Can you match the romantic comedy movie to the decade? Quiz

Screen OD staff

There’s something uniquely appealing about romantic comedies – their charm, their humour, and their inherent optimism about love make them a universally beloved film genre which we continue to come back to time and again in our lives.

From the screwball comedies of the 1930s to the contemporary hits that have redefined the genre, rom-coms have been a staple of our cinematic diet for almost as long as movies have existed.

Can you remember when Meg Ryan’s character fell in love over email? Or when Hugh Grant’s character stammered his way into Andie MacDowell’s character’s heart in Four Weddings and a Funeral? There are so many iconic moments from rom-coms in cinema that we all have our own very happy memories of them.

The question is, can you match these classic and modern romantic comedies to the decade they were released?

Dive into the world of grand gestures, great romantic speeches and happy-ever-afters, and test your knowledge of romantic comedies through the decades. Whether you’re a film buff or a casual viewer, this quiz promises a delightful stroll down memory lane. So, grab your popcorn and let’s get started!
