My Favorite Rom-Coms

08/27/13 | movies

After a weekend of movie marathons in is only natural that I share my top five rom-coms.  For those of you who do not know rom-coms are by definition are comedies in film based around the romantic relationships of the characters, [rom(antic) + com(edy)].  This is my favorite movie genre and while I could rattle off  dozens and dozens of films I like in this category today I am sharing with you my top five. 
These five movies have a special place in my heart. They may not be the highest quality films ever made or have won the most honors for cinematography but they do not fail to put a smile on my face every time I see them.  Do you know these movies without me naming them? Can you identify my top five with only a screen shot and a single quote from one of my favorite scenes? 

Edward: People’s reactions to opera the first time they see it is very dramatic; they either love it or they hate it. If they love it, they will always love it. If they don’t, they may learn to appreciate it, but it will never become part of their soul.

Graham: I have another scenario for you – I’m in love with you. I apologize for the blunt delivery, but as problematic as this fact may be, I’m in love… with YOU. I’m not feeling this because you’re leaving, and not because it feels good to feel this way… which, by the way, it does, or did before you went off like that. I can’t figure out the mathematics of this, I just know I love you. I can’t believe how many times I’m saying it! And I never thought I’d feel this way again, so that’s pretty phenomenal. And I realize that I come as a package deal: three for the price of one. I know my package, perhaps in the light of day, isn’t all that wonderful, but I finally know what I want and that, in itself, is a miracle. And what I want is YOU. 

Josie: That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you’re supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time.    

Mark: I don’t think you’re an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother’s pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly bad public speaker. And, um, you tend to let whatever’s in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration of the consequences… But the thing is, um, what I’m trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um, in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you, very much. Just as you are.

 Noah: I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who’s ever lived: I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.

These movies are my top five. I own each them of DVD, have lost track of how many times I have watched them, and can quote the majority of each script.  They are amazing! And I will give honorable mentions to movies that I am found of but did not make the top five;  Pretty in Pink,  What Women Want, The Princess Bride, Sweet Home Alabama,  Sleepless in Seattle, Love Actually, and How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days.

Have you these five rom-coms?  Which is your favorite?

    I’ve never seen #4 – Bridget Jones’ Diary? One and 2 are my personal watch on repeat favorites. Who doesn’t love The Notebook? Unfortunately that’s a once a year thing, it leaves me a swollen, tear-streaked mess every time.

    Does Under the Tuscan Sun count as a Rom-Com? I tend to think it is more of a romantic drama…with flair! haha! But it is by far my favorite!

    I’m such a sap when it comes to rom-com movies. These are all great choices! Just reading the quotes gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling, not to mention the hint of a tear in my eye 🙂

    I love Bridget Jones! Totally hate the Notebook though, I think that makes me the most anti-girl ever.

    Loooove Pretty Woman, it’s one of my favorites! How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is one of my favs too that I can watch over and over. I have a plant in our apartment that I call the love fern even though it isn’t actually a fern 🙂

    I love romantic comedies as well, and Never Been Kissed is among my top five too. I think for a very long time I related to Josie. Lame, I know. LOL.

    I can identify all of these, yes, and I haven’t even seen one of them ;). I love romantic comedies! The Holiday is a major favorite for me.

    The Notebook, Sweet home Alabama and Pretty woman are some of my favourites too. And bridget Jones never fails to make me giggle. Nothing beats rom-coms eh?

    I love the Holiday! I need to buy a new copy though because we seemed to have misplaced ours. We always watch it at Christmas because it’s kind of a Christmas movie too.

    The notebook gets me every time. And it’s so funny you said rom-com, because someone said that to me the other day and I was like “huh?”. I felt so out of the loop…and I’m in college, I should know these things! Clearly, I’m not on my A game.

    Have a great day!
