Latest Time Out worldwide features

Romance may be dead in the real world, but in cinema, it’ll live forever. Whether it’s classic and stormy like Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights, modern and subdued like Celine Song’s Past Lives or hot and horny like Heated Rivalry, love is simply too elemental of an emotion for filmmakers to ever abandon. Even if you’ve never, say, robbed a bank with your loved one or stood by your sweetheart as they transformed into a hideous monster, the best romantic films make you understand and sympathise with the decisions of those under love’s spell – because one way or another, we’ve all been there.   There are so many movies about love in all its complications that ranking the greatest of them is a major challenge. To help us curate this list, we chatted to more than 100 filmmakers, actors and writers, from The Notebook author Nicholas Sparks to Notting Hill director Richard Curtis to our own Time Out scribes. We even got Miss Piggy to chime in. Whether you prefer comedies or dramas, horror or sci-fi, we’re sure you’ll find the following list of the 100 greatest romantic movies ever speaks to your own heart as well.

Be them Scandinavian innovations or indigenous rope walkways in Peru, eye-catching designs or skyline staples, our world would look very different without the bridges that connect our communities. Humans (with help from Mother Nature) have been figuring out how to traverse rivers, valleys, and rainforests for centuries, leading to some gorgeous examples of historical and contemporary architecture. We know, we know – there are literally millions of bridges in the world, and so many are stunners. So, while we’ve picked some of our favourites, take heed that this list is by no means comprehensive. Did your fave bridge make the list? Scroll on to find out.

Updates for 2026: Behold: 30 more of the best romantic comedies ever made! We’ve expanded this list of the all-time greatest romcoms to 100 in order to include recent hits like The Idea of You, Rye Lane and The Worst Person in the World and previously overlooked gems like Crazy, Stupid, Love and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Love hurts. Love scars. Love also makes us act like total imbeciles. Indeed, love can be the most painful of emotions, but it’s also often the funniest. If you’ve ever found yourself in its grip, then you know the strange ways it can make you feel, and the weird things it’ll make you do. And even if you haven’t, well, there’s a whole genre dedicated to letting you know how silly it can be.  No wonder romantic comedy persists as one of the most broadly accessible genres in all of film. So why, then, has Hollywood seemingly stopped making them? At one point in time, romcoms filled cinema calendars. Now, they’re largely relegated to streaming – or, in the case of something like Celine Song’s Materialists, miscategorized. It’s perplexing, because not only are romcoms some of the most you can have with a room full of strangers, but isn’t love one of the most universal human experiences? Of course, not all love stories are the same. Some are farcical, others more sophisticated, some cynical, others straight-up crazy. Love contains multitudes, and so do romantic comedies, and we considered it all when putting together this list of the 100 best romcoms of all...

If you’ve heard Tbilisi described as "the new Berlin" or "the next Prague," believe the hype. Georgia’s capital is having a massive moment for 2026, drawing in digital nomads, techno tourists, and wine lovers who want European charm without the Schengen price tag. It’s a city of chaotic beauty, where crumbling Art Nouveau facades sit next to futuristic glass bridges, and the smell of fresh shoti bread is never far away. The Airbnb game here is elite. Because Tbilisi has a history of grand merchant houses and Soviet industrial spaces, the rental inventory is incredibly unique. You can sleep in a "Italian Courtyard" mansion with 4-metre ceilings, a converted sewing factory loft, or a glass-walled studio overlooking the Narikala Fortress. We’ve filtered through the listings to find the stays that offer serious character, fast Wi-Fi (essential for the nomad crowd), and the best locations. Here are the best Airbnbs in Tbilisi.

With the return of The Night Manager, Industry and Hulu’s A Thousand Blows, the home viewing year has kicked off in head-spinning style. And with HBO’s Game of Thrones spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and Netflix’s How to Get To Heaven From Belfast, the latest from the creator of Derry Girls, the array of small-screen offerings are landing at dizzying speeds well into the spring. We have stopped at nothing – not sleep, not family responsibilities – to watch all of it and curate this list of the best shows to give your limited spare time over to. You don’t have forever to spend on the sofa so make it count with something from our list of the best of the year so far.

If Seoul is the frantic, futuristic brain of South Korea, Busan is its beating, sun-drenched heart. Often dubbed the "Miami of Korea," this coastal metropolis offers a vibe shift that is palpable the moment you step off the KTX train. Here, the skyscrapers hug the sand, the seafood is pulled straight from the ocean, and the coffee shops have views that rival the Amalfi Coast. But the real draw for 2026 isn't just the beaches; it’s the accommodation. Busan’s Airbnb scene has exploded with creativity. You can sleep in a high-rise residence that floats above the clouds, a retro-styled villa overlooking the industrial harbour, or a "Sky Capsule" house where colourful trains chug past your bedroom window. We’ve filtered out the basic officetels to find the pads with serious character. Here are the best Airbnbs in Busan.

Whether you’re margherita-loving purist or an all-the-toppings enthusiast, a fan of New York-style, Detroit-style, Neapolitan-style or your own whacky style, everybody’s their definition of a dream pizza. But cities all over the world have put their own spin on the dish, too, and that’s why we called on our international network of editors and writers to share the weirdest, tastiest and most lip-smacking pizzas where they live. So, feast your eyes on Time Out’s freshly-baked roundup of the best pizzas on the planet.  RECOMMENDED:🍝The best cities in the world for food🥪The best sandwiches in the world🥩The best steaks in the world This list was edited by Liv Kelly, Time Out’s travel writer.

Updated February 2026: There’s been a drought of standout studio comedies over the last five to 10 years, which makes the Liam Neeson-starring remake of The Naked Gun even more of a comedic miracle. It joins both the 1988 original and director Akiva Schaffer’s previous spoof, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, on our list of the funniest movies ever. Medical professionals agree: laughter is the best medicine. Someone should tell movie studio executives. In the last few years, comedies have all but vanished from cinemas. Once one of Hollywood’s most bankable genres, you’re now lucky to get a small dose of giggles streaming at home. It’s a true shame, because as anyone alive in the Before Times will tell you, there are few experiences better than a theater full of people cracking up in unison.  Slowly but surely, however, the film world might be ready to laugh again. In 2025, absurd farces like the rebooted Naked Gun and Tim Robinson’s Friendship found enthusiastic audiences, and there are a few comedies arriving in 2026 that are worth anticipating. But even if a revival remains elusive, the thing about the greatest comedies is they remain infinitely rewatchable. On this list of the 100 greatest movie comedies ever, all senses of humour are represented: silly and sophisticated, light and dark, surreal and broad. Stream them now – because in this day and age, we could all use a good laugh. Recommended: 🔥 The 100 best movies of all-time🤣 The best comedies of 2024🥰 The...

What makes a great love song? Some would say romantic lyrics brimming with emotion. Others will nod towards a sweeping production that makes your heart flutter and your tear ducts twitch in tandem. Ultimately it's the power to connect with audiences universally; a song that speaks to the heart and deeply moves the listener. Love songs brighten our days, soundtrack weddings and make us think of those most special in our lives. That's why they tend to endure the test of time. As our rundown of the best love songs shows, even the classics still hold weight and resonance in our modern world. From Etta James to Stevie Wonder, these golden hits remain on wedding playlists to this day. There's also the new school of love birds in town – we're looking at you Olivia Dean and Billie Eilish – who continue to pluck at our heartstrings and provide a romcom soundtrack to modern romance. What is the number one love song of all time? It's widely believed that the best selling love song of all time is Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You.’ No surprise there. We’ve got it on our list, but controversially we’ve got Dolly Parton’s version instead (fun fact: Dolly’s version was actually released first, Whitney’s was just more famous). Oh, and it’s not our number one either – for that, you’ll have to read on. What's the most popular wedding song of all time? There's no exact science to deciding this, but general consenus and various surveys around the world continually point towards two...

As a European filmmaking capital, Italy is second only to France in historical importance. In terms of the kind of movies it’s given the world, though, there may not be a country more diverse. The masterpieces of Italian cinema range from hot-blooded romances to surrealistic dreamscapes, gut-busting commedia d'italia to gritty neorealist docudramas, spaghetti westerns to giallo horror. (Italian-Americans still have the edge on gangster flicks, though the mother nation has produced a few classics of the genre on its own.)  The big names still exert a massive influence on filmmaking culture: Fellini, Visconti, Pasolini, Argento, Leone. But Il Bel Paese is still producing major talents, from Alice Rohrwacher to Paolo Sorrentino. Clearly, narrowing down the greatest Italian movies of all-time is a tall task. But for our lira, these are the 50 best the country has to offer.RECOMMENDED: 📽️ The 50 best foreign-language films ever made.🇫🇷 The greatest French movies of all time.🇰🇷 The best Korean films ever made.
