What is your favourite romantic comedy?
I’m trying to find a movie to watch that I haven’t yet seen. Lately I’ve been on a romantic comedy kind of thing. I watched, The Women, I watched Pretty Woman, and I watched The Wedding Planner. What do you guys suggest?

Bringing up Baby…with a young and gorgeous Cary Grant and ditto Katherine Hepburn. Made in 1938 but has aged very well.
Sleepless in Seattle
When Harry Met Sally
An Affair to Remember
Charade(1963_film) with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant again (it is 1963 and he is still gorgeous).
Fools Rush In
with Salma Hayek and Matthew Perry
When Harry Met Sally
with Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan
It Happened One Night
with Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable
Oldies:
The Philadelphia Story
Holiday
(what can I say, I love Kate)
I love the Nora Ephron ones as well, and I would add the fun John Hughes rom-coms, like
Some Kind of Wonderful
Pretty in Pink
And then there are some that are dear to my heart, even if lesser known, like
Crossing Delancy
Truly Madly Deeply
^^ clip mostly for @Kardamom, who I’m sure will be along soon. :)
@SuperMouse: My wife and I, our first date, was to go see Moonstruck.
My Best Friends Wedding!!!!!!!
Easy A
My Best Friend’s Wedding
Juno
50 First Dates
Woody Allen’s “Manhattan” and “Annie Hall”
Nora Ephron’s “Sleepless in Seattle”
Billy Wilder’s “Some Like It Hot”
Steven Soderbergh’s “Out of Sight”
Tom Hank’s “That Thing You Do”
Crazy, Stupid Love. Hands down!
Moonstruck hands down. Crazy Stupid Love a very close second.
Also, Love Actually. How bout that.
I was raised on Bringing up Baby, Charade, and Arsenic and Old Lace, and still swear by them.
Romantic Comedy starring Dudley Moore and Mary Steenburgen
It’s Complicated starring Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep
Something’s Gotta Give starring Jack Nicolson and Diane Keaton
Rueben, Rueben starring Tom Conti and Kelly McGillis
Austin Powers The Man Who Shagged Me starring Mike Meyers and Heather Graham.
Shakespeare in Love.
Okay not really a comedy but I can’t stand typical rom coms and I love that movie.
I don’t typically do the rom-com thing, but I thought The Ugly Truth was hilarious.
Not necessarily my favorite (so many great ones mentioned above) but to add to the mix:
“So I Married an Axe Murderer” Mike Myers and Nancy Travis
I’m surprised no one has mentioned The Apartment yet. I also like Silver Linings Playbook, Sideways, Beginners, Lost in Translation, 500 Days of Summer, and Garden State.
Young Frankenstein
roll roll, roll in zee hay
Ladyhawke and the Lake House
Crazy, Stupid Love and Moonstruck are favorites of mine.
What’s Up Doc
Annie Hall
Ghost
Wall-E
Don’t do chick flicks, but those are exceptions to an otherwise yawn filled rule.
@rockfan Thanks for mentioning Silver Linings Playbook, I loved the movie!
I don’t usually like rom-coms but I really enjoyed Elizabethtown.
The Truth About Cats and Dogs.
He’s Just Not That Into You.
The Ugly Truth.
Crazy, Stupid Love.
Norbit.
Shrek.
House Bunny.
How Do You Know?
The Rebound.
Pitch Perfect.
Mean Girls.
Aaaaand, again, my all time favorite movie Warm Bodies.
Away We Go
Safety Not Guaranteed
Amélie It’s so clever and quirky that it so worth it, even if you aren’t a fan of subtitles. We found it on Netflix, but it’s one that I’d spend the money to purchase it.
Another is Serendipity. It’s one where you can’t help but hope that the couple meet again despite all of the odds against it. Jeremy Pivin’s role as the comic sidekick of John Cusack is in fine form.
@jordym84 One of the main reasons I like it alot is because of DeNiro’s performance, it took him so long to be in a good movie again. I also love the complete random casting choice of Chris Tucker, his character was surprisingly mellow and down to earth, and added alot of warmth to the movie, unlike alot of other characters he’s played.
Thanks everyone! I look forward to slowly conquering this “to watch” list :)
I liked The Upside of Anger (rom-com?), You’ve Got Mail, Crossing Delancey, and Bridget Jone’s Diary.
@rockfan Agreed!!
I almost forgot to mention another all-time favorite: Midnight in Paris.

1975 Chinese movie “Cheung Mou Neui” (Girl With Long Hair) quite funny.
High Fidelty with John Cusack
funny movies:
2 Days in the Valley
My Cousin Vinny
Ladyhawke is a nice romantic comedy. It is an old movie but well worth it. It stars Rutger Hauer, Michele Pfieffer, and Matthew Broderick.
“HER” must watch movie, give it a try.
@AssyrianKing9 Loved that movie, it had a perfect balance of comedy and drama
@rockfan glad that you did, I saw it three times, very touching.
