A Diet of Romantic Comedies

La mer 3:21 Charles Trenet 100 Classic French Songs Vocal 3/25/2010 9:12 PM

So this is the song sung during the credits of 'French Kiss' with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline--Kevin Kline
is the one singing and he is good.

Went to Value Village (thrift store) a few of weeks ago and picked up all these old romantic comedies that I had somehow missed and my hubby and I have just so enjoyed watching them.   They are all about 15 years old. Ok so there are many with Meg Ryan in them- 4 to be exact.  As long as you don't watch them back to back it is doable.

Here's the list:

  1.  French Kiss - Meg Ryan & Kevin Kline ****
  2.  Kate & Leopold - Meg Ryan & Hugh Jackman *****
  3.  City of Angels- Meg Ryan & Nicoles Cage *****
  4.  While You Were Sleeping- Sandra Bullock & Bill Pullman ****
  5.  Addicted to Love - Meg Ryan & Mathew Broadrick *****
  6.  My Life - Nicole Kidman & Michael Keeton ****
  7.  Sidewalks of New York - too many to mention ****
  8.  The English Patient ******
  9  Hope Floats - Sandra Bullock & Harry Connick Jr ***
10  Cassablanca - yet to watch

Are romantic comedies your thing?  Any to recommend this way?

  1. I've seen all but...Hope Floats and Sidewalks of New York...I loved The English Patient!

    Romantic Comedies are fine, but my favorites are movies like Cold Mountain, A River Runs Through It, La Vie En Rose, The Painted Veil and The English Patient.

  2. Ulp....the only one I can think of is 'Une Longue Dimanche de Fiancailles' whose English title escapes me. I can never remember the movies I've seen - and have been known to rent the same movie twice in a month, unwittingly!

    Like your list and will copy it to my expanding list of 'movie to see' which I always forget to take with me to the video store.

    What happened to Rick Hansen bungee-jumping??

  4. Wanda-I haven't seen: ' The painted Veil' so I'll give it a try. I almost wasn't going to give the list of these movies since it seems too trite to love romantic comedies but me do.

  10. Notting Hill ... Love Actually ... Bridget Jones' Diary ... and if you love romantic comedy with a major hit of sass: Adam's Rib (1941?) --> Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. Those two were dynamite together! :-)
