Hey Guys (I know you are reading),
I really could do with some input from your lovely selves because I have hit a slump in a particular film genre so I am asking for you to tell me your favourites..
Comedy.
I have loads of posts on the way including cinema reviews, some more three of a kinds and my latest installment of the 30 day challenge but I want more comedy (I will take rom coms to) up here.
So….
Please let me know if you have a fave film I simply must see or if there’s a film out there that you thought was rubbish and you’d like another opinion on?! I’d love to get interactive and review some stuff you guys have thrown at me!
Comment below or find me on FACEBOOK. Ohhhhh, you can tweet me too@thisgirlonfilm.
I can’t wait to hear from you.

Sorry I’m a little late to your post, but I’ve been browsing through your blog and it seemed rude to depart without leaving a comment.
Comedy is definitely hard to write. Some people can do it, but very few can make it work on screen. When you well and truly laugh at a movie, it’s a rare thing. When you think about it, very few comedies stick out for people. For people of my generation, they’ll mention films like “See No Evil, Hear No Evil” or “Cool Runnings.” They are very funny films. But why, what was it about them films? It’s hard to say.
I tend not to rank films based on their complexity or originality. I’m more interested in how much I relate to them. This is probably why I have always been interested in romantic comedies. Within the confines of a very predictable genre, there’s the opportunity for fun, randomness, and big laughs, with the occasional life-lesson thrown in. I have a huge affection for the rom-com’s of the late 80s and early1990s and they had a huge impact on my love for cinema and storytelling.
That being said I’m really loathe to give you any recommendations. Maybe “When Harry Met Sally…” or Billy Wilder classics “Some Like it Hot” and “The Apartment.”

Hey
Thanks for taking the time to comment and for having a nosy round my little blog.
You are right in what you say. I very rarely laugh at loud at very much and for a while I thought I just didn’t have a sense of humour. What I have come to realise that everyone is different, which is pretty obvious really. That said, i do try to write from my point of view and how something makes me feel. I just wanted to branch out into something other than the suspense/mystery/thrillers I always seem to be watching, not for any other reason but to see more films. I love films hence this blog.
