I've taught Hollywood Romantic Comedy a few times. Some of my (admittedly American-centric) favorite meet cutes are listed below. Classical: *Trouble in Paradise* *Bringing Up Baby The Lady Eve * Post-classical/contemporary: *Harold & Maude Girlfriends D.E.B.S.* *She's Gotta Have It* *Bridget Jones' Diary* These aren't exactly romcoms, but they have good first meetings between their romantic leads: *Double Indemnity The Birds Out of Sight* ----- Forwarded Message ----- > *From:* "Ross, Prof. Sara A." <[log in to unmask]> > *To:* [log in to unmask] > *Sent:* Wednesday, August 8, 2012 11:26 AM > *Subject:* [SCREEN-L] meets cute > > > > Greetings, > > What are some of your favorite meet cutes? > > I want to show a bunch of them to my fall rom com class, and I don't want > to miss any especially choice ones. > > Thanks for any suggestions that you may have! > > Sally > > Sara Ross, PhD, 'Sally' > Associate Professor > Department of Communication and Media Studies > Sacred Heart University > > ---- > Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite > http://www.ScreenSite.org > > > -- Maria San Filippo Research Associate, Feminist Approaches to New Media, Five College Women's Studies Research Center Visiting Lecturer, Studies of Women, Gender, & Sexuality, Harvard University Visiting Lecturer, Foreign Languages & Literature, MIT Visiting Lecturer, American Studies, Wellesley College http://mariasanfilippo.net <http://mariasanfilippo.net/blog/> ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama: http://www.tcf.ua.edu
