The best theatrically-released post-2000 rom-coms,* a definitive ranking**
*Vaguely traditional rom-coms, with some allowance on the edges where blurring into other genres (so excluding things like Past Lives for not being comedic enough and What Do We See When We Look at the Sky for being too philosophical, but allowing things like Safety Not Guaranteed, which blurs into sci-fi)
