So, you're wife has a thing for Depp? Does she want to know his tips for eye makeup?

I like the one where the chick hates the one guy for most of the movie but then they fall in love at the end.

I also like the one where they are rivals in sport x but they fall in love at the end.

Then there is the one where the chick is rich and they guy is poor and most of the movie is spent trying to reconcile the differences between the two lifestyles. I didn't like that one so much.

Then there's also the one where the relationship has a magical beginning but then the guy does something stupid. The middle third of the movie is about just how stupid it is, and then at the end the chick forgives him after much consternation. Yay chicks.

Then there's the one about the guy who is a powerful boss or somesuch and eventualy falls in love with one of his lowley employees or associates.

How about the one where the movie teaches us that men are scum and women are above reproach?

Actually, I think that that's all of them.

I liked the Colin Firth Fever Pitch. Didn't see the American version.

High Fidelity with Cusack is also very good.

Period pieces--Sense and Sensibility (Ang Lee), and Pride and Prejudice (Firth version).

I really like that movie. The part towards the end where he crashes the single mom's group while they're chanting "Single parents alone together!" and the woman asks, "Hows Ned?" cracks me up. Just thinking about it makes me laugh.

The movie left me feeling all toasty inside, but I did not cry.

I like the movies where the classic anti-hero saves the day … he blows things up, kills only the bad guys, is American, cultural and racial stereotypes are EXACTLY portrayed as they should be –from an American perspective … He may be a scoundrel but he always has his feet squarely planted on the moral high ground … a car chase is a must, along with guns, guns and more guns … I really like the movies where only the Americans are smart enough to develop the cleverest plan to defeat the enemy … there’s a plot twist that involves a double cross, or well placed informant … and I love it when all the bad guys with automatic weapons can’t shoot into the ocean while standing knee deep in water while the good guy picks them off with a pistol that looks like a squirt gun … and every violent scene ultimately is followed by a torrid sex scene with one of many interchangeable woman … ooo yah, let’s not forget the heroin born of tragic circumstances that fights like a man but is built like a super model –she’ll sex you up and knock your block off once she’s through satisfying carnal needs …….

How about yours?

Does Annie Hall belong in this category? If so, it's far and away the best.
