A popular perception of romantic comedies is that they are over the top cheesy, with less than realistic situations for their heroes to deal with. While it is true that many romantic comedies can fall into those tropes, not every single movie in the genre falls for the same mistake.
Especially the ones that Amazon Prime is offering on their platform. There are plenty of all-time classic rom-com movies and everyone can find at least a dozen movies to unwind on. To make things easier, the reader can choose from the list below and not just the movie itself but why this movie is compatible according to their Chinese zodiac sign. Pick and have fun!
Year Of The Rat: The Cutting Edge
The Cutting Edge is a movie that talks about the story of two young people, a mercurial figure skater (Moira Kelly) and a former hockey player (D.B. Sweeney) who during the process of training to qualify for the Olympics as a figure skating duo - simply fall in love. The movie is not just filled with romance but there is also a lot of technicalities (appealing for fans of sports movies) and as well to the Chinese zodiac sign Rat. Since they are smart but usually lack the courage for anything that is far out from their comfort zone this movie might be the push that they actually need.
Year Of The Ox: Bridget Jones’s Diary
Bridget Jones’s Diary is an all-time classic romantic comedy where the Ox will have a lot of fun watching a romantic comedy where an assistant at a London book publisher (Renée Zellweger) struggles to choose between two gorgeous men. The Ox is a strong and dependable character who will have a blast laughing at the silly heroine who is very clumsy and the total opposite, sometimes everyone needs to a chaotic scene to be able to appreciate their own blessings in life.
Year Of The Tiger: No Strings Attached
No Strings Attached is a rom-com that will remind Tigers that stubbornness is not always the way to go. When two childhood friends, a successful doctor (Ashton Kutcher), decide to fool around, things turn out exactly the opposite of what they were expecting. If a deal was made things can change and although Tigers are as brave as they can be they need to learn how to let go and clear their head fr a moment.
Year Of The Rabbit: Home Again
Home Again is a movie about a single mother (Reese Witherspoon) who decides to allow three aspiring filmmakers to stay at her pool house and as she gives them a roof over their head they bring excitement and purpose in her life.
The tender and sweet rabbit would love the warmth of the scenes, the elegant dialogue, and the ever so often melancholy that takes over from time to time. The movie is about family, friendships, romantic moments and the Rabbit would simply enjoy everything that the scenes have to offer.
Year Of The Dragon: Hitch
Hitch is a romantic movie that stars the ever so handsome Will Smith who plays Hitch, a matchmaker who helps men manipulate women to win them over and the gorgeous Eva Mendes, a journalist who is on a mission to expose Hitch for the work he does. The Dragon will associate with both Smith and Mendes due to their ambition, and quick wit. Both characters are very headstrong and show incredible strength so the Dragon will enjoy shifting from one character to the other.
Year Of The Snake: The Accidental Husband
The Accidental Husband is a comedy that the Snake would absolutely love. The plot is about a famous radio host (Uma Turman) who is about to get married to her dream man, and a firefighter (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) who will try to ruin her day since she ruined his marriage by advising his fiancee to leave him. The enigmatic and very intuitive Snake will enjoy the plot and will definitely try to travel the scenes just before they happen. They will be probably right since they are the symbol of wisdom.
Year Of The Horse: Elizabethtown
Elizabethtown is a romantic movie that features (Orlando Bloom) as a young man who returns home following the death of his father and a local girl (Kirsten Dunst) who turns out to be the flight attendant on the flight back home where he is ironically the only enger. The zodiac sign Horse would love the plot since they are always energetic and love interesting life scenarios. Also, they are suckers when it comes to love, romance, and a good one on one conversation.
Year Of The Goat: Me Before You
Me Before You is a movie that will make every person shed at least one tear. Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin are the perfect cast for the roles they portray, a cheerful woman who is employed to take care of the extremely handsome yet deeply depressed quadriplegic man. The ever so sympathetic, gentle, and kind heart Goat will have a lovely cry fest (as probably many others) as they deeply connect to the characters and the plot of the movie.
Year Of The Monkey: Breakfast at Tiffany’s
The magnetic personality of the Monkey would go for the iconic Breakfast at Tiffany’s every single time. What could be better for a clever person with a colorful sense of humor to experience the extroverted socialite that is Hepburn, her issue with making relationships work is more than obvious but then again Moneky often struggle on that field too? Also, who doesn't love to hear Hepburn sing on her terrace, the good old Moon River?
Year Of The Rooster: The Choice
The Choice is one of many adaptations of a Nicholas Sparks novel which the Rooster will absolutely take pleasure in. This Zodiac sign is a sucker for a good plot twist and the movie has exactly that, a woman Gabby Holland (Teresa Palmer) who is about to get married changes her mind because she falls in love with her new neighbor Travis Shaw (Benjamin Walker). Classic, timeless and absolutely romantic
