Love stories and comedies are for home. I don't do love stories and most comedies are vapid gutterfests. I've got a 72" HiDef home screen with everything but scratch-n-sniff.
I'll wait for Netflix.

I don't do love stories and most comedies are vapid gutterfests.Three romantic comedies worth seeing:
- It Happened One Night — Screwball comedy: invented the genre, directed by Frank Capra, won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress & Best Screenplay. Inspiration for Bugs bunny. Invented the show some leg trope. Caused a crash in sales of t-shirts. My favorite line: "Excuse me lady, but that upon which you sit is mine." The writing alone is worth it.
- Roman Holiday — Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn won Best Actress, Eddie Albert, movie won Best Costume Design and Best Writing. My favorite line: "Did you lose something?"
- Romancing The Stone — Parody of romantic comedies. Tight directing, not a wasted moment. Director Robert Zemeckis has a great acting part as Juan, the drug-runner. My favorite line: "What did you do, wake up this morning and say, 'Today, I'm going to ruin a man's life'? "
