I love romantic comedies, they leave a nice taste in the mouth afterwards. Some great ones mentioned, I'll throw a few into the hat.
Hitch, if you like it Big Willy Style this is a terrific romantic comedy.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a romantic comedy in reverse. The comedy is dark, the romance is blunt, but the cocktail is sweet heaven.
Stranger Than Fiction, a Spotless Mind wannabe, that only falls short by a smidge.
Wimbledon, a by the numbers Brit romcom (even including the obligatory American actress), but a sweet film.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith, yes, it IS a romantic comedy, with some action, NOT an action film, with some romantic comedy. And it's verbal wit is akin to the Grant/Hepburn classics of yesteryear.
Recently I enjoyed 27 Dresses (another by the numbers, but Heigl is a goddess) and Forgetting Sarah Marshall (a nice line in crude).
And I can't leave without mentioning Chasing Amy, not in the last 8 years, but a classic.
