RomanticComedy is an important sub-genre of the Chick Flick. It's worth noting that "rom-com" films are actually supposed to be popular because they serve both sexes as good date movies (romances are usually targeted at women, comedies are usually targeted at men). Some of the more successful examples do this right (usually if they have a decent comment to make [[MarsAndVenusGenderContrast on the nature of men and women]]), but for the most part, not so much.

Another important genre is {{melodrama}} films, which amp up the perceived scale and emotional response on everything. Basically, every little hurdle becomes a mountain, every setback a {{tragedy}} of Greek proportions, and the official couple will be {{StarCrossedLovers}} over the tiniest things, usually thanks to outside interference and {{PoorCommunicationKills}}. Melodrama can quite easily hook viewers into becoming emotionally invested in the characters, even to the point of a {{Tear Jerker}} burst of weeping. Possibly the most triumphant example of this date-movie genre is the film ''Film/LoveStory'', which, according to legend, is responsible for more pregnancies than any other single film.
