Charlie Bartlett (2007)

Charlie Bartlett, a coming-of-age comedy, focuses on the titular awkward teenager (Anton Yelchin) who, struggling to fit in at his new high school, takes on the unconventional role of the school's resident psychiatrist. He dispenses advice, and sometimes medication, to his classmates, quickly becoming one of the most popular students. His unique approach to social acceptance, however, sets the stage for complicated relationships and the exploration of deeper themes about identity, connection, and the search for belonging. While primarily a comedy, "Charlie Bartlett" earns its place among the best romance movies due to the tender and developing relationship between Charlie and Susan, the headmaster's daughter played by Kat Dennings. Their relationship, built on shared vulnerabilities and a desire for connection, acts as the emotional core of the film. Their interactions go beyond a typical high-school romance; their relationship explores themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and the challenge of navigating the complexities of love, thus adding to the movie's romantic element.
