Alright: to answer the original question, I think my two favorite romantic movies are tied between Love Actually and The Notebook. I wouldn't classify either as a romantic comedy...though each have their funny bits. For a romantic comedy, I'd suggest Serendipity or Bridget Jones Diary (and if you like this, you should see Pride and Prejudice, Colin Firth edition).

I just tried to read Nexa's post backwards but it didn't make any sense.

Won't lovers revolt now?

Hey.. Love Actually was a good movie. I kinda saw it by accident. I wasn't expecting it to be good, but a friend made me see it. I thought it was great.

I've seen all the movies she listed but they're such chick flicks it makes my eyes hurt. Nothing original just neo-romantic garbage that tried to catch the Sex and the City wave. (Except Pride and Prejudice)

I really enjoyed Love Actually, and Holiday is good, too, and very similar.

Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley is awesome.

I enjoyed Garden State. I'm not really sure if it falls under "Romantic Comedy," but it was a pretty good movie, and the soundtrack is great.

I've hated Zach Braff in everything except Scrubs. Probably because every character he plays is only a quarter-step removed from JD.

Speaking of Sex & the City before, I can't stand Sarah Jessica Parker as an actress. I have nothing against her personally and don't wish her harm but I've never been able to empathize with any of her characters. The woman just can't act in a way to make me give two ***** about her.

Bridget Jones Diary is nothing more than the modern adaptation of Pride and Prejudice just as 10 Things I Hate About you is Taming of the Shrew and Clueless is Emma. If there's a way we can interest kids in the classics, so be it. They're like pop-cliff's notes.

Classic to modern adaptation fav: Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

Everytime I see her, I still feel nostalgia for flight of the navigator.

Oh, and lastly, one of my favorite romantic movies that also generally appeals to the male audience: True Romance.

I knew 10 Things I Hate About You was really an updated Taming Of The Shrew because I had actually seen it, but I was not aware of the Bridget Jones or Emma comparisons.

I will have to see those movies now.

Also, I think Brokeback Mountain is actually one of the sweetest, most heartbreaking love stories that Hollywood has had to offer.

I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that the first time I saw an actual adaptation of Emma, I was only able to follow the plot because I had seen Clueless.

I love the Gwyneth Paltrow version of Emma best, and if you like period pieces like that, go for the Emma Thompson version of Sense and Sensibility. Fabulous cast, one of my favorite movies.

My husband will owe you a debt of thanks when I get back from Blockbuster with both of these movies.

Whenever I hear that word, I can't help but recall Young Frankenstein.

Dr. Frankenstein: Igor, would you mind telling me whose brain I did put in?
Igor: And you won't be angry?
Dr. Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry.
Igor: Abby... someone.
Dr. Frankenstein: Abby someone. Abby who?
Igor: Abby... Normal.
Dr. Frankenstein: Abby Normal?
Igor: I'm almost sure that was the name.
Dr. Frankenstein: Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME?

I was actually being sarcastic, meaning he wouldn't want to watch them. But you make a good point.

Uh, no pun intended.
