Romantic Comedies Worth Watching? - Blu-ray Forum

Sid · 02-05-2009, 03:55 AM

So my collection severely lacks the above, and some recommendations would be great. The girlfriend would be more than happy to sit down and watch a leisurely romantic comedy instead of the regular action title or slapstick comedy in my movie collection. So far we recently watched Knocked Up for the first time which me both enjoyed.

Ricky Gervaiis' Ghost Town is a really good movie, but it's not your typical romantic comedy

im going w/ that + zack and mari + that dane cook jessica alba movie, all of which I like

and Gday has to be that because everything centers around the girl after the first 30 min's

When The Wedding Singer Blu-ray comes out in April, definitely add it to your collection!

That would be Good Luck Chuck.

Anyways, a few that weren't mentioned that come to mind are:
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Wedding Crashers
Pretty Woman
13 Going on 30

Vicky Cristina Barcellona!

The House Bunny is light-hearted comedy with a very tiny bit of romance... still I think it'd apply.

If you liked Knocked Up, you could probably take a look at the other Apatow features involving romance. The 40 Year Old Virgin and Forgetting Sarah Marshall are both great too.

But yeah, pretty much what everyone else said too, and I'd especially like to point again to The Wedding Singer's April release. Might even be worth checking out Groundhog Day if you've never seen it.

i had a thread like this a while back...

https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...hlight=comdies

some good suggestions there..

there's nothing like a good romantic comedy.. i wish Just Like Heaven with Reese Witherspoon would come out on blu-ray.. also Love Actually... i think its slated for a frence release soon, so hopefully its not far off.

Music and Lyrics is really funny especially if you happen to have experienced 1980s pop music culture as a teenager!

I don´t know if Stranger than fiction is a romantic comedy (but there is romance and comedy in it), but I liked it very much

as well as the already mentioned Groundhog day and Pretty Woman

roscoeren · 02-05-2009, 08:06 AM

Music and Lyrics,
Sirendipity,
Love Actually,
The Notebook,
......

RiseDarthVader · 02-05-2009, 08:29 AM

Marley & Me

silversnake · 02-05-2009, 08:50 AM

run fatboy run... really funny and enjoyable movie. Simon pegg is awesome. The movie is predictable and doesn't do anything new but it is done very well, very simple with lots of good humor.

goodluckchuck · 02-05-2009, 11:38 AM

Good luck chuck is funny! but romantic, romantic comedies like Meg Ryan's and Jennifer Lopez's.. still waiting their releases!

Question: Romantic Comedies Worth Watching?

Answer: None what so ever!

Blu_Ray_UK2007 · 02-05-2009, 12:03 PM

Not many are worth watching.. but it has to be done for the lady.

2 I've found to be OK and even slightly funny are

The Break-Up & The Wedding Singer

Not sure if you guys have got them on Blu yet.

MillerTimeNCSU · 02-05-2009, 12:38 PM

What Happens in Vegas was good...and I hate Cameron Diaz generally.

arrow61095 · 02-05-2009, 01:04 PM

There aren't many, but it has to be done for the wife.
The Wedding Singer wasn't too bad.

There are however some Excellent comedies with romantic sub-plots that while not officially "Romantic Comedies" -you may be able to convice your wife: Old School, Office Space, and Dodgeball.
