I'm setting up a Plex / Emby / Jellyfin server for my parents and all they could ask for was romantic comedies and I don't know anything about this genre

Does anyone have any recommendations for good romcom movies?

They're very old lol so any good movies + anything that boomers would love would be great!

Not a personal recommendation just something I've done from experience with myself to get into genres I'm not familiar with:

Just search up lists of best rom-coms of all time. Find two different lists whether articles from rotten tomatoes or IMDB personal curated lists that have overlap of movies in the list and get all movies that overlap. Or just get the top rated ones as decided by rotten tomatoes, metascore, IMDB, etc. Hard to go wrong with that if you just want a bunch of things from a genre and don't really have a particular care about a given actor, director, specific theme, etc.

Also going to second the person who said old people love the star system so find movies with their favorite actors in them and they'll be happy most likely.
