LonelyVocalist Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Well, I hate romance movies for the most part, and have for a long time, but I do have my exceptions. There are those romance utopias where the guy gets the girl in the end and doesn't have to settle and lives happily ever after (well, I didn't mention vice versa... because I'm a GUY, ok!?) and I call them "romance" utopias. They kind of help my lack of a love life and make me feel slightly happier, no matter how unrealistic and brainlessly optimistic they are. Examples? Some of my favorites that fit in this category are: Hitch Punch-Drunk Love Half Baked The Nutty Professor (first one, second one was crap) Wayne's World Superbad does anybody have any suggestions for me to check out?
crosswordfiend Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I just saw Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. Hilarious and fits the bill.
quankanne Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 The Notebook. Kinda harsh because it deals with Alzheimers, so it's not a happy ever after tale, but it's beauty is that the principles deal with the situation with a certain sense of grace that elevates their love. other faves are "Fools Rush In" with Salma Hayak (ooh mamacita, I'd like to be her for a day!), The Mirror Has Two Faces, The Princess Bride ...

Trialbyfire Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 IF you're looking for a decent romantic comedy, the classic "When Harry Met Sally" is a good one. Billy Crystal is such a whip.

missdeathwish Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I like the non-American ones. Amelie and A Very Long Engagement (Audrey Tatou... cutest girl EVER!) were both great. Amelie was a bit more fun. Another one that is actually a romantic thriller is He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not. It's also an Audrey Tatou flick... but it's definitely not what you'd expect from a romance movie. (It's refreshing, if not uplifting.)
