Submarine
Description: 15-year-old Oliver Tate has two objectives: To lose his virginity before his next birthday, and to extinguish the flame between his mother and an ex-lover who has resurfaced in her life. (Richard Ayoade)
Stars: Craig Roberts, Sally Hawkins, Paddy Considine
Why It Doesn't Suck: It's weird as shit. So bizarre, but so awkwardly charming, relatable and witty. I get lemony snicket-esque narration vibes but the british accents could be my bias there.
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-WCCdkVDr4
Where to Watch: Netflix, or learn to torrent, stream, or message for link.
TiMER
Description: If a clock could count down to the moment you meet your soul mate, would you want to know?
Stars: Emma Caulfield, John Patrick Amedori, Scott Holroyd
Why It Doesn't Suck: it's concept is unique, it's funny, it's strange. It may leave typical lovers of romantic comedies unsatisfied, but others will feel fulfilled in the unanswerable questions and thoughts the ending brings about.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWtOjWH84ok
Where To Watch: Some Netflix's, or message for link list!
Celeste and Jesse Forever
Description: A divorcing couple tries to maintain their friendship while they both pursue other people. (Lee Toland Krieger)
Stars: Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg, Elijah Wood
Why it Doesn't Suck: Jones' writing and acting in this is so spot on and relatable. There are kind of sad feels that will bring u back to that feel of 'awh shit break ups suck'. Plus, awkward-omg-dont-say-that Michael Scott-ish moments taboot.
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQoH1IGRB3w
Where to Watch: Netflix, or msg for link, or torrent or steam, its 2014 lbr.
Life After Beth
Description: A young man's recently deceased girlfriend mysteriously returns from the dead, but he slowly realizes she is not the way he remembered her. (John Baena)
Stars: Aubrey Plaza, Dane DeHaan, John C. Reilly, MATTHEW GRAY GUBLER
Why it Doesn't Suck: it's too twisted and unique to be just a romance or to be just be a comedy. it's edward scissor-handy with a dark humour that is clever. It's blatant 'gags' still come off as one-of-a-kind.
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVtaRAAWJss
Where to Watch:look it up, or buy it legitimately because it just came out for digital download and i dont feel comfortable about giving links to movies that are still actively trying to make a profit!
Some Girl(s)
Description: On the eve of his wedding, a successful writer travels across the country to meet up with ex-lovers in an attempt to make amends for past relationship transgressions.
Stars: Adam Brody, Kristen Bell, Zoe Kazan, Jennifer Morrison
Why It Doesn't Suck: It's based on a play, and it feels like it when you're watching. It's less romantic comedy, and more comedy while talking about past romances. Each 'ex' has a story with Brody's character, with at least one you undoubtedly relate too. Kazan's and Bell's performances are phenomenal. Great movie to watch post-breakup.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzpAzzZ0KnQ
Where to Watch: Message for link list.
Giant Mechanical Man
Description: An offbeat romantic comedy about a silver-painted street performer and the soft spoken zoo worker who falls for him.
Stars: Jenna Fischer, Chris Messina, Topher Grace
Why It Doesn't Suck: it's charming as all else. It's about feeling lost in life and trying to find what will make you feel found - and if you haven't felt that way, hell you're a lucky one. Messina is amazing, Fisher's character in this is as lovable as Pam.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtbvHJzlyrw
Where To Watch: Some Netflix's. Or message for link lists if you don't know how to stream or torrent you N00BS. jk no hate, i wanna help :)
Wristcutters: A Love Story
Description: A film set in a strange afterlife way station that has been reserved for people who have committed suicide.
Stars: Patrick Fugit, Shea Whigham, Tom Waits
Why It Doesn't Suck: It's such a unique concept. It's a romantic comedy about suicide that does not ever romanticize suicide itself. It's dark, it's weird, but will leave you doing something they can't - smiling :).
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHAQW2ko6yI
Where To Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w5y5erTCUg !
Two Night Stand
Description: A snowstorm forces two people who made an online connection to unwillingly extend their one-night stand.
Stars: Miles Teller, Analeigh Tipton, Jessica Szohr, Scott Mescudi
Why It Doesn't Suck: I went into it not expecting much than your generic stupid-but-entertaining romcom, and was pleasantly surprised. Teller and Tipton draw off each other, and have comedic banter like spitfire. It offers some cool, funny insights on relationships. And it's also very open and honest about sex - for once.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcSosCe0B-A
Where To Watch: Buy it on itunes! It was just recently released so i dont feel uber comfortable about sharing dat link just yet when it could still make some money.
In Your Eyes
Description: Two seemingly unconnected souls from different corners of the United States make a telepathic bond that allows them to see, hear and feel the others experiences, creating a bond that apparently can't be broken. (Written by Joss Whedon)
Stars: Jennifer Grey, Nikki Reed, Zoe Kazan
Why It Doesn't Suck: Joss Whedon's cool ass mind created an amazing premise, once again. It's more charming witty-banter romance than laugh out loud comedy. But still highly underrated film from early 2014.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs_Z2OyqW5A
Where To Watch: I am highly urging you to digitally download the movie because that was how it was released, no theatrical release and it's still so new. So, support on that level guys, or find links yourself bc for this one I wont give links sowwy.

PART TWO: http://imgur.com/gallery/HDb4L
a lot of the movies you all are suggesting/complaining are not on this list are in the previous lists above. Also, if it's not on any of the list likely A) It's a fairly well known movie, most people have seen or at least heard of it B') It's just a comedy or just a romance, Ie people have suggested Superbad and The Notebook should be on this list? no lol.
Anyways, hope you enjoy :)

I love how Matthew Gray Gubler is in all caps!

Wristcutters: A Love Story : watched it, liked it, owed you a thank you
MyLawyerMadeMeChangeThisUsernameSoIWouldntGetSued
Life After Beth is really funny
Shuckeru
I was an extra in Submarine and got paid £60 for the honour.
Jejkobb
Submarine is an awesome flick, WATCH IT!
ThePowerfulChicken
The Giant Mechanical Man is not a comedy. Pleasant enough drama but zero laughs.
Polygon95
I saw Life After Beth yesterday, it's othing special but it's pretty fun nonetheless.
Drpurrpurrpurr
Finally watched Wristcutters last week, now I'm a huge Gogol Bordello fan.
theicklestone
Love Actually!
Snoweh
YES
catgoth
MATTHEW GRAY GUBLER in caps is definitely very necessary
tehpenguinlord
And Submarine has a killer soundtrack. Alex Turner will serenade you through this indie film.
Resurrectionist
Does Amélie count as a romantic comedy? If so, that.
bobon123
Submarine is a very nice movie. Richard Ayoade (
) directed it. What are you waiting? Go see it!
davidbowieasziggystardust

I liked Timer. Very interesting premise, and fun little twists.
kkaylium
But it didn't turn out happy for mikey, the only character I cared about >:( Augh
TheBOULDER
The BOULDER liked the world it was suck, but that ending sucked more balls than EA.
msizzlee
and terrible acting :(
keymasterbacon
I honestly loved that movie.
HeyThereHawkguy
I feel like I saw the ending coming a mile away though, the twists made me think 'maybe they won't end it like that' but then they did.

500 days of summer
batman89
I hate that movie..
hairyllama
TiMER was pretty off-putting, but In your eyes was incredible! :D
ChewyKibbles
dont forget 500 days of summer.. im a 20yr old male and its my favorite movie.
JosephGordonLevittsLeftSock
i love how it shows that not every relationship ends well. it's a harsh lesson we all had to learn at some point
eatingketchupchips
my fav too, but anyone who remotely likes romcoms has seen or at least heard of it.
FastandBiCurious
Submarine and Wristcutters are fantastic. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind should be on here.
duendedelnorte
You're completely right
wingweaver415
Is it a comedy though?
FastandBiCurious
It has funny moments, more funny moments than some of these other movies.
IAmPurpleDinosaur
Celeste and Jesse Forever was pretty touching.
NoellFalangi01189998819991197253
Maybe it's just me, but that movie was so sad!
IAmPurpleDinosaur
Exactly what I mean! I didn't start watching it with huge expectations, but ended up kind of moved.
Stisse
Where is Perks of being a wallflower?!
NemeanKitten
Such a good movie/book, one of my favorites.
eatingketchupchips
these lists are more for the movies not very well-known. Perks while fantastic, was fairly well-distributed and seen.
Rockworm
I just finished watching In Your eyes cause of this list. Fantastic! Not too lovey dovey with very likeable characters. 1/2
Rockworm
2/2 I haven't rooted for a love story so hard in a long time.
CoconutCyclone
Where did you get it from? Their website is useless.
Rockworm
kickass.to I almost never have trouble finding something there.
aliceinwonderlands
need more lists like these so I can see these movies, love them, and cry about being lonely
MisssChanandlerBong
Love actually should be number one one this list. Great movie.
pizza123wasalreadytaken
A-are you me?
krisbdream
you mean there's more people like me out there... oh wait ! :/
PatrickStarTheFABULOUS
I really liked Warm Bodies, I generally hate romantic movies because they're poorly written
therealtriwolf
Sounds just like my life. We can cry together.
uwsewing
I would also suggest moonrise kingdom and safety not guaranteed
eatingketchupchips
both on prior lists of this genre mate!

Drooling intensifies...

Shirtless in Life After Beth ;) Aww Yeah...
LemonFanta
1- I just watched 'Some Girls' and the guy that Brody is playing is a 100% piece of garbage. The epitome of the worst guy ever. I was almost
LemonFanta
2- super pissed off at this movie for not calling him out on it, and I still kind of am, but at least Veronica Mars told him what for. Also
LemonFanta
3- just imagining that Kristen Bell has a twin pretty much made my week.
TheBOULDER
The BOULDER here: Timer is a cool concept, but the ending sucks more balls than EA. Go see About Time instead for the 2nd or 3rd time.
ScreaminginSherris
First I love you, second, yeah, the ending sucked so much.
TheBOULDER
Love love or like love?
FappedInAmerica
As someone who has seen About Time, affirmative.
Frecklie
I agree, the ending really ruined the movie for me.
TheBOULDER
You and The BOULDER both, son.
Snowchill
This is cool, but you know what list I wanna see? A fantasy list. not any casual stuff, high fantasy. Even if they are indies, I need a list
causality
Romantic comedies don't appeal to me because they're basically scripted reality TV.
causality
They fall into the category of "depicting things I could only care about if they were happening to me personally"
BitchImCanadian
I too would be interested in this... GOOD high fantasy is hard to find.
FreshCaviar
High fantasy is a subgenre, not a scale of casual/hard. It just means fantasy not set in the real world. Naruto is technically high fantasy.
FuckYouAndYourEyebrows
+1 For Naruto.
kibateo
What exactly falls into "high fantasy". I tried googling and the description just confounded me more.
kibateo
So high fantasy is like regular fantasy but like on a higher plane?
eatingketchupchips
hey OP here, but make it yourself then :) Only high fantasy I've liked is Harry Potter and LOTR so i wont be making a list of that genre ATS
Snowchill
I would, but I don't know any movies of that kind, that's why I'm asking someone else to do it
Pencillin
fuck fantasy, I'm into HARD SCI-FI
aluminumadmiral
We need both, damnit!
flamingflamingo
I watched Legend, which features Tim Curry as the Lord of Darkness. I don't think I can ever watch a fantasy film ever again.
sungames2001
is it any good? i love Tim Curry.
flamingflamingo
It is one of the worst movies ever made. I suggest only watching it in irony.
flamingflamingo
Oh it also has a young Tom Cruise.
TheScarletBitch
I refused to rent anything other than Legend and the Last Unicorn when I was a a kid. I personally think it's fantastic.
op1qo
I too thought those wer awesome movies'
