What can I say? I’m a sucker for romances. Yeah, I’ll admit it - I enjoy a nice romantic comedy, even if I used to be a closet romantic. In the past I would have rather hang by my thumbs and let vultures feed off me than admit that I really wanted to watch that new romantic comedy that just hit the big screens. Rather than suggest to watch a romantic comedy when friends would ask what movie to watch, I would rent the video or buy the VCD/DVD to watch the movie in secret.
So when did I finally come out into the open and actually admit to myself that I’m a bigger sucker for this stuff than I would normally have admitted? When I caught myself wearing a silly grin at the end of watching “27 Dresses“.
Although the title didn’t really inspire me, I was keen to watch it because it starred Katherine Heigl, the gorgeous blond from Grey’s Anatomy - yeah, I watch that one, too, so shoot me. James Marsden (Cyclops from “The X-Men”) seems to be doing a lot of these romantic flicks of late as he was in “Enchanted” (yep, I watched that one, too, so I guess it pretty much confirms my status of “hopeless romantic”, no?). Needless to say, I enjoyed the movie so thoroughly that I watched it twice and have filed away the DVD as something to watch again in future!
Good grief, I think I shall go hide myself in the closet. Strangely, being branded as a sci-fi geek was never quite as embarassing as this.
Here are a few other favourites on my list of romantic comedies and chick flicks that I highly recommend and wouldn’t mind watching again:
- While You Were Sleeping (an oldie but a goodie)
- Star Dust
- Music and Lyrics
- Kate and Leopold
- Just Like Heaven
