Romancing The Stone
Joan Wilder writes adventure romance novels and she’s made quite a name for herself. You’d think she’s had a wild life herself, but she’s actually just a lonely cat lady. But when her sister gets abducted in Colombia, she goes out to help her. Adventurer Jack Colton will reluctantly help her on her quest whether he likes it or not. This is a forgotten classic that holds up decades later. Watch Romancing the Stone on Amazon Video.
Miss Congeniality
To get back in the good graces of her superiors, FBI agent Gracie Hart goes undercover in the Miss United States pageant to stop a terrorist attack. This classic gave us some great bangers when it comes to quotes, especially with Heather Burns hilarious answer to what her perfect date would be. “I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.” Watch Miss Congeniality on Amazon Video.
The Lost City
Adventure romance author Loretta Sage gets abducted and sent to a remote tropical island by a crazed billionaire. Her cover model vows to rescue her, even if he doesn’t necessarily have the skills. If you’re thinking this sounds a lot like Romancing the Stone, you’re not alone. Still, it’s different enough–and very funny and cute–that both movies deserve spots on this list. Watch The Lost City on Hulu and Paramount+.
The Bounty Hunter
What do you do when you’re a bounty hunter and your ex-wife skips out on her bond hearing? Attempt to apprehend her, of course. If you want to see action and a fair bit of chemistry between Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler, this is a good choice–especially if you love the enemies-to-lovers dynamic. Watch The Bounty Hunter on Hulu.
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Scott Pilgrim is in love with quirky “manic pixie dream girl” Ramona Flowers, but if he wants to be with her, he has to battle her seven evil exes. Based on a graphic novel series, this movie seamlessly delivers comic book-style action, video game references, and a whole lot of cute Millennial-core romance. Watch Scott Pilgrim vs. The World on Max.
Mr. Right
It’s so nice to have an intimate connection with someone. It’s even better when one of you is a former CIA agent and the other has a similar innate ability to catch knives thrown at their face at lightspeed. This cute, silly, and underrated action rom com is proof that there’s someone for everyone. Watch Mr. Right on Amazon Video.
Date Night
Feeling like their marriage has become stagnant, Phil and Claire set out for a dinner at a trendy restaurant. But when they unwittingly steal the reservation of a couple who are embroiled in crime and intrigue, they find themselves accidentally thrust into a night of action they never anticipated. Watch Date Night on Max.
