Top 10 Romantic Comedies on Amazon Prime in 2022

Amazon has several romantic comedies of all time free to stream for its Amazon Prime members, but you would not know it by browsing the site. Even after 20 pages of scrolling through various vapid, inadequately written excuses for rom-coms in the online giant’s massive catalog, some of those films don’t show up. But you need not fear anymore, we’re here for you, digging through innumerous films to find you the best romantic comedies.

 There are various Hollywood as well as Bollywood films, indie movies and even blockbusters. But all should have you amused and feeling the love.

Here we bring to you the 10 best romantic comedies accessible to stream for free on Amazon Prime:

1. The General

Year: 1926
Directors: Buster Keaton and Clyde Bruckham
Cast: Joseph Keaton, Marion Mack, Glen Cavender
Rating: NR
Runtime: 79 mins

The General is possibly the best silent comedy ever made—if not the best comedy ever made. At the peak of Buster Keaton’s well-known career, the film didn’t obtain critical or box-office victory when released, but it has aged extremely well. It’s a display of story, mismatching romance, adventure, action and comedy into a flawless silent masterpiece.

2. Sleepless in Seattle

Year: 1993
Director: Nora Ephron
Cast: Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Bill Pullman
Rating: PG
Runtime: 105 mins

Sleepless in Seattle is basically one massive love letter to 1957’s An Affair to Remember from director/writer Nora Ephron. Rita Wilson gives an outstanding teary outline of the movie, and Annie watches it prior to writing to Sam inviting him to meet her at the Empire State Building. When they finally meet, the theme from An Affair to Remember surges, setting the mood for anybody who has an appreciation for good rom-coms.

3. The African Queen

Year: 1952
Director: John Huston
Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Robert Morley
Rating: NR
Runtime: 105 mins

Director/Writer John Huston’s genius in making The African Queen was taking the feuding couple out of the metropolitan region for which they’d often been connected with and in its place placing them square in the middle of an inhospitable jungle. With the added part of survival driving their journey, the playful banter between classy widow, Rose Sayer and crass boatman, Charlie Allnut crackles all the more, making for a rom-com as cruel as it is cute.

4. Love Actually

Year: 2003
Director: Richard Curtis
Cast: Desiree Akhavan, Rebecca Henderson, Halley Feiffer
Rating: PG
Runtime: 86 mins

A very few can compete with the kind on display in Richard Curtis’ epic romantic comedy Love Actually when it comes to portraying love confessions of all types.

5. Waitress

Year: 2007
Director: Adrienne Shelly
Cast: Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, Cheryl Hines
Rating: PG-13
Runtime: 107 mins

Every bit as calming as the luscious, candy-colored pies Keri Russell bakes in the movie, Waitress is a mellifluous little comedy that should verbalize to anyone who has ever felt stuck in a situation.

6. Something’s Gotta Give

Year: 2003
Director: Nancy Meyers
Cast: Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Vanna Bonta, Keanu Reeves
Rating: PG-13
Runtime: 128 mins

You can be expecting immense chemistry when you’ve got two giants of cinema exploring love later in life. That’s what happens with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton when the earlier breaks his line of dating women in their twenties and falls in love with the mother of one of his girlfriends.

7. Love & Friendship

Year: 2016
Director: Whit Stillman
Cast: Kate Beckinsale, Chloe Sevigny, Xavier Samuel
Rating: PG
Runtime: 93 mins

The title of Whit Stillman’s most recent comedy may be Love & Friendship, but whilst both are surely present in the film, other, more pessimistic qualities also thrive: deception, manipulation, even outright hatred.

8. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge

         ​​​​​​​

Year: 1995
Director: Aditya Chopra
Cast: Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, Amrish Puri
Rating: PG-13
Runtime: 188 mins

Mostly referred to as DDLJ, this film is credited to have started Shah Rukh Khan on his course to eventual superstardom. A super hit soundtrack, divine visuals of India and abroad, and a leading couple that captivated their way into its audience, all add to DDLJ being included in all sorts of Bollywood lists.

9. Priceless

Year: 2008
Director: Pierre Salvadori
Cast: Audrey Tautou, Gad Elmaleh, Marie-Christine Adam
Rating: PG-13
Runtime: 105 mins

In Priceless, also often compared to Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Audrey Tautou plays Irène who is known to be the most gorgeous, dangerous and unapologetic gold digger in the French Riviera.

10. Charade

         ​​​​​​​

Year: 1963
Director: Stanley Donen
Cast: Aubrey Hepburn, Cary Grant
Rating: NR
Runtime: 113 minutes

Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn is the most charming male and female lead ever. Everything else is just additional benefit in this quixotic thriller about a woman pursued in Paris for her late husband’s stolen fortune.
