What's your favourite Meg Ryan romantic comedy?

Seeing as Sleeping in Seattle is on the tube tonight, which I will be watching, I thought I'd pose the question.

Fair enough to have a completely off-topic post, but this one is simply BAD TASTE!!!!

Cheers,
Jason.

Can't go past Sleepless in Seattle (I think poor old Walter was the character most likely to be an amateur astronomer)...

My favourite was I.Q. (1994). The highlight was Walter Matthau's role as Albert Einstein!

Regards, Rob

My favourite is definitely 'When Harry Met Sally'. It's a rom/com that even men can enjoy. The Tom Hanks ones are certainly 'chick flicks'.

You left out the one with Nicholas Cage as an Angel and her the Doctor (the poor hollywood remake of Wings of Desire).

PS

I used to say the best Kevin Costner film was The Big Chill - can you spot him, he's the corpse! He was so new then his names never made the credits even. Actually half his movies are fine and half are dogs.

After seeing her performance on Parkinson, I prefer anything that doesn't have her in it.

"French Kiss" since Kline is quite good in it.

It doesn't need the "After seeing her performance on Parkinson". The rest says it all.

Now it you were to have her doing Jane Austen (SWMBO's favourites) I think it might be time to slit my wrists.

It's definitely a chick thing. Most of 'em still think they're going to get romance in this life. Watching movies like this is their way of keeping the dream alive. (poor deluded things)
