Welcome back to the countdown, I hope you have been enjoying these movies of passion, fun and love. Before counting down the top eight rom-coms of all time, I want to acknowledge a few movies that didn’t make the list that deserve honorable mention: “You’ve Got Mail,” “Monsoon Wedding,” “Hope Floats,” “Her,” “Dave” and “The American President.”
Do you need to make more popcorn before watching this round of films? If so, consider being adventurous, by adding flavorings such as: crab boil, pepperoni pizza, maple-pecan, chile lime, curry coconut with cashews or southern BBQ to the munchies. Hawaiian hurricane popcorn with mochi crunch and nori is also a yummy option.
