This has to be one of the most loved movies, considering the effervescent charm of Audrey Hepburn. This is a movie is what you called a love letter to New York. A freewheeling party girl who courses around the city, questioning life whilst still having a good time. And when she falls for a rarely employed writer, Paul Varjak, gosh! A love story like that is just so flawless. The stellar acting and unique storytelling is what makes Breakfast at Tiffany’s still so iconic after all these years.

2. Bridget Jones Diary

Part time clumsy and full time funny, Bridget Jones is the quintessential Hollywood protagonist who never knows how to get the guy but obviously ends up getting lucky. The movie is so feel good and funny that you forget how impossible it is. And the two cuties obviously make it worthwhile. Hugh Grant and Colin Firth along with Renee’s adorable charm while she hilariously confides her love life woes into her diary make this movie and an eternal favorite amongst Rom com lovers. Our favorite scene has to be the gush worthy fight between firth and grant over Renee on London street!

3. Notting Hill
