Best Ever Rom-Com

[Mandon Knight]

What is everyone's fave romantic comedy of all time ?

Have a few, but for the sheer brilliance of both elements in one film, I'd say my fave is When Harry Met Sally or About Time a close second.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

This one is easy for me. The Frank Capra film It Happened One Night starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert.

Good shout, great film

 

[Abudefduf]

^ Yeah, that's a very good choice. My personal favorite is probably City Lights, if it counts.

My best friend's wedding. It's a perfect classic.

And that scene where they sing "say a little prayer for you". Beautiful. I miss the lost art of a good rom com

 

[redhawk23]

They Came Together.

 

[Samuron]

This one is easy for me. The Frank Capra film It Happened One Night starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert.

Good call; it's one of only three films to win the top four: Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture.

Though I admit that When Harry Met Sally was the first one to occur to me.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Gifs are cool, with titles it's better.

Very good choice. Definitely my favorite aspect of the film.

I am predictable, like a good rom com.

That we are. t:

Too be fair, their faces hidden. Hard to date.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Hence why I said titles are better.
I will leave it as that, I was taunting anyway, bad form from me, blame it on the post new year eve, we left a whiskey bottle unfinished that I have to end...
Welllll.....

 

[titansupes]

I do thoroughly enjoy As Good As It Gets. And I'm sure there are a couple of worthy Tom Hanks entries.

Maybe I need to put this in the unpopular views thread but Princess Bride, I feel, is SO overrated, I get zero from it. Maybe its me (it is, screams the forum) but I feel nothing from it or for it.

RomComs used to actually be quite good and were enjoyable for both men and women to watch. I feel like after the over saturation of Reese Witherspoon and Katherine Heigl movies people just got turned off of them, and they weren’t as good as they used to be which is quite a shame. There was nothing wrong with the odd RomCom here or there but I can’t really remember any more recently that I’ve seen or that have done well. Outside of Deadpool lol.
