You know what reallu cracks me up? Those flying ninjas or whatever they are..the martial arts guys, sort of sailing through the air...I just can't take that seriously, it looks humorous to me! You're right, I Remember Mama, or Shop Around the Corner, would be flops, these days. As you say, there are the romantic comedies, and I believe 'You've Got Mail' is a take-off on the Shop film...but they don't seem to have the depth that they used to. Every now and then, you see one that sticks with you...I tend to like the Masterpiece Theatre remakes, like jane Eyre. Movies like The Pianist, Shindler's List, what's that one Ang was talking about, The Incredible Lightness of Being? There aresome great ones, but I know what you mean...more times than not, I forget the newer films, a couple of hours after I've seen them! -- Judi's Romance in Vintage Film Forum
