Few things are more subjective than movies, but with Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought I’d share some of my favorite romantic comedies. I’ll add more as I think of them, but here’s a start!
… When Harry Met Sally … (1989, Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 91%)
… The Princess Bride (1987, Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 95%) (the book is great, too!)
… Before Sunrise (1995, Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 100%)
… Bull Durham (1988, Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 98%)
… Moonstruck (1987, Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 91%)
… The Wedding Singer (1998, Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 67%) (true it has a relatively low RT rating, but as someone who grew up in the 80s, I can’t help but laugh every time I see it!)
… Groundhog Day (1993, Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 96%) The only reason I didn’t include this in my first posting was because I wanted to do a whole post on it … I love the movie that much!
also, there’s the profoundly romantic Groundhog Day (RT 96%). ah, to have so many tries to “get it right”. then there’s 50 First Dates (RT 44%). you can’t beat the concept of falling in love every day, and it was my first exposure to one of the best music performances ever Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
