Nothing. He just informed us he was stepping away in the NBA Forum. He lost his job last month. I was worried, but he told BEN to tell me to gfm. So, he must be doing somewhat ok.

Oh man, hate to hear about his job.

No problems from me with Working girl and Don Jon ( that the one with Scarjo?) The others I've not seen.

Processing Behr's add/drop suggestions. Who gets dropped for Superbad, Working Girl, Don Jon?

Lulz, I didn't know Super bad was a RomCom. Don Jon was terrible except for ScarJo. I'd rather see American President than that.
Don't know what Amelie, Enough said or Juno are and Jerry talked me into 500 days of summer and I hated it.

There are my thoughts.

Superbad is totally a RomCom. It's about two guys that will do anything to be with their crushes and get laid before they go off to college. Just having a character get a fake ID with the name Mclovin makes it an instant RomCom classic!

As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson was good. Could Elf be considered a romantic comedy? He ends up with Zooey D.

Agree with Behr on Definitely, Maybe.

Should go back a few more years for some more John Hughes movies. Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles...

For some reason I view high school movies as something entirely different than Rom Com, but I may be alone in that.

Movie had to appear on at least 3 independent RomCom rankings that I found to make the analysis. Then they had to make the top 32 to be in.

Saw that movie on 1 list only. Those found on at least 2 lists:

Bull Durham
Love, Simon
Shakespeare in Love
Waitress
The American President
Reality Bites
As Good As It Gets

Therein lies the issue, no consensus on what is a RomCom. So, you can build any list of entries you want and let them fight it out.

Yeah, Bull Durham ought to be in there.

We’re making our own rankings, dammit!
