Best 90s Romantic Comedy Film

They made us laugh. They made us cry. They made us swoon over men with floppy hair and puka shell necklaces. Romantic comedies of the 1990s! You love them, we love them, and Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan's bank accounts CERTAINLY loved them. It's been literally decades since these comedy classics graced the silver screens and Blockbuster Video shelves. And now the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to determine the Best Romantic Comedy Film of the 1990s! We’re talking Pretty Woman, 10 Things I Hate About You, Sleepless in Seattle, The Wedding Singer, Groundhog Day, Jerry Maguire, You’ve Got Mail, Father of the Bride, My Best Friend’s Wedding, and more!

Host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Amma Marfo, Jennifer Chen, and Joelle Boedecker jump back to the 90s to relive the most swoon-worthy comedies of the decade before they name the best 90s RomCom!
