richard jenkins and mary steenburgen get married in it but i guess you people don't care about elder love
lol Morrissey read the last few pages of this thread about When Harry Met Sally, saw somebody post "WHMS" being one of the best rom coms, and thought they meant Wet Hot American Summer.
Wedding Crashers won my Rom Com bracket a few years ago bc my followers are morons. It was that vs the Wedding Singer
I’m gonna keep talking about Chilly Scenes of Winter until more people watch it. Very dark romantic comedy a decade before stuff like Better Off Dead tried a similar thing. Pretty brilliant film.
You’ve Got Mail is probably my favorite romcom, just because I’ve seen it in part or full the most. It’s one that my mom always loved (which is funny, because she’s now 80 and has never been computer literate).
When Harry Met Sally is the GOAT Rom Com imo. You’ve Got Mail is up there. I can never remember many others off the top of my head. I remember liking Nine Months with Hugh Grant. The Wedding Singer I never considered it a rom com because it’s just a “Sandler movie” in my head but yeah I guess it is indeed a rom com and very good one. I remember my mom loved While You Were Sleeping. Not sure if all those teen movies of the late 90s count as rom coms? i wouldn’t really consider Forgetting Sarah Marshall a romcom but it is right up there with Wedding Crashers and Superbad as best of that era of comedies imo. Those 3 are a notch above the other ones everyone always names imo (Anchorman, Dodgeball, Old School, Knocked Up, Zoolander, etc)
I don’t think I ever considered 500 Days a rom com either but yeah I guess it is? Haha but yeah if it is it’s also up there for me
It's a comedy about romance with a clear stereotypical meet cute setup. It just kinda diverts midway and subverts the entire genre.
It still holds up. Actually during the woke era it held up even more as people began to re-analyze it and understand what they were trying to say about the toxic ways many "sensitive and nice" men view relationships with women.
