Movies that feel like Modern Romance (1981)
A film editor breaks up with his girlfriend, unsure if he is in love.
If you loved Modern Romance, the closest films we have are A Heart in Winter (1992), Defending Your Life (1991) and Same Time, Next Year (1978). All three share Modern Romance's contemplative and romantic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Late Marriage (2001).

If Modern Romance hit the spot, these will too
The same hand behind both of them: Albert Brooks
Trades the obsession of Modern Romance for an angle of its own
Witty where it counts, playful underneath
The scrappier of the two with critics
Contemplative and romantic in the same breath
Made in the 2000s, in a different era of the craft
Comedy with a pulse of tenderness, in both cases
Drama built on wit, twice over
Both are built on the same subject: obsession
Leans harder into history than Modern Romance does
Both lean on play more than on romance
Contemplative comedy in both cases
Albert Brooks working the same nerve twice
Romantic drama, and it commits to that
The same preoccupation in both: romcom
