Its sad that people pay to watch this drivel in hopes of "feeling" something. My feet hitting the pavement is all the reminder I need........

I like them if they are actually good. I have nothing against the genre itself. My girlfriend is the same way. She's Te dominant. Comedies and romantic comedies are often cheap and predictable, so most of them suck ass.

I'm down with good comedy......the hardest genre to produce. Seeing Mcconaughey on a beach and a random coconut falls on his head just doesnt register. An anvil...well, thats another story. Woody Allen had his "RC" moments...but there was an undertow of discourse.

I have a guilty pleasure for teen-romantic dramas. So long as they're well acted.

Romantic comedies.... If you don't like Ernst Lubitsch, there's something wrong with you. Same goes for Groundhog Day, A Matter of Life and Death, It Happened One Night etc. Good ones are out there, you just need to filter out the crap.

Even a half decent one is better than 97% of action movies, in my opinion.

The Shop Around the Corner (1940)
Heaven Can Wait (1943)
Groundhog Day (1993)
It Happened One Night (1934)
A Matter of Life and Death (1946)

I usually enjoy British ones. Hollywood ones, eh, not so much.

honestly most genres have potential. most movies these days really are either the 100th incarnation of the type of movie and so have worn somewhat thin for the older among us or they are just plain poorly/sloppliy made.

having said that, i have enjoyed the occasional romantic comedy or two.

If there's more comedy than romance, and it's not so bad acted... In fact, it's like any other genre.
I have to say that I enjoyed very much Bridget Jones and Love Actually.
