Say what again mother f**ker!
I hate "chick flicks"(they are the crapy version of romance films and there are very few good romance films). But a good romance is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, great film I think its Jim Carrey's best.

I love reading this thread even if I am reading my latest Harlequin romance, drinking iced tea, and snacking on Crunch n’ Munch at the same time.

Wow… I sure paint pretty pictures.



Does Jersey Girl count?
