I really enjoyed Love Actually as well. Here are a few more of my favorites:

Bridget Jone's Diary

Notting Hill (except for Julia Roberts....can't stand her)

Saving Grace - Excellent!

There's Something About Mary

Keeping the Faith

Meet the Parents

LOL Me too.

My husband watches all these movies and I just escape into the other room to listen to music.
I much prefer a good psychological thriller, off-beat comedy or action movies, as long as the plot makes sense.
I've watched all those movies mentioned but I slept through most of them.

I'm not pink.

Meet the Parents?

I always considered that a horror flick...

 

[redshifter]

i don't feel guilty about these:

the philadelphia story
bringing up baby
adam's rib
down with love
there's something about mary
tango and cash
shakespeare in love

Blast From the Past - Good
10 Things I Hate About You - Excellent, good soundtrack too
Down To You - Bad
A Guy Thing - Never seen it
Serendipity - Good
Kate & Leopold - Never seen it (a few mention here, is it that good?)
Ever After (I guess it fits here) - looks so bad
Two Weeks Notice - it's ok
The Wedding Planner - OK
Maid in Manhattan - hate J-Lo
Bridget Jones Diary - Average, book is better
Cutting Edge - Never seen it
Say Anything - It's above average, his best film is still Almost Famous

And mine

Amelie - This film boarderline on Perfection
Bring it On - love to love Kristen Dunst and Elisa Dusku !
Coyote Ugly - I know its crap but the barmaids are pretty
Keeping the Faith - It's good, but could been a lot better
Notting Hill - I just love this movie
Serendipity - Above average, Kate Beckingsale does it for me
You've got Mail - Not as good as WHMS but still pretty decent with sharp dialogue
When Harry Met Sally - I like it so much i went to see the Play at a Theatre in London at $80 a ticket, and with Alysson Hannigan starred in it too.

add to that list

Not really a typical romantic comedy but Shakespeare in Love truly is great

 

[Ebonyks]

Another great romantic comedy that no one reccomended was monsoon wedding. It's a simple and sweet movie about a wedding taking place in india, highly reccomended

 

[SunByrne]

Uhh, no, it's actually not my guilty pleasure. I will admit that I sit through one of these every once in a while with my wife, and sometimes I actually don't hate them, but a pleasure they are, in general, not. And some of the movies mentioned here, wow, even the trailers cause me physical revulsion (Maid in Manhattan is a good example). But I guess I can publicly admit to not hating When Harry Met Sally, While You Were Sleeping and Pretty Woman.

Oh, and Bring It On (which I'm not sure I'd put in this genre) because it involves Kirsten Dunst in skimpy clothes. (And yes, with Spider-Man on power rotation on HBO, I will turn it on just to see if I can catch the rain scene. And if you don't know which scene that is, never mind.)

I so agree. This film is pure brilliance.

For those guys who think RC's are for the birds, well folks, if you want to keep the ladies happy, you have to fall into place sooner or later. Frankly, the casual RC permits audio spending...so I'm in. That does not mean I have to like them however...though there are a few that do well enough. The above is excellent of course. The only two others that I enjoy (not just tolerate) are Love Actually and Notting Hill. I despise Julia Roberts, but Hugh Grant and Rhys Ivans in particular made the movie worth while.

The Tom Hanks and Sharon Stone ones are the best.

LOL good scene...

Okay, some others that I like... I have to admit, I'm a big sucker for this genre of movies so it doesn't take much for me to enjoy it.

Get Over It (It has Kirsten Dunst in it... what can I say...)
Pretty Woman
Clueless (Alicia is just so freakin adorable!)
Boys and Girls
Chasing Liberty (OMG Mandy is so HOT!)
The Family Man
Nine Months
The Bachelor (Over all rather dumb, but amuzing and it had a couple good lines)
Sweet Home Alabama
She's All That
Summer Catch
What Women Want
Cruel Intentions (not really a comedy though)
How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days (Wow, Kate Hudson is really cute)
While You Were Sleeping
Breakfast At Tiffany's
As Good As It Gets


And yes, Ever After was really good. I think I've seen it at least 10 times.

I agree a lot of the side junk in Down To You was very dumb but the romance between Al and Imogen made up for it IMO.

A Guy Thing was very funny and I have a soft spot for Julia Stiles movies...

Kate & Leopold was very good I really enjoyed it

I agree with you for the most part about J Lo but I enjoy her in movies.

Cutting Edge was really good, check it out.

While You Were Sleeping - Sandra Bullock made this movie for me
Breakfast At Tiffany's - not seen it

As Good As It Gets - good, but not really a typical romantic comedy

Here is some more

The Prince and me - Julia Stiles, it's average
