9. They Came Together

Looking for a tale of romance yet you're cynical of romantic comedies? Then 2014's They Came Together might be right up your street. The film is a biting parody of the traditional rom-com, finding humour in the genre's schmaltzy absurdity.

Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd play Molly and Joe, two people who meet when Joel's corporate candy company threatens to shut down Molly's quirky, indie candy shop. Predictably, the two fall in love, but the relationship doesn't last long before its hit with some serious turbulence. The whole thing is completely tongue-in-cheek, recognising and subverting traditional rom-com tropes while remaining simultaneously intimate yet raunchy.

They Came Together is the perfect pick if you and your date are looking for a romantic comedy with a difference, or if you're trying to broadcast subliminal messages via the title.
