Movies where guy FINALLY gets the girl?

I was talking to my buddy today and hes kind of in this funk about a girl so he asked me the question above. He knows Im a movie aficianado but I had no answer for him. I know some movies, but theyre all the standard fall in love fast (Point Break), romantic comedy (Garden State, etc) or after breakup (Eternal Sunshine, etc). But a movie where they have ups and downs with the guy finally getting the girl and becoming a couple? Im blank.

You claim you know a lot about movies but are clueless to the most obvious rom/com plot device, since movies began?

Titanic

You really need help with this? Virtually every romantic comedy has this resolution.

THE AWFUL TRUTH (1937)
BRINGING UP BABY (1938)
HOLIDAY (1938)
HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940)
MY FAVORITE WIFE (1940)
THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940)
THE TALK OF THE TOWN (1942)

In fact, pretty much any Cary Grant movie.

Google search: romantic comedy.

Notting Hill does pop into mind too.

THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN... it has the kind of happy, smiley, warm-tingly-all-over feeling he's looking for.
