What happened to romantic comedies? I recently enjoyed Little Italy (thank you for sharing @35hara ), which is from 2018. I remember that genre being everywhere, but last 10-15 years it‘s like love vanished from film and tv. If you don‘t agree - please share your recommendations.

When so many of the Gen Z'ers bang on about ployamoury and open relationships and all that bollocks, the rom com is 100% gonna die
In the 90s-00s, we had a tv on all the time and there were basically three genres in it - goofy crimi, action in the weekend evenings, and romantic comedies all around. And this is just a silly thought, but it has this effect on me that even I didn‘t see love around me, the signal was that it‘s out there, so go look for it. Maybe (and this is a huge maybe), if genz and younger gens received some similar signal, they could benefit from it. I don‘t mean exactly rom coms, but the classic love signal simply isn‘t out there anymore.

I agree 🤔🫂🫂🫂 so many sequels instead 😭 I highly recommend ‘Love Rosie’, ‘about time’, and ‘while you were sleeping’ 🥹 those films stuck with me
