I've seen the 18 in bold print. I don't tend to like "romantic comedies". Typically, they're too sweet/sappy for me, and I prefer the quirkier ones.

  3. I tend not to like romantic films either, but "Four Weddings and a Funeral" is a wonderful film. I saw it three times in a week, in the cinema, when it came out. There was this one bleak morning shot of London that I just loved so much. It´s more about love than romance, anyway. I dare you not to like it... ;-)

  4. I've seen 26 of the ones you haven't seen I would recommend Lars and the Real Girl, quirky and light hearted.
