Movies that feel likeYou've Got Mail (1998)

Book superstore magnate Joe Fox and independent book shop owner Kathleen Kelly fall in love in the anonymity of the Internet—both blissfully unaware that he's trying to put her out of business.

If you loved You've Got Mail, the closest films we have are Notting Hill (1999), There's Something About Mary (1998) and My Best Friend's Wedding (1997). All three share You've Got Mail's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Cold Comfort Farm (1995).
