Pass the popcorn: 12 classic rom-coms to watch when the kids go to bed

Trying to keep up with work, friends and family life while summer is fast-approaching can make us feel a little bogged down and like we don't really have time for ourselves at the moment.

But, one thing that has helped us is switching off for a couple of hours and watching a movie with all of our favourite snacks. Sometimes we're just not in the mood to watch anything too serious or heavy, which is why romantic comedies will always be our go-to.

They're easy to watch and always manage to put a smile on your face so we've put together a list of the 12 top rom-coms that you need to watch. They'll offer you some joy for a couple of hours!
