These Mashed Potatoes Are So Creamy

Sarah and I have been watching a plethora of romantic comedies lately. Everything from "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" and "Can't Buy Me Love" to "A Walk To Remember " (which, in truth, really isn't a romantic comedy, but oh well) and "While You Were Sleeping".

We have officially run out of movies to watch and have no idea what to watch next (hence the 10 episodes of Gilmore Girls).

As I was slowly waking up this morning I thought, "maybe the wonderful online community that I have been so blithely ignoring could help me out."

Please, please, please (even though I've been a terrible online friend lately) tell me what you're ultimate favorite romantic comedies are. Hopefully there will be enough different ones to keep Sarah and I going to a couple of months.

I see Kate beat me to it. My favorite is Return to Me. Makes me cry and laugh. Where the Heart Is is also great!

I could come up with way more than this, but I'm trying not to repeat and not thinking too hard :)


My Best Friend’s Wedding
Groundhog Day
An Ideal Husband (how could you not love the dialogue?)
The Importance of Being Earnest
Sweet Home Alabama (cute cute boys ☺)
Music and Lyrics (it is pg-13, but I don’t remember the reason…nice to revisit the 80’s feel)
Down with love (tribute to Rock Hudson Doris Day—fun)
Benny and Joon
Practical Magic—love their hair and the sisterly bond
That Touch of Mink

There are three rated R ones that I think are totally worth it if you can find edited versions
When Harry Met Sally
Love Actually
The Red Violin (hauntingly beautiful)
