A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 I didnt know Leap Year (2010) did so bad, especially OS: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=leapyear.htm It is not a strong rom-com, but I thought it was decent.

Shakespeare in Love comes to mind. I thought so ... that's why it took me so long to make this thread. Shakespeare in Love (1998) ? didnt people really hate that one because it won the Oscars ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The Proposal is one of my fave romantic comedies, but it falls way back of When Harry Met Sally, which is my fave of all time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 And lets not forget Woody Allen's "Sleeper" ... maybe a bit weaker on the romantic side but very strong on comedy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatMovieGuy Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I have only recently got into romantic comedies and the reason is Planetes, a japanese anime based in the future about a woman who ends up becoming a debris collector, it was really amazing stuff I noticed that new movie Gravity had some minor resemblances and is probably semi-based off of, it's no surprise even the recent Pacific Rim had many Anime influences well a whole genre of influences actually. Okay so when I think about Romantic Comedy's many films come to mind, Rushmore, Napoleon Dynamite, Back to the Future and even Forrest Gump! I'm sure there's like 95% of people reading this thinking " this person has no idea what he/she is talking about" but to be honest I havean't seen that many romantic Comedies and these are the ones I thought of, all romance is kind of subtle, these stories are mostly about people and their journey which later then leads into a romance, another two movies I would like to mention would be the Korean Films My Sassy Girl and Windstruck, now if you like romantic comedies, i'm almost positive you will love these two films both a little sad and theirs parts like in every movie where you're sitting their thinking "ya Right" but the focus on relationship building and what comes next for people was intriguing to me and I bought into it. Oh and I should Probably Mention Titanic, Of course right. and I guess I'l Mention Salmon Fishing in the Yemen Just because I've never enjoyed a movie like this. I really hold this one up high in the Chick Flick Genre but I was completely suprised by my result i've concluded to in the end, an enjoyable romance, not so much a comedy. Wow the more I type the more movies come to mind so I Guess i'l mention the Wedding Singer, being a music junky really helps you like this one as well as liking Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, I don't particularly like them any way more then any one else in hollywood but I love the roles they played and how they adapted into them, just one really good romantic Comedy. and this one is probably the best suited for this topic, just because it has those elements in it, where Titanic for ex. wouldn't be considered a romantic comedy it would probably just be a Romantic Drama or however you would phrase it. Movies I have yet to see that would probably be on this list: What comes to mind is the Before sunrise trilogy but having yet to see it, I still don't know how much of a comedy it is.

Plain Old Tele Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Dig up THE TALL GUY on Netflix. 1990, Jeff Goldblum, Emma Thompson. Delightfully absurd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) I thought Sabrina (1990) was pretty solid. Is Elizabethtown (2005) worth a watch ? Edited July 20, 2013 by firedeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
