Every week, we’ll pose a new “five favorites” question. You just list your five favorites that fit in that category (preferably in preference order) and you’re welcome to discuss and debate the selections and see just how much you do or do not have in common with others. If you want to take a look back at our past articles to comment or enjoy, here is a post set aside to track all of our articles.

Late last year, I asked what your favorite modern romantic comedies were. This time, let’s go back in time and pick out the best of the classics.

  Revised above entry – I can’t believe I left out my all-time favorite romantic comedy, The Awful Truth which replaces The Farmer’s Daughter.
