Finally, some justice for Four Weddings and a Funeral. Also I find it crazy not to include When Harry met Sally which is superior to any other rom-com that Meg Ryan did and should be a strong contender for the top 3 positions.

You've Got Mail is probably my favorite of all time with Love Actually the follow-up. The others are also great, but I watch YGM at least every other month. I'm a bookstore lover, so I'm sure that plays a huge role, along with my undying love of the Hanks and Ryan duo in their films. Further, I think email back then was as close to letter writing as one could get. I actually miss the AOL dial-up and iconic, "You've Got Mail."

Not sure why "Love Actually" was 'Honorable Mention' and not in the top ten, as you had its writer (Richard Curtis) as your #1/2 film author. It's far better than half the top ten you picked (IMO of course). Late Edit -- and where is Jerry McGuire? (speaking of quotable RomComs!)
