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

i'm not sure i would have put it at the top of my ballot, though. holiday is more human.

we're in perfect alignment

<3

and Cary Grant is so damn sleek in it, like an otter

Tracy Lord's being 'tamed' is sort of a neat prophecy of Hepburn's late career -- say after 1967 -- when she kept doing the kate thing mostly in disposable movies, w/out true bite.

(not that it didnt happen earlier, as in that lousy reshot climax to Woman of the Year)

btw if it hadn't been made for TV i'd have voted for this, her last great comic role

So, are we gonna get the top 10 soon?

results blew away with a gust of wind when Shakey's mother-in-law opened a window

THAT'd be a RC if the threesome hadn't been cut

(I mean why do you think they had Walter act without his dentures)

OK kids GET READY

Margaret Sullavan's voice is one of the wonders of the western world.

Her selling the music box to the fat woman = gem.

Wonder how many of these will have figured in even half the ballots.

Shameful omission from my ballot. lolxp

goddamn it's an adorable movie

(The only reason I didn't vote for it is because I think of it as a Christmas movie, which now I feel like a total goob for even saying out loud)

i don't get 40 year old virgin rating so high. I mean, I liked it but jeez

xpost YAAAAY

sorry shakey but I love it

"I've lost a lot of money."

"Well, maybe you left it in your other suit."

could watch Alice Brady + Eugene Pallette in a sitcom.

this is on cable all the time so I feel like I've seen it (well, parts of it) an awful lot. the pacing of it is really great, the only false note is really the sappy bit at the end when he crashes through the billboard on his bike, it's just unnecessary. otherwise the ensemble cast makes it, all of the supporting characters add depth to it.

i don't get 40 year old virgin rating so high. I mean, I liked it but jeez

it got 8 votes where the movies before and after got 6, so it's more of a general thumbs up than a BEST MOVIE EVER thing

yeah the action chase sequence at the end of 40yo is really pro forma but great ensemble, and i appreciate how they get at the pathos of carell's haplessness without suggesting he's an unspoiled dreamboat or something.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall > 40yo Virgin imo but I didn't vote so eh.

Don't love any of these top 10ers, but whatever keeps the path clear for Annie Hall's fine with me.

the cellphone jokes in this movie don't even register as jokes anymore

they remind me of the CD longbox joke in Defending Your Life

Sex. Clothes.
Is There Popularity.
A Problem Here?

is Dr. Nadir screaming in a restroom stall?

i need a mood bump after this, so i'm off to chemo.
