Boy-being Meets Girl-being Under a Silvery Moon (Which Then Explodes for No Adequately Explored Reason): THE ROMANTIC COMEDIES POLL RESULTS THREAD

I liked Scott Pilgrim when I saw it but I've pretty much forgotten everything about it except lol fighting

yeah not going to a "somebody's trolling" zone because there's plenty of other fucked up "romance" right next to it on the list

not the thin man though, that's my shit

I gave SP a vote for visual flair. But yeah, he's an asshole. People are assholes.

biggest asshole on this list (the movie *and* the character)

that's a pretty strange complaint since obviously Knocked Up will be in the top 20

Is that any way to describe Katherine Heigl?

knocked-up Betty Hutton >>>>>>> knocked-up Heigl

Rogen >>>>>>> Bracken

for shooting-range practice, maybe

of course scott pilgrim is an asshole.

forgot all about broadcast news, that's a pretty good movie. lol high fidelity, lol the working girl poster captioning sigourney with THE CAREER BITCH.

the high school girlfriend gets out of scott's orbit at the end and rightly tells him she's too cool for him.

Working Girl had 6 Oscar noms? lol 80s.

harrison ford is so forgettable in that movie, but Melanie Griffiths & Sigourney are awesome

also Joan Cusack is awesome and her hair is AMAZING

seriously, it's all about the women in this movie and they fucking KILL it

lol all you want

wish I'd nominated Pineapple Express now

Working Girl is yuppie horseshit

shush

Nora Charles: Pretty girl.
Nick Charles: Yes. She's a very nice type.
Nora Charles: You got types?
Nick Charles: Only you, darling. Lanky brunettes with wicked jaws.

Harrison Ford could handle that

Working Girl is a romcom if you imagine that the real love/hate is b/w Griffith and Weaver.

I love Roxanne but I didn't vote for it because I forgot all about it

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was better than I expected and it makes me want to go Hawaii but now all I can think of is Jason Segel flapping his junk around and I just can't

I have never seen Bull Durham

John Barrymore going "ting-a-ling-a-ling" at the beginning of TC still makes me laugh out loud

Holiday is the most special Grant-Hepburn movie.

i missed the comedy part of ESOTSM

Jim Carrey gets beat up by a little kid. Ruffalo dances around drunk in his underwear w Dunst. David Cross. there are small jokes in there. I think plenty of it is funny, in among the heartwrenching stuff

find grant/hepburn a lil twee in holiday (and elsewhere) but voted for it cuz lew ayres.

that's it for today kids!

david cross saying "i am MAKING... a BIRDHOUSE" is what came to mind first in terms of eternal sunshine lols. realize that's v minor.

drink to mother, johnny. she tried to be a seton for a while. till she gave up and died.

Glad to see Fucking Åmål and Muriel's Wedding on the list, those were my #2 and #3. (And I suspect my #1 will place high in this poll.) Fucking Åmål is probably heavier and more dramatic than most of the movies in this poll, but there's plenty of comedy in it too, and it's one of my favourite movies of all time, so I had to place it high. I remembering just bawling my eyes out at the cinema when I first saw it. I love that there's a lot of other stuff going on besides the most "shocking" content (lesbian romance between two teen girls, can they admit it to others?), so even if times change and this theme will feel a bit outdated, the movie still works.

Funnier than twentieth century, anyway.

oh man just realized I forgot to vote for Flirting >:(
