I'm sure everyone will agree. Here are the 50 best Rom-Coms. -- (link) - Volnelk Apr 18, 09:12 29
- Punch Drunk Love, 10 Things and High Fidelity are top 10. -- nm - Spawn Apr 18, 10:23
- Nice to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall getting some love -- nm - Baruno Apr 18, 10:04 2
  - Easily one of the most surprisingly enjoyable movies I’ve ever watched. -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 10:19 1
    - Yep. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 18, 10:24
- My top 10 would have Silver Linings Playbook, 10 Things, Princess Bride and Bull Durham. I think they've overrated others like Hitch and WYWS -- nm - crash davis Apr 18, 09:54
- 10 Things is too low (shouldn't be behind any Heigl) and Princess Bride is too too low as well, but that's a solid top 5. - Will Hunting Apr 18, 09:26 14
  - I'm the person who doesn't love ten things. do you guys know that? -- nm* - amanda Apr 18, 09:40 9
    - I am the person who doesn't like Easy A. The character's motivation makes zero sense. -- nm - Andie Apr 18, 10:11 4
      - Ego and boredom. It’s like the motivations of many teens. -- nm - Qale Apr 18, 10:27
      - I don’t get the Easy A love either. It never clicked. - Will Hunting Apr 18, 10:18 1
        
        Oh that should be on mine, editing. -- nm - MDH Apr 18, 10:20
      - Now these are fighting words. -- nm - MDH Apr 18, 10:12
    - Yeah, and when you said it the shiteth hath hitteth the fan…eth. -- nm - Qale Apr 18, 10:05
    - I dont either. And I was exactly the right age for it. -- nm - MDH Apr 18, 10:00
    - I’m sorry, what? -- nm - spamlet Apr 18, 09:48
    - We all talk about you not liking 10 things behind your back. Oh crap, I would add Casanova to the list. -- nm - Max Apr 18, 09:44
  - Princess Bride isn't strictly rom-com though..it should be on there due to both elements, but there is a lot more going on. -- nm - colin Apr 18, 09:29 3
    - It’s more accurately categorized as an adventure comedy, imo. - znufrii Apr 18, 10:01
    - It’s arguably a top tier both. It’s hysterically funny and amazingly sweet romantic -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 18, 09:57
    - I agree. I would never have called it a rom com. -- nm - amanda Apr 18, 09:42
- Groundhog Day too low, 27 Dresses too present. I want Stranger Than Fiction on the list even if it's on the edge of the genre. -- nm - Max Apr 18, 09:20 7
  - I'd also swap in: Seems Like Old Times, Better Off Dead, Murphy's Romance, Overboard, Away We Go, She's Out of My League. - Max Apr 18, 09:34 6
    - SLOT and BOD for sure. have I seen murphy's romance? have you seen what if? -- nm - amanda Apr 18, 09:39 5
      - I do like What If! I can never remember if I actually saw it as The F Word. -- (link) - Max Apr 18, 09:43 [youtube] 4
        
        Wasn't it What If? in the US and The F Word in Canada? -- nm - Andie Apr 18, 09:48 3
        
        yes. and it is a *delight.* -- nm - amanda Apr 18, 09:49 1
        
        oh, I would also have a lot like love on my list. obviously. -- nm - amanda Apr 18, 09:50
        
        I'm pretty sure yes but every time mandy mentions it I always have to look it up and then say "oh, The F Word, I saw that." -- nm - Max Apr 18, 09:49
- the fact that they excluded What Women Want destroys the credibility of this list. - colin Apr 18, 09:18

Dano or znufrii - either/both of you interested in coming to the Biffy Clyro show next Monday in Philly? - JaxSean Apr 18, 08:39 5
- I’d love to, but likely won’t be able to get my act together to get into the city on a Monday night. -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 10:21
- I had thought the show was on a Sunday. It would be difficult for me to make it on a Monday, so I will pass. -- nm - Dano Apr 18, 08:43 3
  - Yep, no worries. - JaxSean Apr 18, 08:57 2
    - I saw your post about the Vegas show and would have loved to meet up with you, but I have a commitment here on the 5th :( -- nm - Meg Apr 18, 09:28 1
