Hi, Yes HELLOOOO

🥰 Happy Valentine's Day!!!! 🥰

And if it's not your thing - remember that tomorrow means half price candy! 🤩

It's that time again where you let me know what you think should be next!! This will be the last lovey dovey romance Monday of the Month!  Some have enjoyed it and other not so much 😂

Understandable though - romcoms aren't everyone's cup of tea. 

I'll let you know what I have in mind for March - next week, but until then
WHAT AM I WATCHING NEXT??

Please Pretty in Pink.

Jill Bristol

I still say "Mannequin"...💜

Danika Silva

I'd recommend Me, Myself and Irene 😆🤣😂😹

Two Cents Magoo

Point of Order: Please add SIXTEEN CANDLES. More laughs, more love, less Blane. I love me some Ducky, but ...

Bill Bevins

Voted for Something About Mary. It's just too funny.

iamrman82

Pretty in Pink for some 80's cheese.

Thomas Ivie

We need a good R-rated romcom to finish on a high note. Vote for Mary!

Marcus

While Pretty In Pink has some great 1980s fashions and hairstyles, TSAM does a good hairstyle as well.

Rebecca Anne

^^ Indeed! Personally, I didn't really like pretty in pink, always preferred sixteen candles.

Rebecca Anne

Maybe you could have a Tom Hanks month. There are so many good ones i keep thinking of, like Big, The Burbs, The Money Pit, A League of Their Own, Apollo 13, Splash, Turner & Hooch (bring tissues).... so many movies i loved watching as a youngster.

Elliot Nesterman

"Moonstruck." It's rare among romcoms in that it is not sappy and is written with an adult, rather than an adolescent, sensibility. Also, unlike others that have been on your list, Moonstruck was nominated for six Academy Awards, winning three: Best Actress, (Cher), Best Supporting Actress (Olympia Dukakis), and Best Original Screenplay (John Patrick Shanley, an Oscar, Tony, and Pulitzer winning writer). Moonstruck is a proper classic, not just a movie people remember fondly from their youth.

Robert Gruhn

I hope you eventually watch all 3.

Be Kind

Not to mention, his absolute best: Forrest Gump (1994) Saving Private Ryan (1998) The Green Mile (1999)

Be Kind

Well, dang! I only remember I felt happy for Cher bc when an aud saw her name in the titles of her 1st movie, they laughed. So this was like vindication. I also remember Nic Cage’s unique line delivery. But after your praise-worthy write-up, I’m curious about checking it out again myself.

Be Kind

OMG! I’m ready for some epic films. Along w/yours: The Godfather 1 & 2 (1972, ‘74) Apocalypse Now (1979) Braveheart (1995) Saving Private Ryan (1998) Troy (2004)

"I lost my hand! I lost my bride!" C'mon. "Chrissy, over on the wall, bring me the big knife. I want to cut my throat."

Kristen North

I agree. Moonstruck is one of those films like Bull Durham where you just get blown away be how many amazing lines and conversations are crammed into one film. And there’s so much more to it than the main romance.

Kristen North

I added my husband watch all the John Hughes movies for the first time when we met, and Sixteen Candles was his least favorite by far. It has a lot more elements that your brain skips over when you have sentimental attachments but that really stand out to someone seeing it today.

Be Kind

I have fond memories of Some Kind of Wonderful.

Kristen North

I’m an older GenX who has watched an average number of movies, but I’d be just like you with Only the Lonely. My memory can’t conjure up actors or a plot or a poster. I just get The Motels in my head.

Be Kind

I’m so glad she didn’t add another choice. I was getting worried it might always be a bridesmaid and never a bride. Can’t wait to see it again! 🤓

Mark Finley

Only the lonely isn't well known enough to ever win a vote like this, which is a shame, because it's a great movie. I Don't think the critics could handle John Candy as a romantic lead in a romcom.

Elliot Nesterman

"Do you love him, Loretta?" "No." "Good. When you love them they drive you crazy, because they know they can."

Michael Buhl

It's not as famous as a lot of the other movies that are suggested to you, but I'm still pushing for The In-Laws (the 1979 original, not the 2003 remake). It's not a romance, but it does end with a wedding.

Bill Bevins

Hilariously funny movie. Peter Falk gives a great performance here, as does Alan Arkin. "Serpentine! I said run serpentine."

Heather Qualy

Drat! I had a hard time with the last vote until Ghost was added, because I don’t like ANY of these other three. Are these the 3 that are going to be watched regardless, we’re just picking the order? I always watch your reactions with my parents who are 72 and 82. We love you so they tolerate the language, horror scenes, and such. But There’s Something About Mary is so crude, I think I’d be embarrassed even watching your reaction while sitting next to them. I still say Overboard. And when we’re out of February, I’m going to keep saying The Karate Kid.

Bill Bevins

Isn't that taking Parental Guidance suggested a little too far?😁 Sorry. Couldn't help it.

Eric Janssen

I won't spoil talk about zippers or hair gel, but I'll concur that the only reason "They're all asking for There's Something About Mary!" is because it's a raunchy cult Farrelly Brothers comedy, and the streaming fans who want to make EVERY reactor watch it never miss a trick when it comes to suggestion excuses. If you want actual February romance, I'll third/fourth/whatever the recommendation for Moonstruck, one of the few romcoms brilliant, clever, and mushy enough for Hubbins-type guys to watch...It's that good.

Be Kind

I second!

Eric Janssen

Also because we were DROWNING in mass John Hughes-produced John Candy comedies by the time Uncle Buck and The Great Outdoors came out, this one got lost in the shuffle, and comparing itself to the classic Ernest Borgnine "Marty" didn't help.

Mark Finley

I can't argue against those points at all, but all these years later it could be considered a forgotten classic, and I think she would enjoy it.

Eric Janssen

I didn't grow up in NYC, but in a legendarily Italian-heavy small town upstate--We later moved out, but when I saw Moonstruck with my sister years later, we heard the dialogue, looked at each other, and just...nodded, from recognition. :)

Arki Kali

I kept hoping someone would do Kate & Leopold, but alas.

Kenton Kruger

Some Kind of Wonderful seems to be the forgotten one of the group which is too bad, I love all 4 of the main cast members.

Two Cents Magoo

Some Kind of Wonderful is marvelous. I'm so happy that others feel nostalgic about it. MSM is underrated. She and MLP are perfect in Fried Green Tomatoes. When you add Tandy and Bates? Delicious.

Kenton Kruger

Some of us actually enjoy the movie too, and would appreciate a break from an entire month of simple sappy romance.

Be Kind

“ ... the streaming fans who want to make EVERY reactor watch it ... “ Your condescension is palpable. And your “facts” are wrong. Only one reaction to it one month ago. A popular film almost no one else has done is good for the channel. It’s also very funny and def diff for a rom-com, regardless of whether or not it fits your sense of humor. Neither does it take anything away from Moonstruck which has been suggested so many times it’s likely to pop-up in a poll at some point.

Tyler Foster

A bride without a head, a wolf without a foot. We may not be here to make things perfect, but Moonstruck is close enough.

odieses

Shawshank Redemption!

T.J. Gengler

How about a romance that's a whole lot less lovey-dovey and not even a bit Rom-comy? "What Dreams May Come" is just the thing.

Alexis Walters

Oh man thats a doozer! I loved it though

Birdie Num Num

The Fly. Great love story, not kidding. Wish you had more than just 4 spots on the member picks, would have liked to been in that tier.

Gene Brownfield

with Ashleigh humor, you all know she needs to watch something about Mary!

Oouga

Suggesting "Dirty Dancing" instead of those listed above, lol.

Two Cents Magoo

Be Kind, please give it a second look. Shanley's screenplay is tight, the supporting cast is filled with legends, and with Jewison at the helm, it dances as if written for the stage.

Natira Bookman

I would say "Dirty Dancing" or "Overboard" over the ones listed above.

Eric Janssen

1) Patrick Swayze, 2) Romance, 3) Millennial 80's Icon...Yep, I'd say Dirty Dancing's a given.

Eric Frazee

Shawshank and dirty dancing yes. Overboard is not good 👎

Elliot Nesterman

Lina Wertmuller's beautiful romance "Swept Away"(1974) is wonderful. While filmed in Italian the cast is all multilingual, and Wertmuller had the actors do their own foreign language dubbing, so the English dubbed version is excellent. FYI, the full title of the film is "Swept Away by an Unusual Destiny in the Blue Sea of August." Don't bother with the Madonna remake; that one is awful.

Kristopher McCoy

Shawshank is amazing but not a romance movie. Dirty Dancing is kind of a meme movie today but it's good not great. Overboard was also good not great. I would like to see her watch The Fisher King (my favorite movie) but I think she may enjoy more classic romantic movies like Splash, Sleepless in Seattle, Moonstruck and Roxanne. Another two movies not quite in this same mold that I would personally like her to see would be The Man with Two Brains and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind :)

Elliot Nesterman

I've been plumping for Moonstruck for months now. Roxanne is fun, but I'd have her go back to Jose Ferrer's great performance in Cyrano de Bergerac. He won Best Actor for reprising his Tony winning role. And you can't beat Rostand's script.
