Natter 46: The FIGHTIN' 46
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
see, he was my secret tv boyfriend before her character ever showed up. I swear ABC was reading my emails/posts.
anyhoo - I just looked at my top rated Romantic Comedies on Netflix...
Amelie, Funny Face, Garden State, Princess Bride, Roman Holiday, Something Wild, The American President, Beautiful Girls, Better Off Dead, Bull Durham, Sliding Doors
This is more general than what you're asking for, but I do love to analyze, so... I think for me romance on screen tends to spring from people behaving
differently.
When someone honest is guarded, when someone confident hesitates, when someone callous is tender, when someone glib starts stammering, when someone quiet starts babbling. It's that contrast that lets you know it's important to them. And the rest follows from that.
Strega's a very smart lady.
I watched half of Something New without sound and that's a good source, too. Plus, that dude. Who is pretty in a way I don't normally notice.
On my resume, where do I put "Author" and how do I document that?

You do a different kind of resume, and put your writing experience on the top, and your dayjob work experience below and less emphasized.
Basically you have a Writer's Resume which is separate from your Regular Job Resume. So list all your popgurls and online writing stuff.
Romantic scenes: The Big Sleep - the banter between Bogie and Bacall (over horses). Also! His scene with Dorothy Maguire in the bookstore. He comes on like a nerd, and she sees its an act and she takes off her glasses and...
Xander buying Cordelia the Prom dress.

Does that look like ass?
Thank you, you guys!
Strega, that is such a smart point.
Along the lines of what Strega said, the scene in the diner in "The Zero Effect," when he tells her stuff that sounds an awful lot like it might actually be true, and then
forgets the receipt!!!
Oh! Oh! TV: In "Coupling," Steve's speech about looking at naked bottoms at the end of "Inferno," or rather the end and the bit just after, with the realizing what he's just said. Both comical and romantic! Actually, quite a lot of Steve stuff on "Coupling."
ETA: Oh! The, um, the scene in "Truly Madly Deeply" where, uh... actually, I can't so much think of a particular scene for the romance. For the total sadness, and the heart-touching followed by comedy, but not so much the romance. Other than the scene with the Pablo Neruda poem, which, well, having brought it to mind I think I'll go off and cry now.
