Eddie Possehl is a dynamic and driven writer/director with a passion for the written word and all things film, television, comics, and games.
Before franchises and superhero films dominated the cinema landscape, romantic comedies were a fan-favorite and reliable genre. The golden age of rom-coms sprouted in the 1980s and 1990s, producing some of the genre's best and most beloved examples. However, rom-coms got their big start as early as the 1930s, with major films like 1934's seminal hit It Happened One Night.
The saying, "They don't make 'em like this anymore," could not be more true when it comes to The Apartment. Noted as one of the best romantic comedy films of the 1960s, The Apartment is a study of how much of themselves people are willing to offer to get what they want. A huge upside to this film that helps it feel fresh is the character of Fran, who is not written as a stereotype; she is sympathetic and engaging, with a deep, layered arc and clear motivations.
There's no question as to why the cast and crew of Moonstruck received numerous accolades upon the film's release. As the love stories weave and tangle themselves together, the film becomes evermore entertaining. Cher's performance was widely loved and remains a standout of the rom-com genre, a spirited, emotional, vulnerable, and tremendously relatable portrayal of doubt and desire that led to her winning an Academy Award for Best Actress.
Sleepless in Seattle takes quite the risk for a rom-com, keeping its two love birds separated for the majority of the film, but many were surprised to find that it actually worked. The script is incredibly quick-witted and, of course, Hanks and Ryan's chemistry is astounding as always, which enhances said script tenfold. Iconic and timeless, Sleepless in Seattle is one of Ryan and Hanks' funniest movies without ever forgetting the romance.
