Romantic comedy films or rom-com"s are a sub-genre of comedy films as well as of romance films. The basic plot of a romantic comedy is always the same, that two people meet, banter with each other, but despite an attraction obvious to the audience do not become romantically involved because of some internal factor (on the surface, they do not like each other) or an external barrier (one is romantically involved with another person, for instance). At some point, after various comic scenes, they are parted for some reason. One partner or the other then realizes that they are perfect for each other, and (often after some spectacular effort, sometimes termed the Grand Gesture, and/or incredible coincidence) they meet again, they declare undying love for each other, and disappear off into the sunset together.
Of course, there are innumerable variations on this basic plotline. It is not necessary that the two lead characters end up in each other's arms (e.g. My Best Friend's Wedding). The film may be a rumination on the impossibility of love, as in Annie Hall, considered by many the apogee of the genre. Romantic comedy films are sometimes pejoratively described as "chick flicks."

That is a tough question! I think it would have to be either Pretty In Pink, Moulin Rouge of the 1940s comedy, His Girl Friday. They're all really different but all so romantic. I loved watching Pretty in Pink when I was a teenager - I dreamt Andrew McCarthy would come along and sweep me off my feet - ha ha!

I have two, and they are my favourite movies as well, Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.
Nothing beats the feelings of the two younger characters in the first, and nothing beats the revelations in the second. Romantic films shouldnm't always be about happy ever after.
