I wasn't a sucker for rom-coms but I've enjoyed my fair share once a while, a lot named by you here! And I've also watched one day recently, and also the movie version before, which I enjoyed but also was left feeling a bit off, so this series saved it. It was unnerving though already knowing the ending before. And I, like you for Sparks, went on to buy the book from Nichols, the first for me cause I never read romantic books. It's fun to analyze it.
Anyway, you're right, rom-coms mostly feature the exciting part of a romantic love, the initial, the chase, the falling in love and then despite everything got together. Then we let the "after" happen in real life cause it's not exciting, it's work, commitment, and keep falling in love again. There is one movie I can suggest to you here - "Before Midnight", it features the after. BUT you must watch from the beginning for this trilogy - before sunrise and then before sunset first, for the usual rom-coms part.
Yes thank you for recommending trilogy. I remember watching it with my mom when I was little and I was bored by the conversation after conversation, because I was way to young to understand love and meaningful adult conversations then! Now that I am an actual adult, I need to watch them again!
Yes go watch it! I was late to the trilogy, watching both before sunrise and before sunset one after another. If you happen to watch it along and at around the same age as them, it'll be magical. So before sunset did spoke to me more at that time and then few years later, before midnight gave me a glimpse of what is to come, which now I think it's time for a re-watch because I am living it!
My rom-com stage was back in the '80s—I loved them back then. Say Anything, The Princess Bride, Some Kind of Wonderful, etc. While I recognized the titles of many of the movies you mentioned, I may have only seen one or two. However, I will run this show past my wife and see if it gets her 👍🏻. That show seems more "we" than "me".
The Princess Bride is one of kind, even decades later! Let me know if you and your wife end up watching the show. I am very curious to learn what you think of it.

It has been added to the list. We just have to get through Murders in the Building first...
This Netflix series WRECKED me. I watched it twice…
Ahh glad to hear I'm not alone! I think I'm gonna have to watch it again!
