“It’s one of the great cosmic mysteries. How someone can go from being a total stranger to the most important person in your life.”

If you’re one of the 5.3 million people who watched One Day in the first four days since its release, you’ll recognise (and probably have had a little sob at) those words said by Emma Morley during a wedding speech about her best friend and one true love, Dexter Mayhew.

The series has captured our attention for showcasing the highs and lows of love and life through a beer-smeared, 90s-tinged lens. So if you’ve already binged it, what should you watch next? I’ve picked 18 of my favourite romcom (18 to match the age I was when I realised that romcoms are my true love) films and TV series that will pierce your heart, break it and put it back together, all in a few joyful hours.

That’s amore…
