The Proposal

For all the hopeless romantics out there, The Proposal is a staple. The only thing better than the enemies-to-lovers trope is enemies-to-lovers and fake dating combined. When editor Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) learns she's in danger of being deported, she asks her assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her. If you're looking for a lighthearted and entertaining comedy, the chemistry between these two will leave you swooning.

Imagine Me and You

@lesbiancinema

For those who want a movie to give them butterflies, Imagine Me and You *is* that movie. During her wedding ceremony, Rachel (Piper Perabo) notices Luce (Lena Headey) in the audience and feels instantly drawn to her. The two become close friends—and despite her marriage with Heck, she falls for Luce. It's clear that these two are absolutely meant to be...and the ending scene gives you all the feels. It really doesn't get more romantic than standing on top of a car in the middle of a traffic jam to get the attention of the girl you love. And yes, this one has a happy ending.
