Ode to the "Rom-Com"

I find it appropriate to write a blog solely devoted to the fabulous world of romantic-comedies... or girly movies. May I share my favourites? I'll start with some classics...

8) Sleepless in Seattle - wow. They don't even SEE each other the entire movie and your heart is just pulled RIGHT in! Major props to the ever-lovable Tom Hanks.



7) When Harry Met Sally - Once again, thanks Meg Ryan. How cute is this? Friends finally figuring out that they are meant for one another. Dang.

MORE RECENTLY...

6) America's Sweethearts - LOVE John Cusack. Seriously. I love him. haha. This movie is just... funny, wonderful, once again with the "finally figuring it out!" Great timing julia roberts!





5) Notting Hill - who HASN'T dreamt of meeting a major movie star and falling madly in love? It's always a shame when your hollywood lifestyle pulls you apart - but there's nothing quite like the moment when Julia is asked how long she'll be in England and she says... "indefinitely".



4) The Wedding Planner - "you saved... my shoe". Hell ya, he did! Matthew McCounaghey, thank you for showing me the importance of only eating brown M&M's... LOVE it!





3) How to Lose a Guy in 10 Day - how hilarious is this? "Princess Sophia"... "Benny boo boo boo!" Kate Hudson is so fabulous in this... and SO gorgeous! Jealous. Once again, the rom com king, Matthew McConaughey - let's get a round of applause...





2) Never Been Kissed - Drew Barrymore. QUEEN OF THE ROM-COM... I don't think I've disliked a single movie she's been in. Never been kissed is just... wonderful. I love that she can be an idiot, look unattractive and still be awesome. How brilliantly endearing... the baseball field scene at the end just SLAYS me everytime.






AND THE NUMBER ONE, MOST FAVOURITEST GIRLY MOVIE OF ALLLLL TIME?!






1) Ever After - Might not even count as a Romantic Comedy, but I don't care. The perfect Cinderella story... and I could almost quote the whole thing. "I will not yield!" "then you don't deserve her". I want to BE Danielle duBarberaque (or shall we say Nicole duLancre?)

So there you have it... I would watch them all RIGHT now if I had the chance!
