Wow! I feel so cultured - several of my favorites are on MargoChanning's list. The Philadelphia Story, His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby (how can you not love that one?), It Happened One Night (Clark Gable!), My Man Godfrey...
Well, my mom's an old-film fanatic, especially if said films involve Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant, so I've seen quite a few!

These are my favorite kinds of movies.

If I could only pick one to watch over and over (which I actually do anyway,) it would be Mr. Lee's and Ms. Thompson's SENSE AND SENSIBILITY - it gets me every time.

Followed very closely by LOVE, ACTUALLY.

Given the community here, I'm surprised no one mentioned TRICK, which I also like a lot.

How could I have forgotten The Philadelphia Story?! I also adore the Audrey Hepburn movies, but I couldn't decide whether some would be classified as romantic comedies.

Anyway, I really think that When Harry Met Sally is just about the high pinnacle of this genre in the last twenty years. It's romantic without being ridiculously gooey (or maybe it is, but has enough wit and humor to compensate, in my mind). I seem to never get tired of it.
