Hi Folks,

Anyone have a list of recommended titles?

Cheers,
Mick

My gf loves Enchanted.

micks_address · 01-19-2009, 08:27 AM

Well we have

Enchanted
Dirty Dancing
50 First Dates
Hitch
Jerry Maguire
Dirty Dancing

Have the holiday on Dvd/Fools Gold, 27 Dresses, Made of Honor and dont reckon any of them are worth upgrading to the blu-ray version...

The only films I own that I would all "Romantic Comedies" that are not yet on blu-ray are:

Splash

Oh! Heavenly Dog

QuasidodoJr · 01-19-2009, 08:43 AM

Pick up Ghost Town. It's a great movie to watch with a date/spouse.

Blu-News · 01-19-2009, 03:34 PM

The Notebook is a must own romantic film. All the suggestions are great except for Catch And Release in my opinion.

P@t_Mtl · 01-19-2009, 03:52 PM

Pretty Woman is coming soon I think

goodluckchuck · 01-19-2009, 04:35 PM

Ghost is on blu ray... with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze..
it's sort of romantic.. I wish the Meg Ryan movies would be out in blu ray: Sleepless in Seattle, You've got mail, City of Angels, French Kiss etc

Lsalas76 · 01-19-2009, 04:50 PM

These may not be comedies but may be "romantic"

The Lake House
Click
PS I Love You
Sleeping Beauty
Mamma Mia

steve_dave · 01-19-2009, 05:05 PM

13 Going on 30
Last Holiday
27 Dresses
Made of Honor
Coyote Ugly
Jane Austin Book Club
No Reservations
Shall We Dance?
Stranger Than Fiction
Maid in Manhattan
Knocked Up
Can't Hardly Wait
Failure to Launch
Fool's Gold
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Music and Lyrics - GET THIS FOR HUGH GRANT'S PERFECT TAKE ON '80S LOVE POP!
What Happens in Vegas

I also highly recommend P.S. I Love You. A very wonderful romantic comedy that nearly made me cry.

Oh, and lest we forget The Princess Bride is coming soon.

reallyagi · 01-19-2009, 05:10 PM

I agree. I also wish they would bring back My Best Friend's Wedding, which was cancelled last fall.

Full Metal Jacket... A love story between a Man, his Rifle, and his Gun.

SirSomerville · 02-03-2009, 07:45 PM

I'm hoping 'Definitely, Maybe' hits Blu Ray sometime

I really enjoyed it, maybe it was because of Isla Fisher.

goodluckchuck · 02-03-2009, 07:49 PM

I liked Definetely, Maybe also, but I wouldnt purchase it. Still, I know it would look wonderful on blu.
