As a film fan, I wanted to give myself a challenge this Valentine’s Day: Pick one romantic comedy per decade dating back to the 1920s.
Admittedly, I haven’t seen as many films from the 1920s-1940s as I have of more recent decades, but I’ve been able to find a worthy representative for each decade. I also gave myself the parameters that I couldn’t duplicate actors, writers or directors, otherwise my list would be full of repeated appearances by personal favorites.
