10 Things I hate About You (1999).  High-school romcom inspired by Shakespeare’s the Taming of the Shrew. 

You’ve Got Mail (1998). Story as old as time. Gentrifying mega bookstore CEO and Small-bookshop owner despise each other but unknown to them, they’ve been falling in love via AOL chat. 

To Have and Have Not (1944). A romance-war-adventure film featuring real life iconic couple Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Boggart. 

The Mask of Zorro (1998). A swashbuckling, Western taking place in Mexico. A rugged orphan turned into a gentleman and masked vigilante fights the Spanish and American empires and falls in love with an upper class woman. The movie that made millennial women fall in love with Catherine Zeta-Jones. 

The Lobster. (2015).  A black comedy drama. People are taken into a hotel to find a partner by 45 days or else they’ll turn into the animal of their choice. But there is a pack of loners who refuse to submit--falling in love when you least expect it. Starring Rachel Weisz.
