Why this pick
A warm, witty New York relationship comedy built around close friendship, romantic misreadings, and the complications that arise when love does not fit the assumptions people make.

Why this pick
Its polished late-1990s urban-rom-com energy, career pressure, and escalating romantic deception make it a particularly close companion to Three to Tango.

Why this pick
This has the same breezy Manhattan ensemble charm: longtime friends, a love triangle, sharp banter, and an affectionate balance between professional lives and romantic confusion.
04
Why this pick
A glossy, deliberately old-fashioned battle-of-the-sexes comedy with playful gender assumptions, elaborate romantic games, stylish city settings, and a buoyant screwball pace.
05

01 / THE STORY
Architects Oscar Novak (Matthew Perry) and Peter Steinberg (Oliver Platt) have just landed a career-making opportunity to design of a multimillion dollar cultural center for wealthy businessman Charles Newman (Dylan McDermott). In a ploy for publicity, Newman has pitched Oscar and Peter in a neck-and-neck competition with their archrivals and former colleagues, the hugely successful Decker and Strauss (Bob Balaban and John C. McGinley). When Newman meets Oscar and Peter, he assumes that they are lovers, even though Oscar is straight. (Peter is in fact gay, but his relationship with Oscar is strictly platonic.) Under the mistaken impression that Oscar is gay, he asks Oscar to keep an eye on his mistress Amy (Neve Campbell) and make sure that she does not talk to his wife. Oscar falls for Amy virtually on sight, but she also thinks he is gay. He is forced to maintain the charade to avoid getting into trouble with Newman, and losing the commission.
