Catherin Zeta-Jones and Lili Taylor are both fantastic in their roles as they highlight the flaws of the main characters. It's also got the best soundtrack a romantic comedy can get.
My Sassy Girl (2001)
If you've seen every single American rom-com, then My Sassy Girl should be next on your list. In 2001, it was one of South Korea's five highest-grossing films in history. But do yourself a favor and skip the American remake.
An engineering student falls for a manic pixie dream girl. Obviously, 'opposites attract' is the trope for this film as they dive deeply into romantic adventures and emotional situations. The story follows the two for years so we can really watch them grow together.
Go Fish (1994)
This romantic comedy was the first LGBTQ film that didn't involve a character death or coming out as a huge plot point. It was also filmed on a $15,000 budget and made over $2.6 million. Definitely a success!
