Brad DeLong rightly rips into A.O. Scott for stupidly thinking that "The Devil Wears Prada" was a romance and for comparing modern romance films with the old classics.

He lists his favorite modern romances are: "Moonstruck," "Four
Weddings and a Funeral,"* and the Jennifer Ehle-Colin Firth "Pride and
Prejudice" from 1995.

Loved "Four Weddings and a Funeral" — back before Hugh Grant was getting blow jobs from hookers. Anything with Colin Firth in it is seriously drool-worthy. Not so much with "Moonstruck". So what would you add to the list?

My pix: "A Room With A View", "Shakespeare in Love," "While You Were Sleeping," "The Age of Innocence," and "Bull Durham."  Perhaps "Knocked Up," "40 Year Old Virgin," and "The Wedding Crashers." Maybe "Sweet Home Alabama."
