People Shared What They Believe Are the Most Underrated Romantic Films of the Last 10 Years

What are your favorite romantic films from the past ten years? Ones that you think are pretty underrated and that might’ve flown under the radar?

Well, here’s a big list of them that you might want to add to your various streaming queues, courtesy of responses the Buzzfeed Community.

Let us begin!

1. Love, Simon (2018)

“First of all, it was one of the first films I had ever seen that featured a gay main character within a love story. I honestly cried multiple times. I felt like it was so modern and realistic. It really hit close to me.”

2. Call Me By Your Name (2017)

“It has to be one of the best love stories I’ve ever seen portrayed on film! Not only is the journey between the two of them so beautiful, raw, and heartfelt, but the soundtrack and scenery just makes you swoon even harder.”

3. Juliet, Naked (2018)

“Honestly, I think I might be the only person to have seen this movie. Ethan Hawke is perfect and it’s a lovely reminder of how much I loved him in the ’90s. Please go watch it so I have someone to talk about it with!”

4. Friends with Benefits (2011)

“Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake are hilarious and have amazing chemistry!”

5. Brooklyn (2015)

“First, I loved how they chose a real Irish actress to play the main character. Second, this film takes place so long ago, yet there are so many relatable topics to the present; This includes immigration and falling in love with someone who is the complete opposite of who you’re used to dating. Lastly, I really liked how it wasn’t just about dating, it also explored family and death.”

6. Sparrows Dance (2012)

“Noah Buschel made a great movie about an agoraphobic actress (Marin Ireland) who hasn’t left her apartment or changed her routine in years after a huge nervous breakdown. She begins to fall in love with the plumber she has to call when her toilet overflows. The plumber (Paul Sparks) is understanding and slowly brings her walls down. It’s honestly so good, and my description doesn’t do it justice.”

7. Beginners (2010)

“It’s about a guy named Oliver who’s basically reflecting on his father’s life after he passes away. His father came out at the age of 75 and began a relationship with a younger man, which pushed him to be more honest and open with himself and those around him. While Oliver begins exploring his father’s life, he meets and begins to fall in love with a woman who has her own father issues. It’s honestly such a beautiful movie that deserves more recognition.”

8. Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)

“It’s such a beautiful love story, but I think people dismiss it because they’re vampires.”

9. Man Up (2015)

“Starring Lake Bell and Simon Pegg, it’s a British film about two people who are perfect and hilarious together! It’s kind of an unconventional premise, but it ends up working so well. I’m shocked more people don’t know about it.”

10. Like Crazy (2012)

“It’s such a raw, realistic portrayal of what relationships are like in your early twenties. The jealousy, back and forth breaking up, and the reality of how hard it is to end a relationship even when you know it’s not working. I think a lot of people can watch this movie and will be reminded of their first adult relationship, and what it’s like to grow apart.”

11. Five Feet Apart (2019)

“It did not the get the credit it deserved! It was pushed aside as just another movie romanticizing illnesses, but it definitely did not romanticize cystic fibrosis at all! I started crying halfway through and didn’t stop. 10/10.”

12. The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

“It highlights a teenager, who is just starting to show signs of schizophrenia and depression, but is also learning about friendship and first loves. It hits me right in the feels every time I watch it. Also, Emma Watson’s hair basically defined the decade.”

13. Set It Up (2018)

“Honestly, my favorite rom-com ever! The movie has an amazing cast, with a funny and original storyline. The chemistry between the characters, the perfect slow burn that isn’t annoying, hilarious best friends, and a stereotypical dramatic airport scene. The movie has EVERYTHING in it you could ever want from a rom-com. The fact that more people don’t appreciate it is a straight up crime.”

14. The Giant Mechanical Man (2012)

“The Giant Mechanical Man with Jenna Fischer and Chris Messina is just a sweet movie about two regular people who are a little lost, and looking to be seen.”

15. The Switch (2010)

“The premise sounds like it would be one big Judd Apatow movie with crude humor, which I have no problem with, but it’s actually incredibly sweet. The relationship between Wally and Sebastian is heartwarming. I highly recommend, because it’s one of my favorite movies.”

Seriously Crazy Facts About “Crazy Rich Asians”

Kevin Kwan’s bestselling novel, Crazy Rich Asians, was recently released as a blockbuster movie by the same name and by all accounts, it was a smashing success. Some even went so far as to say the film is helping revive the rom-com genre.

The story follows college professor Rachel Chu as she travels with her fiance, Nick Young, to Singapore to meet his family. She soon discovers that his family is one of the richest in the country…and his mother is an ice queen (classic!).

The all-Asian cast created an instant buzz for the movie, which was critically acclaimed and one of the highest grossing films of the past ten years. Here are ten more crazy facts about Crazy Rich Asians.

1. Many people in Singapore criticized the movie by saying casting did not truly reflect their demographic because it lacked Chinese and Southeast Asian actors.

However, global reception of the movie has been much more positive.

2. Chu and his music supervisor searched YouTube to find singers fluent in Mandarin to provide covers for the soundtrack.

And if you’ve heard it, you know all that research definitely paid off.

3. One producer interested in the film project early on suggested Rachel be white.

Thankfully, Kwan optioned the project to Warner Bros instead for $1 to keep creative control and avoid any more stupid suggestions like that.

4. Michelle Yeoh, who plays domineering MIL Eleanor, is also Malaysian.

She and Golding have another fellow countryman in the film: Ronny Chieng, who played Eddie Cheng, Nick’s cousin.

5. The sequel has already been optioned, and it’s called China Rich Girlfriend.

Sounds like that’s more of a prequel in my opinion, but I’ll wait till it comes out to judge.

6. Wu has been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.

Obviously, the movie is more than just your average rom-com.

7. This was Golding’s first film.

Before starring in Crazy Rich Asians, Golding’s only on-camera experience was hosting a travel show.

8. The film, which had a production budget of $30 million, has grossed $238 million worldwide.

It out-grossed Sandra Bullock’s The Proposal and Sarah Jessica Parker’s Sex and the City, making it the top-grossing romantic comedy in the past ten years.

9. Constance Wu, who played Rachel Chu, feared scheduling conflicts with Fresh Off The Boat.

So she wrote a letter to director John Chu, convincing him to change the schedule because she connected with Rachel’s character so much.

10. Henry Golding being cast as Nick Young caused some controversy.

Golding’s father is white and his mother is Malaysian. Korean-American celebrity, Jamie Chung, took issue with the fact that Golding “wasn’t Chinese enough.” Golding graciously said he was happy that people were looking at the casting and voicing their opinions. Chung has since apologized.

What makes Crazy Rich Asians so special is what it highlights: just because people are the same ethnicity in a broad sense doesn’t make them alike (a pretty uncontroversial point that for some reason still needs to be emphasized in 2018). Every family and each individual carries unique experiences and backgrounds that set them apart – but at the same time, family and love are pretty universal.

Also, being rich doesn’t always mean having a lot of money.
