whoa I didn't even know the rollout had started

a lot of these I haven't seen or don't feel v strongly about, but I voted for Moonstruck & Muriel's Wedding :D

SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:03 (eleven years ago)

my fave scenes in Moonstruck were between John Mahoney and Olympia Dukakis

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:05 (eleven years ago)

yeah they were fantastic -- Mahoney had such a small role but so memorable!!

SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:27 (eleven years ago)

as 'romcoms' written by John Patrick Shanley go I prefer Five Corners, where John Turturro stalks Jodie Foster and throws his mama out the window.

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:30 (eleven years ago)

Five Corners is good, p odd movie

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:40 (eleven years ago)

I haven't seen Moonstruck, but Mahoney is also the key to Say Anything

rob, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:49 (eleven years ago)

Moonstruck hits all the right notes for me, has a terrific cast...and I adore Cher.

SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:58 (eleven years ago)

the best two parts of that movie:

"a bride without a head!" "a wolf without a foot!"

and:

"Bring me the big knife. I want to cut my throat." < which i love to quote

yeah I saw Enough Said recently and it was okay I guess but p unremarkable

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 22:37 (eleven years ago)

oh I loved it -- I just forgot about it.

I Know Where I'm Going![ is such a strange fairy tale. Glad to see it here.

god I wish Roger Livesey was in more movies, or had at least ended up doing some voiceover work

i still need to see enough said, been sitting on the dvr

idk if mordy meant moon river, there are darker possibilities

― difficult listening hour, Wednesday, August 27, 2014 4:16 PM (2 hours ago)

lol i just realized this could've possibly meant the deep blue something song. i meant "moon river."

Mordy, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 23:01 (eleven years ago)

Yeah ppl, quote fucking Moonstruck (too cute by a half), let The Awful Truth go by in silence.

Enough Said should be about 500th.

I Know Where I'm Going! is great. AAAAND NOOOOOT A FUUUUUCKING ROMANTIC COMMMMMEDDDYYYYYYYYY

you can't just shut up and stop acting like George Will can you

hey guys, check out the genre labels under the film title on the iMdB

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037800/?ref_=nv_sr_1

DRAMA. ROMANCE.

you can't just get your yuks reading The Corner, can you

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 August 2014 00:51 (eleven years ago)

'Dan' Leeson: I certainly learned about women from you.
Aunt Patsy: [handing him a Dear John letter] Here's your diploma.

BEST EVER

Better to say nothing at all than, et al.

I do love that this poll is twisting Morbs into fits over movies he actually LIKES placing, for a change.

pretty sure Asta would treat him like Ralph Bellamy.

don't worry Eric, Make Way for Tomorrow may yet show up here

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 August 2014 00:58 (eleven years ago)

Morbius: you're so well behaved over on the Ramones countdown, and so angry on the romantic-comedy countdown. Odd symmetry.

clemenza, Thursday, 28 August 2014 00:58 (eleven years ago)

I voted for Dragonseed.

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 28 August 2014 01:00 (eleven years ago)

I voted for Demon Seed.

a guy named Christian White who represents the typical white Christian (Eric H.), Thursday, 28 August 2014 01:00 (eleven years ago)

people on the Ramones poll seem to have heard the Ramones.

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 August 2014 01:02 (eleven years ago)

pretty sure people on this thread have seen Moonstruck.

that's the problem

"sorry to be seething with contempt but i have a really high standard when it comes to romantic comedies"

da croupier, Thursday, 28 August 2014 01:05 (eleven years ago)

"the idea of people settling for films nowhere as warm and hilarious as the ones i enjoy...it just makes me want to berate them endlessly"

da croupier, Thursday, 28 August 2014 01:08 (eleven years ago)

If we're conflating "romantic comedy" with "screwball comedy," then "warm" isn't at issue.

a guy named Christian White who represents the typical white Christian (Eric H.), Thursday, 28 August 2014 01:10 (eleven years ago)

off to watch some Rockford Files s1

croup, i forget what this is from... "shit in your hat and punch it"

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 August 2014 01:10 (eleven years ago)

well, romance in the movies is bullshit, just like love songs in pop

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 August 2014 01:11 (eleven years ago)

Probably something really old
