mrroberts Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 So many to choose from, but if I had to pick one, MY MAN GODFREY. William Powell and Carole Lombard at their best. Link to post Share on other sites
texanna Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 ray and mrroberts, those are GOOD romantic comedies! I like both of them very much Link to post Share on other sites
texanna Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 tht one doesnot ring a bell, but I'll look for it Link to post Share on other sites
bOb39 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Your description reminds me of *Take Letter Darling*. Could that be it? Fred MacMurray and Rosalind Russell from 1942. Link to post Share on other sites
Audreygirl2007 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 My favorite is "Roman Holiday". Actually that's my all-time favorite! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
QuanChi Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 i imdb'd Take Letter Darling and it sounds really similar but its not quite it. i know that Rosalind Russell wasnt the main character. but that year sounds right. i seem to remember it having a fairly long title. but thanks for the input Link to post Share on other sites
Paisley22 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 My favorite romantic comedy is *Love Actually*... I love the parallel story lines of love and relationships... such a great story and laugh! My favorite scene... http://www.hollywood.com/photo/Movie_Stills_Love_Actually_Love_Actually__movie_still_Andrew_Lincoln_in_Love_Actually/1704328/1704316 Message was edited by: Paisley22 Link to post Share on other sites
texanna Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 i think i've seen that, paislye. but i really like the classic ones much better. Link to post Share on other sites
OneSharpDame Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 That sounds like a Barbara Stanwyck movie I saw on TCM and can't remember the name of. It had breakfast in the name. Something like Love Before Breakfast? Link to post Share on other sites
lulu2u Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I can't dicide on just one. So, my favorites are: May Favorite Wife The Awful Truth My Man Godfrey How to Marry a Millionaire The Egg and I (Because it introduces Ma and Pa Kettle) Libeled Lady The Bachelor and the Bobby Socker There are more but I can't think of them right now.

texanna Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 those area ll great comedies, lulu! I especially like 'libeled lady' - the whole cast is so good. Link to post Share on other sites
JoeBond Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I think Roman Holiday or Sabrina should be considered as well as Breakfast With Tiffany's. Link to post Share on other sites
erzbet Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 MY FAVORITE WIFE and THE AWFUL TRUTH..romantic comedies that never age! Link to post Share on other sites

sellyoulloyd Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Another great one is *Holiday* (1938) with Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Lew Ayres, and Edward Everett Horton -- a real gem! Link to post Share on other sites
TheSlumsOfSoftFocus Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'm a sucker for classic romantic comedies. It's so hard to narrow it down.... My Man Godfrey Trouble In Paradise Ninotchka The Lady Eve Unfaithfully Yours The Palm Beach Story Tom, Dick, and Harry Rafter Romance Bachelor Mother Libeled Lady Love on the Run Piccadilly Jim The Mad Miss Manton Link to post Share on other sites
Terrence1 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I loved your list of favorite romantic comedies, especially the two starring the wonderful Barbara Stanwyck. She was so great in comedy. Why didn't they use her more in comedies? She could deliver a line like no one else. Terrence. Link to post Share on other sites
LucyDesiJunieKate Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I think that My Man Godfrey is one of my favorites too! Some other ones are Bringing up Baby, Meet Me in St. Louis, You Can't Run Away from It, and The Fuller Brush Girl! Vintage movies are one of my favorite things in the universe and I hope that people never forget them, lose them, or stop caring! God bless you TCM and thanks for all you do!

Capuchin Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I feel justified in giving a list for the 'best ever' because my analysis depends on my mood -- what puts me on the floor one day might seem a little cornball the next . . . *Bell, Book, and Candle* *The Bride Came C.O.D.* *Cluny Brown* *Christmas in Connecticut* *The Divorce of Lady X* *The Ex-Mrs Bradford* *Father Goose* *How to Murder Your Wife* *I Love You Again* *The Importance of Being Earnest* *Indiscreet* *Julia Misbehaves* *June Bride* *The Lady Eve* *The Last of Mrs. Cheney* *Love Crazy* *The Mad Miss Manton* *The Male Animal* *Midnight* *Mr. and Mrs. Smith* *Ninotchka* *Petticoat Fever* *Roman Holiday* *Sabrina* *Teacher's Pet* *Tovarich* *The Trouble with Harry* *Under the Yum Yum Tree* *Victor/Victoria* As you might guess, I have a lot of different moods . . .

texanna Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 that's a very good list capuchin, i have seen most of them but a few i hadnt even heard about so i'm glad you could offer your recommendation Link to post Share on other sites
4567 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 my man godfrey is quite good. i especially like the scene where william powell pushes carole lombard into the shower! very funny. the whole movie is so neat and original concept. of couse bringing up baby, it happened one night, you can't take it with you(it has romance in it but all the crazy characters at jean arthurs house in that movie might qualify it as just an overrall zany comdy)! i laughed so hard at that one. the shop around the corner because it is so sweet and margaret sullavan and jimmy stewart have terrific chemistry. i also liked them together in i think it was called three comrades. can't remeber if that is the exact title but it also had robert young in it. it was sad but good.

DownGoesFrazier Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I would say "The Awful Truth", or "Lover Come Back". Link to post Share on other sites
