What is a... Romantic Comedy?

A subgenre which combines the romance genre with comedy, focusing on two or more individuals as they discover and attempt to deal with their romantic love, attractions to each other. The stereotypical plot line follows the "boy-gets-girl", "boy-loses-girl", "boy gets girl back again" sequence. Naturally, there are innumerable variants to this plot (as well as new twists, such as reversing the gender roles in the story), and much of the generally lighthearted comedy lies in the social interactions and sexual tension between the characters, who very often either refuse to admit they are attracted to one another, or must deal with others' meddling in their affairs. (aka chick flick)

Here are some of my favorite romantic comedies...
        

I could watch any of these movies any day of the week - love them all! There are a million more romantic comedies that I could probably name here but these are just a few quick examples. Do you like romantic comedies? Which one is your favorite?
