2. Garden State
Garden State is probably the anti-romantic comedy. I’m not ashamed to admit that I saw this movie seven times when it was in theatres. The developing romance between Natalie Portman and Zach Braff’s characters is seriously adorable, mostly because they’re both pretty messed up. You can just tell they would rather die than watch a romantic comedy. If that’s how you feel, then get in touch with your inner teen and curl up on the couch with this funny, sad indie gem.
