Ranking The 25 Best Rom-Coms of All-Time
7. While You Were Sleeping (1995)
Image Source: Biography
I must have seen While You Were Sleeping over a hundred times. My all-time favorite Sandra Bullock film, While You Were Sleeping is one of those movies that blind sides you with its charm. The movie shows Bullock playing a toll woman named Lucy. She has an endearing crush on Peter (Peter Gallagher), a commuter who she looks to as the perfect man. One day, Peter is mugged and thrown onto the train tracks. Lucy rushes out of her booth and saves his life. Peter is rushed to the hospital, where he is in a Movie Coma (a medical condition that requires him to remain unconscious as long as is convenient for the plot). Through a silly understanding, the members of Peter’s family become convinced Lucy is his fiancee. Enter Peter’s dreamy brother, Jack (Bill Pullman) and you have yourself a rom-com. Its love story in which sweetness is more important that passion.
