Exploring America’s Most-Loved Rom-Coms

This PixlParade article reads like a chaotic group chat full of friends lovingly arguing over which romantic comedy reigns supreme and gets romance right. It rounds up the most popular rom-coms of all time and reminds us that, as a society, we have strong feelings about tropes like enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, and grand declarations that would cause a scene in real life. The rankings here feel less like cold data and more like a collective declaration of love for the genre. The data reveals some surprising truths. For example, New York City is apparently the most romantic place on planet Earth based on how often it’s featured. And did you know at least one animated ogre earned beloved rom-com status? (That would be Shrek.)
