Romantic comedies have become one of the most beloved genres throughout cinematic history. They are entertaining, they are funny, they are dramatic, and they produce some of the most swoonworthy and heartwarming moments that one could ever dream of. What could possibly make them any better? Well, perhaps if they were set back in time.
9 'Hysteria' Director: Tanya Wexler Set in London in the late 19th century, a struggling physician, Dr. Mortimer Granville , is hired by Dr. Robert Dalrymple to aid in providing treatments for women diagnosed with hysteria. But upon taking part in the manual medical procedures, an event transpires that leads to Granville inventing the first vibrator, all in the name of science.
Vibrant and whimsical in its visuals and tone, this version of Emma radiates its own modern flare, despite its deeply classical setting. Indeed, with its interweaving of contemporary social themes, witty comedic gags, and occasional flashes of nudity - this Jane Austen adaption is truly fun and fresh. What's even better is how they explore the relationship between Emma and Mr. Knightley .
Controversy struck when Hepburn was cast as Eliza instead of the character's Broadway originator, the then relatively unknown Dame Julie Andrews. That said, despite all the drama, My Fair Lady has since become one of the most beloved golden age musicals of all time. It's costumes remain striking to the eyes, as does the songs to one's ears. And even though their relationship seems a little icky at first, the connection between Eliza and Higgins is clear.
Where some may see Shakespeare in Love as an odd fan-fic of the poet's life, there's no denying how it's both entertaining and comforting. Indeed, from the compelling romance plot, driven masterfully by the leads' electrifying chemistry, to the delightful humor laced throughout the narrative and the ensemble's enthusiasm - what's not to love? Sure, there may be tons of historical innacuracies, but this was never marketed as documentary. This was made for a good time.
