Aims reminded me--Wedding Singer I think of as a really good romcom.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I was about to say that aside from indie gay films the only romantic comedies I own are Amélie and Mamma Mia! but then I checked and was horrified to discover I also have that Amanda Bynes She's the Man movie.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Oh, Big Eden! Though that's not totally a comedy. But it's a great romance.

The Lion in Winter is my kind of RomCom. Also, my favorite Xmas movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Say Anything is the only rom com I seem to own. Though I did wonder for a second if A Fish Called Wanda counted. But I'm thinking no. NSM with the comedy in my collection, or the happy ending romance, except as by product of action movie. And even then...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Second vote for Big Eden. Tim DeKay had to totally overcome his character in it for me to trust and like Peter on WC, though.

Also, Shag: The Movie and Out of Sight, which seems more rom-com than anything else.

Our wings are not tired.
I always say Soderbergh is a genius for actually getting acting from Andie McDowell, Julia Roberts, and Jennifer Lopez.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Also, my favorite Xmas movie.
Mine is probably The Ref at this point (apart from some of the classics that I have an undying fondness for). Gremlins gives it a run for the money, though.
Though I did wonder for a second if A Fish Called Wanda counted.
Oh, that's totally a rom-com in my book. But that book includes the movies I mentioned earlier, so...

The Ref rocks...that family is too much like mine, though. Not even kidding.
