Caroline Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Some great suggestions!!! I need to match these with Netflix. My favorite all-time is My Best Friend's Wedding, though they don't end up together in the end, lol. But they end up how they should end up. I love this movie, too. The moment I wake up, before I put on my make up... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite all-time is My Best Friend's Wedding,,.<spoiler removed> You need a spoiler alert there! I tried to like that movie but spent too much time cringing in shame over Julia Roberts' behavior to really enjoy it!

Greta Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I'm guessing some people don't quite fully grasp what "rom-com" means, because I'm scratching my head over some of these recommendations. As I was reading this thread I was thinking "oh dear, I seem to have very different tastes in rom-coms compared to my fellow WTMers. Why am I always the weird one?" But maybe part of it is that I have a different definition of rom-com. (And, also, that I'm always the weird one.) When I think of rom-com, I think My Big Fat Greek Wedding, not Pride and Prejudice. I dunno. I love both, but I would only put one in that category. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Has Leap Year been mentioned yet? I thought it was quite cute. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wouldn't think to put Pride and Prejudice (my favorite movie!) in the rom-com category either, though I think MANY parts of it are hugely funny. I have a slightly strange sense of humor though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slackermom Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Has Leap Year been mentioned yet? I thought it was quite cute. I have been meaning to watch this one. I just put it on my Amazon watch list, thanks. Even though it will cost me 2.99, I do like the cast, and I need a rom-com now. just edited to remove video from quote.

Artichoke Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 <SNIP> I have a special fondness for the Rock Hudson & Doris Day movies, but I'm not sure any of them are must-see. More fun. As a kid I loved Return to the Blue Lagoon and Bare Essentials, both early 90's desert island movies. Pillow Talk Is a must see. Doris Day and James Garner are hilarious in Move Over Darling. It's on Netflix right now. How To Marry a Millionaire is a good but slow movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a slightly strange sense of humor though. I agree, its humor is one of the things that makes it such a great story! But since (to me, at least) the humor isn't the major point or focus of the story, I don't think of it as rom-com. But, I can certainly see how others would see it differently. However you want to label it, it IS a great movie (and book)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How To Marry a Millionaire is a good but slow movie. but it has some great lines . . . I happen to like older men, just look at that old guy what's his name in African queen . .. . (said by lauren bacall in reference to her irl husband, humphrey bogart.) marilyn Monroe really was a gifted comedienne. she had great timing and delivery.

I listed that one above as my favorite! :D I love it -- Bonnie Hunt is so funny (as is the rest of the cast). I love all the "old men," I love the Swiss water scene, LOL. Everything about it. :001_wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
