I do rather like Hugh Grant's film work. Please don't judge me. I assume most of his movies would be called rom-coms.

dan... if u think i would judge you for hugh??? think again. i cant think of a movie he's been in thats not a rom com??

Hey, Flannery and all. I rewatched Love Actually over the holidays. Enjoyed it way back when. Thought it was wretched this time.

Recent? I saw that one decades ago.
  8:15pm
v-dawg:

Martina Gedeck, Sergio Castelitto; Sandra Nettelbeck
I donot know if it was marketed as a romantic-comedy in Germany. Romance was key part of promotion of the film even though it was secondary element to the plot.
  8:15pm

Withnail and I. Rom-com? Let’s say yes. The best.

hummmm is The Lobster a rom com? 🦞

That is greatly stretching the concept of a rom-com.

They should have you do the soundtrack for this movie, at least!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:50pm
flannery:

the actual 90s move is to have like a ten piece band cover this song with crazy horn solo
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:50pm
flannery:

the 90s equivalent of "slowed down pop hit for spooky ambiance" was "revved up golden oldies for romantic bombast"
