Email to Prove Rom-Com are Different!

When I was a teenager, I read a book by Sidney sheldon and told my cousin brother-
“Sidney sheldon is an awful writer”
My brother didn’t argue with me he said-
Which book did you read?
when I told him the name, –Bloodline he said its one of the worst and told me to read “Master of the game”
20 years later, Sidney Sheldon is my favorite author and I am grateful to my bro
for letting me know my choice of book was not correct to judge the writer.
I would have missed reading the some of the best thriller+mystery novels  had
I not pushed my horizons.
 
So I asked all my friends on FB and here is the list of all the best
Rom-Coms of all time  and 3 imp points-
1)Most are hits and  allare classics- widely liked by public
2) I didn’t include any Meg ryan’s movies though hers are the best (You’ve got mail, When Harry Met Sally)
3) None of these have the cliched ending (In some the hero heroine do Not end up together)
4) Main in Manhattan was Jennifer’s biggest hit but it was not the “Biggest hit” in rom-com. (its not even in top 50 list of rom-coms anywhere)
 
 
Not necessary for you to watch all of them- not necessary for you to even reply to this mail-
its just so that you know there is a genre- which is hardly made in India and which is
the one we can very easily watch with our kids.  [coz its rom-com not romantic with hard core love scenes]

List is ordered by my preference
