As promised...

Nearly forgot about this list. My favorite Romantic Comedies.

Princess Bride
So classic, every one can find something to love about it. From Inigo's "You killed my father, prepare to die" to Westley's "Good work, sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning" its full of eternally quoteable lines.


Roxanne
Steve Martin as a Romantic Lead is a surprisingly good choice. He balances self loathing with enough humor to make others think he doesn't care how he looks, and the female lead becomes friends first. And it's based on a pretty cool play, Cerano De Bergerac (Steve Martin's character's name is initialed as CD. Clever no?)


My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Because it reminds me of my own family. Love them, because you can't really get away from them.


10 Things I Hate About You
I like the interaction between the rival characters, and the sisters relationship is very realistically portrayed. And the music selection rocks. Plus, Heath Leger is in it, and he is so much fun to watch on screen. Plus the father's humor reminds me of my own dad.


Romancing the Stone
A romance novleist has to help her sister who is in major trouble, and meets the personification of her male romantic character on the way. The banter between the two leads is funny and charming, and you've got to like a guy who will make gator skin boots from a gator he killed.


Her Minor Thing
Slightly naive software programer is dating a tv anchorman but ends up in the middle of a battle between the sexes when her boyfriend lets it slip that she's a virgin. Cue his new-in-town camera man who moonlights as a photographer and runs into out never-clumsy, always in a good mood female lead. Cute story, likeable characters and the wonderful line "Tell her I love her. Like never before and never again."
(and yes that is DiNozzo as the Boyfriend!)


Some Like It Hot
Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis, two amazing actors with sex symbol Marylin Monroe. What could be better than that? Love, Music and the Mob!


Simply Irresistible
This has gotten bad reviews, but I'm a sucker for things like this. A chef who can't cook well finds the talent in her when she buys crabs at the behest of a man who comes and goes mysteriously and cant mind his own business and runs into a high profile store manager arranging a menu for his restaurant's opening night. With the ability to transfer her emotions to her clients through the food she cooks, you have to suspend your disbelief to truly love it like I do.


Sweet Home Alabama
Maybe it's just because I love the south and kinda wish I could move there, this movie has major appeal to me. Hicks, gentlemen and Civil War reenactors, this movie makes me wish I knew the life down South better than just through stereotypes. Plus, Reese Witherspoon is SO CUTE.


The Proposal
I had to get something from Sandra Bullock on here. She's too spectacular to just gloss over. Love it love it love it, even if the grandmother is immensely off kilter. I wish the pacing had been a little slower, but we cant have everything in life. This movie makes me wish I could go to Alaska, just to see if it's that scenic and serene. I think I could like a slower paced life. I just don't think I could handle the cold.
