There’s nothing like curling up on the couch with some popcorn and a good chick flick, also known as the romantic comedy. This genre is always lighthearted, with humorous plotlines that center on romance and ideals of true love, the “one”, and a fairy-tale ending. They’ve long been loved by audiences and therefore a staple in Hollywood, so there’s a massive catalog dating back to the plays of Shakespeare! Many consider “All for a Girl” – a silent black and white movie released in 1912 – to be the first-ever rom-com film though.

If you were born in the 80s or 90s, you’ve likely watched all of these flicks more than once. But how well do really remember them? Find out if you’re a true rom-com fan by taking this quiz to test your knowledge by naming the correct romantic comedy just by the lead character’s first name!
