Movies today are filled with overused tropes. The action movie has its over stylized dialogue and Michael Bay–esque explosions. Horror movies have extreme gore and sequential character deaths. Romantic comedies have the standard break-up, and eventually, a character that decides to apologize and everything is suddenly okay. “Celeste and Jesse Forever,” directed by Lee Toland Kriger, is lucky enough to break the patterns that have infected this ailing genre for the past few years. Starring Rashida Jones (who also wrote the screenplay), Andy Samberg and Elijah Wood, “Celeste and Jesse Forever,” forges a new pathway for the romantic comedy.

Why it s so good: From proclamations of love on New Year s Eve to the endlessly quotable diner scene, When Harry Met Sally has remained a classic due to Nora Ephron s unparalleled writing.
Modern romantic comedies owe a lot to When Harry Met Sally (1989).
