The Best RomCom Scenes - Sit Back and Relax

Monday's Funny
The Best Romantic Comedy Scenes

Do you have a moment to watch some great Rom Com scenes? Below are some of my favorites, but believe me, there are too many to put.  So, take a seat, relax and enjoy!
_________________________________________________________________

I have to start with one of my alltime favorite Romantic Comedies... When Harry Met Sally


And since that makes me think of Meg Ryan, the best Romantic Comedy actress of all time, here is another scene from Sleepless in Seattle.




Do you remember The Princess Bride? You want me to show you? Okay.... As You Wish! 


Oh, and how about this great scene from The Romantics (although I don't think this is quite Romantic Comedy). This kiss tops my fave movie kisses. :)


One of my favorite comedians is Adam Sandler. His humor reminds me of my husband. :) Here is a scene from 50 First Dates


This is one from my teen years. I think I saw this movie in the theatre about 20 times. This has one of the best entries I've ever seen. 




And, of course, Bridget Jones Diary. This woman takes after my own heart! 



Thanks for stopping by!

Booking Through Thursday 3/29/12


Today is Booking Through Thursday. Each week a question related to reading is posted and bloggers answer on Thursdays. Click the link above to participate!

This week's question:
Are there any fictional characters whom you have emulated? What literary character do you feel is most like you personality-wise, and why?
What a difficult question! I often read books and wish I was like a character.  I mean, who doesn't want to be like Scarlett O'Hara? Or dare I say Katniss Everdeen?


One of my all-time favorite characters is Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and Prejudice. I love her feistiness and "pride." Despite her mother's need for her to marry, and the various proposals, she surges forward with the power and persistence of only marrying who she pleases. Thank God!

Then again, as I ponder, perhaps Elizabeth can be like me. I think of her quote: “I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”  I have to agree! Reading is my salvation! Now, if I could just work on that library.

But, I would have to say, I am most similar to Bridget in Bridget Jone's Diary. Doomed to be a little over weight, clumsy, and oh so sarcastic! I love her!

Happy reading!
