10 Lesser Known Romantic Comedies (That Guys Can Watch)

9. Broken Flowers (2005)

This film differs from the rest of the romances on the list because the main character is involved in more than one relationship in the film. In fact, it focuses on ex-girlfriends more than current ones. In this Jim Jarmusch film, Don Johnston (Bill Murray) is an aging bachelor who receives a letter from an ex-lover claiming they had a son together and he is looking for him. Don then goes on a roadtrip to visit five women he was seeing 18-years ago. Along the trip, Don reflects on his life and what could have been with the various women. The film explores the notion of past relationships and how they play into our present and shape who we are. Plus the movie has great deadpan humour, an intriguing mystery and Bill Murray in one of his best performances ever.
