Okay, there are a lot of really bad romantic comedies out there (ie. Because I Said So, The Prince and Me, Catch and Release), but when they are good, I absolutely love them. Using the term somewhat broadly, here are some of my all-time favorites:
Amelie - the original is rated R, but you can borrow my edited copy anytime. This is one of my absolute favorite movies, and it still melts my heart every time I watch it.
Groundhog Day - a romantic comedy that is as funny as it is romantic. Gets better with each viewing. A little side fact: Chad and I got engaged on Groundhog Day, and I happened to watch this movie that day as well. Wooooo.
As Good As It Gets - An almost cynical love story that is still sweet. It is funniest when I watch it with Chad.
Pride and Prejudice - No one mixes comedy and romance like Jane Austen. I still love the BBC version, but I love the different Darcy interpretation in the new one. Yes, the climax is somewhat silly with them nuzzling in the field, but awwwww, is still makes my skin tingle. This is Katie's ultimate-lie-in-bed-with-tissues-movie. I saw it probably six times last year alone.
You've Got Mail - I didn't really care for this one the first time I saw it, but the more times I watched it on TBS, the more I loved it. What? A movie where the two main characters are friends long before they even kiss? NO WAY!
Anne of Green Gables - Gilbert Blythe still makes my heart thump a little harder. If only the next two movies where as good/faithful to the books. I am a huge fan of the books (like I still read all of them every year) and I am telling you, I just don't know why someone hasn't remade Anne of Green Gables yet with some decent sequels. That darn third movie, don't even get me started on it, with Anne and her smoker's voice, Gilbert's receeding hairline, and the war that Anne's sons actually fought in in the books.....GRRRRRR.
