I'd consider the Terminal as a romantic comedy because it was amusing and the romance was a central theme of the movie.

Addicted to Love (4): Tarantino, whaaat

The Money Pit: Robodad

The Terminal definitely counts. That guy loved his goat so much that he was willing to smuggle drugs. What's not romantic or comedic about that?

I guess I should have gone French Kiss, but for the life of me I could not think of a single Meg Ryan movie at the time.

I'm going to tally up the votes now...

[Alex Trebek] Ahhh, Frenchy, it hurts to miss ones like those [/Alex Trebek]

In the interest of time, I am declaring, with an Iron Lock™, that both Big and The Terminal are romantic comedies. From my count, it's a 5-3 and 5-1 count for on each, respectively.

(I voted against Big but I am in the minority).

sauce, I meant AllMovieGuide, not IMDB.

Big (4): DSC4, frenchy

[Connery]Shuck it, Trebek.[/Connery]

Splash (4): Groucho, The Movie Man

I was just making the point that just because a comedy has romance doesn't make it a romantic comedy. Big is not about the romance, it's about a boy wishing to be big and dealing with those issues, women just happens to be one of those issues.

Joe vs. the Volcano (18): Fandango, KillerCannibal, wishbone, bootsy, Palaver, Ash Ketchum, jjcool, maxfisher, stp115

And belboz drops from 2nd to 8th.

And there it is. Boom goes the dynamite.

IMO for a movie to qualify as a ROMANTIC comedy, the romantic aspect of the plot should be the PRIMARY FOCUS of the movie, and not some subplot that may (or may not) add depth to the characters but does not remain the driving focus of the movie.

Is ANIMAL HOUSE a romantic comedy because of the relationship between Boone and Katie? AUSTIN POWERS? RUSHMORE? ANCHORMAN? Almost all those movies have relationship/romantic aspects, but their focus predominantly lies elsewhere.

In that regard, BIG, THE TERMINAL, and come on *especially* THE NAKED GUN are not romantic comedies. But I'm not one to quibble, I'm not running the game.


Although I got ROYALLY APPLE-TREED by the Coke/Product Placement...

Question 11. R: Name a movie directed by Peter Jackson.

The Bus has ruled, I vote we do not belabor the point any longer.

What theater has released The Lovely Bones, sauce07?

(Anyone else is invited to declare this a right or wrong answer).

Is there a crying smilie that would be apropos for this situation?

E

I have never seen Volunteers, but the rest are certainly not.

And here is where my Bad Taste answer would've done well. Instead... well. Prepare for another bloodbath.

UNLESS... You said...



And wishbone, IMDB lists Forgotten Silver as a TV movie.
