I'm addicted to Romantic Comedies.

I've watched about 12 in the past 2 weeks alone, most sucked apart from '500 Days of Summer' which was really sweet. I watch them because I like movies with happy endings.

How do I stop watching Rom Coms?

It's not as easy as just stopping, I think this is a real problem that needs curing.

Any advice?

Watch Roman Holiday; that is if you haven't already seen it.

Whatever amuses you. I've never understood why humans look down upon others for being entertained by certain material. In our race we respect, better said UNDERSTAND individuality. It is a non issue amognst us really but I find it amusing how humans are do dramatic about little things.

I don't watch anything pre-1990, Pretty Woman is the oldest i've watched.

No, of course I do, I meant I don't watch pre-1990 romantic comedies.

The problem with the endings to a lot of Rom Coms is that I want to know what happens after! do they stay together? do they get married? do they have children? are the children ugly?

These are important questions!

Oh, good. I don't watch many rom coms to be honest, Roman Holiday is one of the few that I like. 500 days of Summer is really good too.

There is no hope for you. The only honorable thing to do is commit seppuku

Yeah

[spoiler] I actually thought that film was going to have a sad ending, but then he met Autumn at a job interview, I thought that was a nice touch [/spoiler]

Does Crocodile Dundee count?  Watch that!

wow, this is so sad

 watching same story repeated over and over with different actors, you need real help

My brothers girlfriends dad was part of the lighting crew for that film funnily enough.

Because there was no hope of him getting Summer as she was married, he was in love with her.

I love rom coms.

I think my favorite is "So I Married an Axe Murderer".  

SLIM JIM 5,000 IU. STAT! Kidding. 500 Days of Summer is a good movie. [QUOTE="HyperWarlock"]

Because there was no hope of him getting Summer as she was married, he was in love with her.

That sort of sounds like the theme of this movie with Topher Grace and Dennis Quaid called IN Good Company

It was mediocre, ok at times, but he basically finds out that his life was all wrong, falls in love with a girl he can't have, realizes it a bit too late, reassembles his life, and moves on to something better.  Definitely a feel good movie in more ways than one.

That sounds similar but 500 days of summer isn't really a feel-good, I felt worse coming out than going in.

Watch Blue Valentine.

*points and laughs*

na but seriously

[QUOTE="mrbojangles25"]

[QUOTE="bjvill"] [spoiler] The point is that he heals up, finds himself (going on to a career of doing what he really enjoys), and moves on with his life, girl or no girl, to better things with possibilities wide open. I watched that movie in the biggest slump of my divorce when I was still pining for someone who had upgraded while I was still around. I found it therapeutic. [/spoiler] HyperWarlock

you need to watch it again then

I have a friend (male) and he absolutely adores them. I keep making fun of him whenever he mentions his love for those movies. :P

Whatever floats your boat.  No one else should mind because you're not hurting anyone.  Have you watched "Love Actually"?

I can watch some of them, but most of them are complete dreck and I just can't tolerate them. Even the ones I watch are usually more about other plot elements or situations than the romantic aspects.

Whatever lights up your gray matter I suppose.

Watch Blue Valentine.

Niff_T

Not really a comedy.

Avoid the ones with Kate Hudson. She can't act to save her life, plus just about all her movies are terrible.

I actually liked that one.

I think so.  It's has funny moments, sad moments, a bit of nudity even.

Maybe. It was a bit sappy at times and stretched credibility quite a bit, but I found it pretty funny. It's a bit of an ensemble film and doesn't really just cover one relationship -- it covers several practically unrelated ones in small segmented doses. I particularly liked Bill Nighy's character. There were a few love scenes were rather overtly sexual, so if that sort of thing bothers you, there it is (I doubt it does, but I figured I'd mention it anyway). Still, those scenes were more comical than sexy, and frankly the scenario that spawned them really couldn't have been done any other way.

Any romantic comedy with John Cusack is a must see.xdude85

One that I really love from the 80s is "The Sure Thing". I'd also mention "Pretty in Pink", but that one isn't really a comedy.

Just watched the Proposal with Sandra Bullock, Ryan Renolds. It was pretty good actually, it's about a horrible boss who makes her employee marry her so she can stay in the country. Sandra Bullock being the boss.

And yes I have seen Love Actually, it was one of the better ones.
