'Dirty Girls'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I liked Sandra in the Lake House with Keeanu.
I find this one melancholic and lovely. It's a remake of a Korean flick, actually -- the original is also quite watchable.
Addicted to Love.
HA! I agree. 'Cause Meg Ryan's character is a complete psycho and Matt Broderick is a creepy stalker, and the film acutally acknowledges that. The happy ending is kind of hard to buy because of that. My guess is that they'd do each other in within a month.
Sliding Doors -- yeap, I think it'd qualify.
Oh, I loved Sliding Doors. I forgot about that movie. I also have a weird love for The Mexican, which is only sort of a romantic comedy, but it really worked for me.
Groundhog Day is about romance and Phil's journey, but mostly about Phil's journey. Do most rom-com's deal with only one person's growth? I thought both usually grow.
"10 Things I Hate About You" is a rom com that stays in my heart.
Oh, I loved Sliding Doors. I forgot about that movie.
I think of it as: the movie where Gwyneth gets an excellent haircut.

Heart and Souls is all about RDJ's character growth.
Amy, I liked "The Mexican" because of James Gandolfini. He is awesome and watchable in everything.
"10 Things I Hate About You" is a rom com that stays in my heart.
There's a popular movie I hate. I find it hard to appreciate Julia Stiles. Despite my love for Heath and JGL.
I think When Harry Met Sally might be my favourite rom com. I've just seen it so many times, it's branded in my brain. We had it on loop in my apartment for what felt like weeks.
But my weakness for Grosse Pointe Blank is legendary. Martin Blank is my Lloyd Dobler.
Oh, I loved Sliding Doors.
Yeah, I really loved the premise, and it was a fun movie.

Yeah, I remember liking it quite a bit too. It's more of a drama than a comedy, despite the marketing, but once you adjust your expectations to what movie it actually is, it's good.
"10 Things I Hate About You" is a rom com that stays in my heart.
I love this one, but I caught it a few weeks ago on a random channel and watching Heath Ledger made me so sad, I had to turn it off.
The "Can't Take My Eyes off of You" serenading scene is so freakin' awesome. Maaaaan, the boy was charismatic.
I HATE Taming of the Shrew but the movie deals well with the WTFness of the premise without making your modern feminist sensibilities explode in rage. Come to think of it, that "Shakespeare Re-imagined" series on BBC also did a nice job with that.
It didn't hurt that Rufus Sewell played the modern-day Petruchio, either.
