Comedy feel good

From a talking freeway billboard guiding a wacky weatherman’s love life to a meteorologist melting down live on-air, these are the best movies forecasting laughs and romance behind the weather desk. In L.A. Story (1991): A wacky weatherman enlists the help of a talking freeway billboard to win the heart of an English reporter in early-90s Los Angeles. Equally memorable is The Weather Man (2005): A Chicago weatherman separated from his family questions whether professional success and personal happiness can coexist.
