I've taught Hollywood Romantic Comedy a few times. Some of my (admittedly
American-centric) favorite meet cutes are listed below.

Classical:
*Trouble in Paradise*
*Bringing Up Baby
The Lady Eve
*
Post-classical/contemporary:
*Harold & Maude
Girlfriends
D.E.B.S.*
*She's Gotta Have It*
*Bridget Jones' Diary*

These aren't exactly romcoms, but they have good first meetings between
their romantic leads:
*Double Indemnity
The Birds
Out of Sight*
