An ode to the rom-com

This is a post for all of the Cool Girls out there who’re still insisting Reservoir Dogs is their favourite film – when really, all of their Netflix suggestions point towards Clueless. There is nothing cosier than a romantic comedy. I’m referring to a very specific type: sure, I can quote Noah Calhoun's entire “I want all of you, every day speech” to Allie in The Notebook, and I recently tried to make my boyfriend write one of his university assignments on How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, but the ones that my inner hopeless romantic holds on a pedestal have to pre-date the noughties and star Tom Hanks - or someone with a similar haircut. I'm talking When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, 10 Things I Hate About You, and Pretty Woman.
