I know I can't be the only one here who's a sucker for a romcom.. :nervous:

I watched Definitely Maybe the other day and it's one of my favourites of recent years. I can't be the only heterosexual male on the planet who has a thing for these movies. It's almost that time of year and that can only mean one thing. Time to bring out maybe my all time favourite romcom: Love Actually.

Feel free to add your own favourites in this thread.
 
what women want was on the iplayer a few weeks ago. quite good.

turns out the answer wasn't cock though.
 
Forgetting Sarah Marshall pleasantly surprised me. Anything else is a no no unless you're gay, or still trying to get into her pants.
 
I can't remember a single romcom I really liked (unless you count Bergman's Smiles of a Summer Night), but on the other hand I have about ten Austen adaptations on dvd.

I'm a sucker for them too, caveman.

Actually, I like Romance films in general. If you haven't seen Before Sunrise and Before Sunset then I would definitely recommend them, much better than the majority of rubbish in the genre, although they aren't romcoms in the typical sense.

Dan in Real Life is also a great watch.

Definitely Maybe was quite good in my opinion. The cast sure didn't hurt. Same with Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Can't say I've seen any other romantic comedies though.. perhaps I should try out Love Actually one of these days.

Is it bad that I like those types of movies more than my girlfriend does?? :confused:
 
There are shitloads of great romance films, but romcoms are hard to come by nowadays, the older ones are great though -

His Girl Friday
It happened one night
Annie Hall
Roman Holiday

Probably my favourites.
 
Groundhog Day, if thats even considered a romantic comedy.
 
Love Actually is class.

I have the scene where Snape (Alan Rickman) is buying Jewellery, with Mr. Bean serving him, on my iPhone.

"It is but the work of a moment"
 
always loved the spencer tracy/katharine hepburn ones - pat and mike, adams rib, woman of the year

the shop around the corner
the philadelphia story

I dont know if its a romantic comedy as such but Beautiful Girls is an excellent movie.
 
Lost in Translation is a movie I never thought in a million years I would enjoy but I love it. I also like Broken Flowers, in fact if its a comedy with a love interest starring Bill Murray then I like it.
 
The Apartment.
Groundhog Day
Some Like it Hot. . .

would they be classed as romantic comedies?
 
I watched 500 Days of Summer yesterday.
It was good, but I would probably even like Santa Claus Conquers the Martians if it starred Zooey Deschanel.
 
500 Days of Summer was enjoyed by me as well, it was very well produced.
