Rom-coms are an under-appreciated genre. People obviously watch and love them, but they’re not exactly all over the ballot come award season. It’s also usually considered a genre marketed mostly towards women. But that sure as hell doesn’t mean that guys can’t have strong feelings on them. Because they do. They might not talk about it a lot, but they do.

1. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
“It’s a really good breakup movie. It’s funny, it has a lot of heart, and I like that the lesson is that these two people needed to focus on fixing themselves first. They weren’t going to fix each other.” — Will, 28
2. Anything John Hughes
“My mom and I used to have movie nights when I was growing up, so I’m a sucker for anything John Hughes. We went through an 80s movie phase and all that stuff still makes me nostalgic.” — Alex, 27
3. Love, Actually
“I have no problem watching Love, Actually every Christmas. Even if I don’t really get why two people who don’t speak the same language would get married, it’s funny and the guy from The Walking Dead is in it.” — Scott, 28

4. America’s Sweethearts
“Anything with John Cusack. [This] one with Christopher Walken where they’re making a movie but he debuts some crazy documentary instead, made me laugh a lot.” — Kyle,28
5. Titanic
“I wanted to say Titanic but apparently that doesn’t count as a ‘rom-com.’ [It’s] so good though because the first half of the movie is all romance and the second half is mostly action. ”— Seth, 28
6. “Say Anything”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but it’s pretty great.” — Owen, 27
7. “The Wedding Singer”
“I know a lot of people hate this movie, but I have a soft spot for The Wedding Singer. The song he sings at the end makes me tear up every time.” — Nick, 27
8. Anything Nicholas Sparks
“I don’t own the movies or anything, but I’ll always watch them when my girlfriend tells me to. The nice thing is she thinks I don’t like them, so then I get to pick the next movie.” — Pete, 28

9. “Hitch”
“It just ticks off the boxes for me. It’s goofy and light enough, but honestly I just think its that Will Smith can make anything watchable.” — Aaron*, 27
10. Anything Matthew McConaughey
“Remember when, like right before True Detective, Matthew McConaughey made a bunch of rom-coms? I saw all of them.” — Eric, 28

11. Love, Actually
“I think what works for me about it is that it doubles as a Christmas movie. So you get a two-for-one when you need to watch something romantic around the holidays.” — Tom, 26
12. Jerry Maguire
“Jerry Maguire. No question. It’s not just a good rom-com, it’s a good movie.” — Jake, 27
13. Just Friends
“I think [it’s] pretty underrated. It’s got a great cast, plus Anna Farris playing a crazy pop star. And it’s sort of cheesy but that’s part of the charm.” — Marc, 28
14. Serendipity
“F*cking Serendipity! It’s so good. What a great premise. Plus, it taught me a whole new word.”— Kevin, 28
15. Sweet Home Alabama
“I think it’s one of the few movies where I thought maybe they won’t actually get together in the end.”—Max, 27
16. Notting Hill
“It’s a classic. Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant at the top of their rom-com game.”—Rob, 26
