Movies: 5 Best Couples From The ’90s Rom-Coms
The 1990s had some amazing movies but was ultimately a golden era from the romantic comedy films. We saw actors and actresses like Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore and Tom Hanks and all of them portrayed the perfect characters in the perfect love stories we all wished it would happen to us one day.
These actors didn’t just fall in love with each other, but also made sure that viewers fall in love with them too. Here are the best couples from rom-com films!
1. Kat and Patrick from 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
The movie 10 Things I Hate About You is based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of The Shrew. The movie stars Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger in the lead role. Kat’s father tells her younger sister Bianca that she can start dating only when Kat does. Patrick is later paid by other students to date Kat.
Their journey to falling in love with each other is incredibly wholesome and includes A LOT of fun. Towards the end, Kat comes to know the truth, but they realise that they have found the “one”.
2. Kathleen and Joe from You’ve Got Mail (1998)
Much before social media and particularly dating apps become a hit, many of us were still living in the story of You’ve Got Mail. It’s an extremely sweet movie with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan as the leads. Kathleen and Joe are actually online pen pals in the AOL chatroom and have no clue they already know each other in their real lives. Joe is the owner of multi-national bookstore which is destroying the business of Kat’s small and independent bookstore.
Their chemistry is just way too real for the screen and if you haven’t watched this movie yet, do it NOW.
