Rom coms, as we know them from the 80s (the greats like Moonstruck, When Harry Met Sally) have pretty much died out. I'm an easy going viewer, but even I think that the conventional rom com in the 2000s is crap. I agree with Billy Mernit that the best rom coms now are hybrids. Like "Warm Bodies" which is a totally successful, romantic, and funny mash up of a rom com and a zombie movie.
42 was another great one. Oh I love me a good sports movie. Robinson comes off as one cool dude.
Best rewatch: Hadn't seen The Full Monty in years. It's so brilliant. And here's the best scene, which almost wasn't included... the unemployed guys waiting in line for their govt cheques

I agree with you, that scene in The Full Monty was just so understatedly beautiful!
