2. You've Got Mail

Oblivious of one another's true identity, competing bookstore owners, one of a small-town bookstore and the other of a larger corporate bookstore, begin an internet romance -- little do they know they have much in common. Here's to another amazing 1998 rom-com with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks!

3. While You Were Sleeping

Alone on the holidays, a woman saves her longtime crush when he falls from the train platform, only to pretend to be his fiancé...

Sandra Bullock is definitely a favorite when it comes to romantic comedies, and in this 1995 blockbuster, she doesn't disappoint.

4. She's All That

When a high school jock bets that he can turn a "nerdy/artsy" classmate into a beautiful prom date...things start to unwind. Freddy Prince Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook are the perfect onscreen couple for this 1999 romantic/teen comedy.

5. Never Been Kissed

As part of her research for a story she's cooking up, a news reporter poses as a high school student and experiences things she never had the chance to. Drew Barrymore plays an unforgettable role in this 1999 teen rom-com.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
