I love romantic comedies. I don't care if you think they're shallow and flippant and only for shallow, flippant women. You're objectively wrong.
In order to convey that love (and disappointment in the fact that they're dying), I started writing an ode (but not really an ode because an ode is a poem and I don't do poetry) to romantic comedies, but I soon realized there was just too much love for one post. Hence, to help countdown things to Christmas (and to stave off the looming depression caused by the garbage fire that is this country right now), I'm doing 25 days of my favorite romcoms (and cramming as many asides as I can into two sentences).
As of now my plan is to watch each movie as I write about it, but I'm still in school for another week and my free time is severely limited, so fresh rewatch and/or getting each post out on time is TBD.
Some ground rules:
1. Recent romcoms only (meaning the last few decades). Movies like Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, and Thoroughly Modern Millie would absolutely be included, but that just complicates things. Maybe I'll do classics later.
2. No period pieces. Pride and Prejudice (the miniseries, naturally) and other period pieces are absolutely romantic comedies, but again, that would just make the list too hard to narrow down.
3. I have to have already seen it. Sure, I've missed out on some classics like There's Something About Mary and What's Up Doc, but I can't very well include them on a list of favorites if I haven't seen them. I'll get to them someday.
That's it! So come back on the 1st for my first installment. Fingers crossed I'll be able to keep up. I've got my list and I really want to watch all of these movies again, so maybe the last week of school will just have to wait.
