Very highly indeed. It's a classic. Aside from the fact that I adore :love: Grace Kelly :love: you have James Stewart too. Can't go wrong!

James Stewart really made his name with this, apart from It's A Wonderful Life. I love that film. I've been watching a lot of modern films so I think it's high time I check out the oldies! :biggrin:

Wonderful movie.
I like Romcoms, though I have watched that many I think I may have watched them all. I love quirky films too, like (500) Days of Summer, Adventureland and Girl, Interrupted.

Give me as many ideas as you can, please. I'll give you cake if you do.

Along came poly
Shawshank redemption
oh wow, um... hehe - i love the list: romcom, kinda-romcom, - suicide/depression/mental health drama :P

+ um, if you like unusual romantic comedies though, try eternal sunshine of a spotless mind :smile:

:eek: actually its just came to me!

combining your list of romcoms and mental health drama... - try:

'veronika decides to die'

its kinda an emotional romantic film, about 2 people who meet in a mental health hospital and fall in love... - its pretty good (alot lighter then i make it out to be) - and has a great ending :smile:

Womb Raider, Close encounters of the behind, the Rodfather, a tale of two titties and phallus in wonderland are all classics.

But in all seriousness; if you're looking for a romcom then I suggest The Graduate

They sound interesting. Very interesting. Gonna get straight into that. FANX
Go and watch the Shakespeare Retold version of Taming of the Shrew. It's hilarious and somehow adorable as well. I promise it's really funny. It's on youtube. :smile: And not in annoying parts, just the whole film.
Thank you guys

Except for Godfather III which is truly awful and a very bad error. Parts I and II are superb, but III is an afterthought and execrable.

I just watched Nostalgia for the Light. What a breathtakingly beautiful, wonderfully directed and moving film. Highly recommended!

I don't know, it wasn't all THAT bad. Granted not a patch on the first 2, but a nice little epilogue in a way.
That said, if they'd stuck with the original plan and paid Robert Duvall enough money and done the whole Michael Corleone/Tom Hagen war thing they planned, it might have turned out pretty damn good.
