A damp tissue, a line from Sandra Bullock, a look from Hugh Grant…there’s only one word for this scenario: rom-coms. A romantic comedy, or rom-com, is a type of movie that reduces romance lovers to tears and causes a fresh case of swooning over the likes of Tom Hanks and Richard Gere. Romantic comedies have been entertaining the masses for decades, but ’90s romantic comedies are known as some of the best.
So are these classic films still near and dear to our hearts more than two decades later? (Yes, despite what we like to tell ourselves, the ’90s were no longer “just ten years ago”). Turns out our love for the likes of Pretty Women and While You Were Sleeping is still going strong throughout all 50 states.
How do we know? ’90s rom-coms are googled regularly, enough so that we were able to nail down each state’s most popular movie. Keep reading this full piece from USDish to see which ’90’s romantic comedy movie your state loves and which ones you should be watching.

Methodology:
We compiled a list of the top 10* romantic comedies debuting between 1990-1999 according to Ranker. We then plugged these movies into Google Trends to examine search volume by state over the past year (9/26/18-9/26/19).
*While we looked at the Top 10 according to Ranker, only 9 are depicted on the map because Sleepless in Seattle wasn’t most searched for in any state.
