Oh man, Say Anything is my favorite movie ever! Despite the fact that it came out the year I was born, the first time I saw it I fell madly in love with Lloyd Dobbler. John Cusack is an awesome actor. Love it!

Shallow Hal was on while I was reading this and I can’t help but like it. Its romantic without being boring and hits a real nerve with me about how much crap people get for not looking practically good. If your happy with them, they make you laugh, you can’t make it through the day without them then WHO THE FUCK CARES what they look like!

Outside Providence for the win. Actually had a beer with the Farrelly brothers and for some reason, I only spoke of that film to them. They seemed annoyed by it.

Not a single mention of Groundhog Day? Preposterous.

Don’t know if this qualifies as “romantic,” but I always thought ‘Outside Providence’ was an awesome date movie.

@Nuala : holy cow, forgot that one, excellent choice. “I brought you flours…” I too will stop speaking to myself, though I am not certain that I will comply.

also without a doubt Stranger made the best use of the having Ferrell singing and transitioning into the original artist. Also introducing a new generation to a one of the few truly great love songs.

Great list! I feel exactly the same way about you as romantic comedies and most of the ones you mentioned, such as Eternal Sunshine and Scott Pilgrim, are my exceptions also. Personally, I also liked Stranger Than Fiction.

“Blind Date” with Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger.

1. The James Brown Car Alarm.
2. Phil Hartman kills it in every scene he’s in.
3. Mr. Feeny as the ex-boyfriend’s father, who absolutely hates his son. He also has his butler kill the dog when it won’t stop barking.
4. The ex-boyfriend is sociaopathically hilarious.

High Fidelity is one of my favorite movies period. It also sticks pretty close to the story of the book (if that’s the kind of thing that matters to you). It’s definitely one of those movies that I think most will appreciate more after they’ve been through a bad break up or two.

Love Actually was probably the first romantic comedy I truly enjoyed. It’s a shame it inspired those crapfests named after holidays.

One more recent one that I’d put on my list is Crazy, Stupid Love. The ending is kind of Hollywood stereotype, but I love the way the story develops and all of the actors/actresses play so well off each other.

I’ve got Safety Not Guaranteed sitting on my TV stand right now. The positive reviews are convincing me to watch it sooner rather than later.

Zack and Miri make a porno was surprisingly good, I watched it with my mum so i was expecting an hour and a half of super awkwardness but i laughed through it.
