Recommend me a good romcom movie (Gf - Christmas related)

#1 Post by Mescal » Thu Dec 22, 2016 2:44 pm

I honestly can't think of any romcom movie I'd want to see.

Thought I must say I enjoyed What women want, and even Titanic.

I think Pretty Woman is the only decent one I know. 99% of "romcoms" are torture

It's over 20 years old now, but Muriel's Wedding is really funny and enjoyable.

Review

A pungently witty classic which was remade 15 years later as High Society. The original is still the best, a superb piece of escapism, with James Stewart, then only 31, acclaimed Forties' best actor for his performance as Mac. Donald Ogden Stewart deservedly took the writer's award for the best screenplay of the year. Katharine Hepburn, too, was nominated for an Academy Award (she lost it to Ginger Rogers in Kitty Foyle) in her role as Tracy Lord, the poor little rich girl dissatisfied with the men in her life. The film, which co-stars the impeccable Cary Grant, belongs to a now-extinct, highly-polished, sophisticated light Hollywood comedy style in which a thin story was made to race along beautifully on the wings of excellent dialogue and elegant stars. These days Hollywood is still turning out comedies with featherweight scripts and acting talent to match. This breezy masterpiece with three big stars reminds us what we're missing.

I have never seen Titantic and would not think to categorize it as a rom-com. :confused: :lol:

However, if you are looking for something dark try Love Me if You Dare.

Love Actually is irreverent enough that I enjoy watching it with my wife. It's very British.

I was going to suggest Love Actually too. Or if you want the greatest Christmas movie of all time I vote Trading Places!

Try this one: Love, Rosie. Nothing shocking but the wife will love it.

I vote for Love Actually, too. Another recent one (from last year) that I enjoyed was Christmas with the Coopers...Olivia Wilde :boobs:
P.S. Amanda Seyfried is in it too :noclue:
