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

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

Didn't vote. So happy to see Fucking Åmål on there. Varför måste vi bo i fucking jävla kuk-Åmål!!!

idk if mordy meant moon river, there are darker possibilities

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

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

DRAMA. ROMANCE.

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

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

BEST EVER

let The Awful Truth go by in silence

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

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

I voted for Dragonseed.

I voted for Demon Seed.

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

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"

"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"

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

off to watch some Rockford Files s1

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

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

Probably something really old

All these great films makes me sad I didn't vote. All the crappy ones makes me even sadder...

BOO @ Scott Pilgrim, the biggest asshole on this list (the movie *and* the character)

yay Working Girl

tbh I'm kinda impressed by the quality of films so far. Certainly a lot more taste represented here than my ballot lol

i liked a lot of the ensemble work in scott pilgrim but there's nothing romantic about "if you want to date me you have to fight my exes while i stand there" imo
