I'll tug your heartstrings: the writer of Cats & Dogs, Audrey Wells, was my bestie & she died way too early of ovarian cancer. (She also wrote/directed Under the Tuscan Sun, among other great movies you love.) So, pls vote! :) DM me if you're USian & want info re: free genetic testing. #FuckCancer

Hey Romancelandia! Acouple hours left on yesterday’s #RomComBracket polls

Toe picks and nostalgia 💙

From a cultural standpoint, French Kiss is more iconic. But as an elder millennial I was obsessed with Reese Witherspoon, the magical vibes, her chemistry w/ Mark Ruffalo, Napoleon Dynamite as a psychic, & Katie Melua's charming cover of The Cure's "Just Like Heaven".

It's a battle of the 90's and I was a pre-teen Janeane Garofalo stan.

#RomComBracket 2025 Round 4 ❤️ I know some favs were knocked out by other favs... It was inevitable. But let's see if Spite voting will be activated this round 😈

One of these days, a non-English language film will make it to the final 8. #RomComBracket

And we're back. Gave it an extra day for the dust to settle on the last polls, and here we are Round 4! #RomComBracket

Just beautiful. Let's keep the good times rolling. 😂 #RomComBracket

Vote for Desk Set. It’s a way more cohesive and charming movie AND relevant !!

Hepburn was 50 and Tracy was 57 when Desk Set came out. Voting for the movie that celebrates two 50-somethings as romantic leads who are just as deserving of an HEA. #RomComBracket

*reads Mrs. Winterbourne, votes Mrs. Winterbourne*

This was rude and hurtful

Justice for French Kiss - I’m pulling for it to go all the way

Rye Lane had me from the get go. But when it started showing you Yas or Doms memories as they were telling each other about them as if it is a play within the movie. Are you kidding me?! Put this in my VEINS. #romcombracket

Mrs Winterbourne is perfection.

The Cutting Edge, she raised me. The Fall Guy, I watched that last year in theaters the same day I saw Hit Man at a different theater. It was a great movie experience with two top-tier romcoms. I love the classic, but also want to support the new. Going Fall Guy. #romcombracket

Joel Kim Booster made a modern Pride and Prejudice for Quibi. Quibi went out of business. He turned it from Lil episodes into a perfect movie. That's some kind of witchery. It is so insane to me that he pulled that off. Fire Island, you were pulled into existence by sheer will and ridiculous talent.

Kevin Kline is a SCOUNDREL. He is a naughty mustache man. A bit of a thief. But hey, if Jean Reno is your best friend can you be that bad? Maybe he just wants to own a vineyard and kiss Meg Ryan while he grabs her dress like he wants to strangle it for touching her. #romcombracket

Re-watched Mr. Malcolm's List last night, and it's just so cuuute. Along with the romance and sparkling humor, I forgot something. The parents! The family of the leads are so wonderful. It's nice to see our protagonists have such support and love, when that never happens. Refreshing in many ways.

I am pulling for French Kiss to take the whole thing! I quote this scene all the time!

Fire Island is losing and it should not be

Don’t let Rye Lane down now!!!!!

I love The Cutting Edge, but The Fall Guy is funnier and swoonier and has Winston Duke! #RomComBracket

Fire Island! Please! It's funny, it's sexy, it's gay, it's a great contemporary Pride and Prejudice, and it's not outright colonialistic! #RomComBracket

Another matchup where I love the older movie, but I voted for the newer movie, because Rye Lane is a new fav and near rom-com perfection! #RomComBracket

Desk Set. It's so, so good and so very relevant, especially today. #RomComBracket

I really dislike RtS, always have. Fire Island for me

French Kiss, French Kiss, French Kiss

Many of you have not seen Rye Lane and it shows

We as a people need to do a better job of voting for new rom coms over classics #RomComBracket

please vote for Rye Lane! #RomComBracket

People. People. People. Rye Lane cannot go out like this! I know My Big Fat Greek Wedding is classic and Nia Vardalos and John Corbett are cutie. But let’s make some room in our lives for a new classic.. a movie so good it bends gravity. That movie is Rye Lane.

Juliette Binoche is no Audrey Hepburn and Greg Kinnear is certainly no William Holden. Tracy & Hepburn (Katherine, for clarity) forever.

Before you pick the better romcom here is my favorite "com" scene from Fire Island (which should win) youtu.be/lNchouL-TrQ?...

Blah blah toepick whatever, Ryan Gosling has nuclear charisma in The Fall Guy

This one is unfairly hard.

Fire Island is the only correct choice #RomComBracket

This one was really hard but I went with Rye Lane. Even if you don’t vote for it, you should still watch it. #RomComBracket

Let's go Mr. Malcolm's List. (Honestly I'm very happy it's making it this far. Would love to see it go even further.)

I thought for sure you guys would be all about the big Mr. Darcy energy in Fire Island!

Team capybara for life. #RomComBracket

Here for The Cutting Edge y'all. I want it to make it further on.

The Fall Guy is the correct answer 👍

Look I know y’all love toe pick! But Ryan Gosling crying to Taylor Swift in his truck and having to grovel his way back into Emily Blunt’s good graces is just pure serotonin. #RomComBracket

Rye Lane iykyk

Sir Capybara and co for the win, please.
