Any1 recommend some good Rom Coms for my GFs Crimbo?

Parkdude · 25-11-08, 07:54 AM

Hi all,

Looking for a couple of stocking fillers for my GF and thought how she loves her Romantic Comedies so much, (50 First Dates, Along Came Polly, Wedding Planner, My Best Friend's Girl etc...) I could get her a couple of Rom Com dvds.

Now I'm pretty sure she has seen every one every made, but wondered if anyone could recommend maybe some lesser known ones that she's maybe not seen, or even just your favourites to give me an idea of what to get?

Any help greatly appreciated

more recently, "the women" or "sex and the city" - go on imdb and check out hugh grants films, they are basically all rom coms

here's the link: Hugh Grant (I)

there's loads on that list

Thanks dude.

Amazon is recommending "Must love dogs" and "Definitely Maybe"?

Definitely, Maybe (2008)

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

The Accidental Husband (2008)

27 Dresses (2008)

My Girlfriend enjoyed all of these, hell even I liked some of them

Praj07 · 25-11-08, 12:38 PM

yeh she'll love 27 dresses, baby mama and maid of honour too.

Naomi101 · 25-11-08, 01:04 PM

Catch and Release!! It's not your usual rom com but I loved it

it's funny but not in your usual manner. got the guy from Clerks in it, forget his name

forgetting sarah marshall = kristen bell ....mmmmmmmmm

kevan321 · 25-11-08, 04:28 PM

Not really a romcom, but my girlfriend, along with most girls, seem to love P.S. I love you.

Sephora · 25-11-08, 04:32 PM

I agree PS I love you - it's great!!

robbo90 · 25-11-08, 05:22 PM

my girlfriend loves "the holiday" and it has abit of a christmasy theme to it.

Monkeyegg · 25-11-08, 05:25 PM

I don't really do 'rom coms' (had never even heard the phrase until you just used it) but it reminded me how much I enjoyed Splash! when I watched it. It's a pretty old film now, got Daryl Hannah and Tom Hanks in it, but I thought it was really good. I think it would class as a Rom Com??

Emma · 25-11-08, 06:05 PM

would agree with The Holiday, PS I love you, Definitely Maybe, also music and lyrics is a good one but generally as praj said all Hugh Grant ones are funny and generally really good

Parkdude · 26-11-08, 10:17 AM

Thanks for all suggestions everyone

Gonna order a few of them for her stocking

rich107107 · 26-11-08, 10:21 AM

i have no idea how many times i have had to watch love actuly my gf loves it lol good luck on your quest to find some mate i wish i could start shopping this soon

messyhead · 26-11-08, 11:22 AM

"rom-com" and "good" are two words I never thought I'd see in the same sentence, unless "good" came after "isn't".

In saying that, P.S I love You is a good watch.
