I know I can't be the only one here who's a sucker for a romcom..

Feel free to ...
I can't remember a single romcom I really liked (unless you count Bergman's Smiles of a Summer Night), but on the other hand I have about ten Austen adaptations on dvd.

Do you have to be a complete film buff like your good self to enjoy those movies? I have watched and enjoyed several films from the 60's.. The only thing you have to be to enjoy old movies is open-minded, the style of acting and the dialogue is different to modern cinema. I remember the first old film I...

Lost in Translation is a movie I never thought in a million years I would enjoy but I love it. I also like Broken Flowers, in fact if its a comedy with a love interest starring Bill Murray then I like it.
