Casablanca, Gone With The Wind, To Have and Have Not, Ghost, Pretty Woman, Officer and a Gentleman...What do each of these films have in common? Quick answer: all have been included in some listing of great romance movies. But, let's not argue. I'd rather take a minute looking at films that have humorous plot lines centered on romantic ideals. Love and humor is a winning combination.
In short, let's look at romantic comedies. In my view some of the very best films in this genre were products of the gifts and talents of Norah Ephron. Her films were not only commercially successful, but her brand of "chick flicks" found a place in the hearts of an adoring public.
