ok ok it's a llama. Not a ginormous hairy snail. I've been watching too many movies.

"Ate here last night on a rather spur-of-the-moment date with my girlfriend so we didn't have reservations. It was a warm-ish night and we got seated immediately on the side patio under some heat…"

people who freak out are probably those who have not spent the time to understand how they can customize their views with filters and lists. realtime FTW!

Great romantic comedy movies: 1. Princess Bride. 2. Serendipity 3. L.A. Story. 4. Forgetting Sarah Marshall. What's your #5?
AJ Kohn, mjc, Adam Zaloudek and 9 other people liked this
My Sassy Girl.
- imabonehead
When Harry Met Sally...
- Ryan Garns
Chasing Amy, and High Fidelity
- Piaw Na
Before Sunset is #1, and I'd swap Stardust for Princess Bride (I think Yvaine is a better character than Buttercup), drop Serendipity... never saw LA Story or Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Would add Truly, Madly, Deeply. And Cousins even though Ted Danson's only serviceable in the male role, cause Isabella Rossellini was perfect in it. OK, that's 4; I'll throw in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to round it out.
- Andrew C
Tie: Armageddon and Pearl Harbor
- Ken Sheppardson
I always kind of liked Notting Hill
- MG Siegler
Love Actually, hands down
- Jacob Mullins
Barfly?
- Thomas Hawk
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is Hi-Larious!!! I love that movie!
- Niall Connellan
MG Siegler, I like Notting Hill too, but considered objectively, the Julia Roberts character is _horrible_!
- Andrew C
Don't forget Leaving Las Vegas.
- Ken Sheppardson
Repo Man?
- Thomas Hawk
Also the English Patient
- Ken Sheppardson
White Men Can't Jump?
- Internet's Tad
I think this is what they call "thread trashing"
- Ken Sheppardson
The Philadelphia Story, and it would rank much higher on this list.
- cecily
Blue Velvet?
- Thomas Hawk
No order: Never Been Kissed...oh wait, I don't really watch romantic comedies. This is going to be hard...10 Things I Hate About You. Does Love & Basketball count? Fine, The Princess Bride. Run Fat Boy Run and yes, I chuckled a bit at Hitch.
- Anika
I'm not sure i agree with 1-4
-
is it weird most of the commenters on this thread are male? just an observation. carry on.
- Maya Baratz
Duh. The 40 Year Old Virgin. Oh and Mr. Wrong. I LOVE that movie. And The Wedding Singer.
- Anika
No, Maya, no, not weird at all. ;-)
- Jacob Mullins
No Country for Old Men?
- Thomas Hawk
chris: true, but still... jacob: i would have guessed your favorite would have cats in it. or at least be a musical. :p
- Maya Baratz
Maya: So what if I sing showtunes while shopping for flasher jackets, that doesn't mean anything!
- Jacob Mullins
Maya, it is weird that so many men aren't doing it right. Looking at you, Thomas Hawk. ;) Anika, good one on The Wedding Singer. Totally forgot that one. When Harry Met Sally and Love Actually are pretty high up there too.
- Matt Cutts
oops. ;)
- Thomas Hawk
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
If Alien is a romantic comedy then so is Fight Club and Danny the Dog.
- Jimminy
I think people are only reading romantic movies. The English Patient was so NOT a comedy. LOL Actually, I can't say that, I turned off the movie 20 min. in, maybe it got funny later.
- Anika
Oh, romcoms, not romantic movies in general? Pretty Woman.
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
fyi, so hard for me to pick a romantic comedy. they usually consist of at least 20% crap/filler scenes. And there's no 80/20 rule here. Chris W.: Eternal Sunshine is as much a romantic comedy as Valkyrie.
- Maya Baratz
Braveheart
- ronin
Maya: I'm NOT Chris White.
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
It's obvious that there's some variation here when it comes to sense of humor. Some folks seem to have completely missed the point of some of our suggestions.
- Ken Sheppardson
If Princess Bride is in the list, then clearly we're not just talking about formulaic romcoms to begin with. Princess Bride was no funnier than most of my list...
- Andrew C
50 First Dates and Juno are the only two I actually own that fit into the romcom genre
- Jimminy
+1 for Juno. and Rush Hour 2
- Maya Baratz
10 Things I Hate About You (don't judge me)
- Kevin Fox
Army of Darkness?
- Jauder Ho
10 Things I Hate About You, 50 First Dates, and While You Were Sleeping for me. There are probably more
- Joe Pierce
50 First Dates and When Harry Met Sally have to be on the list. :)
- Don MacAskill
I don't get the fascination with 50 First Dates. That movie creeped me out big time.
- Anika
Notting Hill
- Sampad Swain
Anika: I can see 50 First Dates being a little creepy, especially with 10 Second Tom. A few more favorites are A Knight's Tale and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
- Jimminy
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is a big guilty pleasure of mine (well most of these movies are)
- Joe Pierce
not sure on order, but Princess Bride definitely; +1 to Andrew C's addition of Stardust just because Neil Gaiman is freaking amazing; Sliding Doors as the movie you've most likely never heard of that you should watch in the category; Desk Set for a classic; and The American President.
- Chris Abbey
Secretary, Bridget Jones, Chasing Amy, Pride & Prejudice & While You Were Sleeping.
- Alix Whitmire
Oh yeah, A Knight's Tale for sure.
- Anika
I'll add to Cecily's classics... Breakfast at Tiffany's (sic), Roman Holiday, The Shop Around the Corner, It Happened One Night, Sabrina.
- LogEx
There's Something About Mary.
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Annie Hall
- Tödd Nëmët
Def Never Been Kissed. Great that you included LA Story - I love that movie :)
- adf
Does "Tommy Boy" count?
- Jeff Eddings
No particular order, Notting Hill, Love Actually, Best Man, When Harry Met Sally, 40 Year Old Virgin
- Bryan R. Adams
I definitely would have added "You've Got Mail"
- Damond Nollan
I'd say Princess Bride, Harold & Maude, LA Story, Annie Hall, and The American President. Kevin, don't be embarrassed about 10 Things... it's Taming of the Shrew, right?
- Keith Pelczarski
What the hell can Vista be doing that takes it 5-7 minutes to shut down. Insanity. I have nothing running and shutdown takes forever

- Jacob Mullins
I have a copy I got at Web 2.0 Expo, may try installing it, but need to do a FULL backup & may also buy a new HD & figure out how to clone my existing one before I do the upgrade...this is my primary production machine, a bit worried about using a beta that would eventually timeout

A private note to PR people - http://scobleizer.com/2009...

"Josh Dilworth and Adam Singer are two of the best PR people who get blogging. When I get an e-mail from Josh, there’s a very good chance I’ll cover that company, because he knows what I care about. And he answers e-mail past midnight, which shows he is as nuts as the rest of us. Stage Two Consulting (Jeremy Toeman)’s clients aren’t always the ones I am interested in either, but they always are careful… “Louis, I know you don’t usually cover… but…”, etc. so they have my respect. PR in today’s world is hard because many still don’t get new media. They aren’t participating, or if they are, it’s tentative. The few that get it right are memorable."
- Louis Gray
Louis -- thanks for the kind words. I'll repost here what we just spoke about on e-mail -- and I'd love others' thoughts too. Besides the obvious laziness and lack of proper socialization, hehe – lemme know what you think of this thesis: the problem is that the people best suited for PR (and marketing generally) do not typically self-select for PR (and marketing generally). Heck, look...
more...
- Josh Dilworth
Louis, couldn't agree more, Josh Dilworth is one of the most upstanding, mutually beneficial, and honestly nice people I have met in the industry. Josh, keep doing what you're doing!!
- Jacob Mullins
Louis, i love your examples, becasue a good pitch is a good pitch in any medium-- targeted, and respectful of the reporter/writer/editor. Scoble's response is interesting not because wo now know how he likes to be pitched (he's had his cell # online for yers, as he mentions), but that not all media are Scoble. email pitches work for some people, phone for others, etc etc. It's our job (I'm in PR) to approiach people the way they prefer. Yes, that's a lot of work- too bad for us.
- Doug Haslam
from twhirl
Joshua is one of the best too. Thanks!
- Robert Scoble
Appreciate the kind words Louis. To be honest, most web-based PR I do doesn't involve "pitching". Instead of pursuing bloggers, I try to do things they like enough to write about naturally. Things like this: http://www.slideshare.net/AdamSin... - but when I do pitch people, I try to *only* send things which are ultra-relevant.

No need to feel sorry for them. Those guys make way more money then they are worth and this is career natural selection.
