With JuliaRoberts making her return to romantic comedies in Ticket to Paradise, we explored her 5 best movies in the same genre that became all-time classics.
Julia Roberts is the queen of romantic comedies. With a magnetic smile, charm to spare, and an innate ability to make us laugh, Roberts became an international superstar in the 1990s thanks to her memorable roles in rom-coms. In addition to her remarkable talent, what sets Roberts apart from other leading ladies at the time was her bankability at the box office. The five films listed below combined for a worldwide box office gross surpassing $1.3 billion.
Mystic Pizza After a few appearances in TV and film, Roberts broke out in Mystic Pizza. The coming-of-age film stars Roberts and Annabeth Gish as sisters Daisy and Kat Araújo. Along with their friend, Jojo Barbosa , the three girls work at Mystic Pizza in the seaside town of Mystic, Connecticut. The two opposites fall for each other, but their past lives attempt to pull them apart. Directed by Garry Marshall, Pretty Woman became the third-highest-grossing film of 1990, and Roberts received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. It’s easy to see why, as Roberts shows such charisma and knack for comedy that the film is still the one she’s most known for three decades later.
