It's also..."It Happened One Night" is a great film. It's also a multiple-Oscar Award-winning classic--as opposed to a cult classic, like "Raising Arizona." By "off-beat," I mean strange, wacky, bizarre. You know, like a film where the male lead is 21 and the female is 79. The Capra film is, I believe, the template by which all mainstream romantic comedies should be judged (and I don't mean "mainstream" as a put-down).<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4767719024051592524.post-83047313444801232802005-06-11T16:01:00.000-07:002005-06-11T16:01:00.000-07:00"template by which all off-beat romantic comedies ..."template by which all off-beat romantic comedies should be judged?"<br>What about It Happened One Night or Sullivan's Travels?<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4767719024051592524.post-45175572166037810692005-06-06T15:05:00.000-07:002005-06-06T15:05:00.000-07:00I love "The Last Detail," but didn't think it was ...I love "The Last Detail," but didn't think it was relevant to my argument (almost mentioned it; decided against it). I wouldn't recommend "Max and Grace," unless you're a huge fan of David Krumholz, Natasha Lyonne, Lorraine Bracco, David Paymer, Tim Blake Nelson, and/or Karen Black. But even then, they've all done better work elsewhere--especially Lyonne (the film does her few favors).<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4767719024051592524.post-65159509478425900012005-06-06T14:55:00.000-07:002005-06-06T14:55:00.000-07:00Kathy,Your comments are just vague enough to avoid...Kathy,<br>Your comments are just vague enough to avoid sounding like an outright warning.
