5 Romantic Comedies That Are Inexplicably Good

Groundhog Day

Let me tell you, right now, that if you want your romantic movie to not suck, having Bill Murray on board can really help. While some may look at Groundhog Day as straight comedy, it clearly isn’t. This one gets filed under romantic comedy because that is sort of what the whole plot builds to.

I don’t think I need to tell you all the story of Groundhog Day at this point, as almost everyone out there has seen this film, several times. But let us not forget that though Bill Murray’s character, Phil, may take advantage of his “repeating day” at times, the end result is really just one guy trying to get it right, and I think a lot of people have trouble figuring that out.

Yes, he may learn to dodge puddles, but he also figures out how to land the girl and make it the best day of his life. I started the list with this one because most people would watch it and not even realize until it is over that it was a rom-com. And that is how you do rom-com right.
