00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Got anything good.

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Yesterday on the show we were talking about rom coms,

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: and I said that The Notebook was a rom com,

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: and I thought today we could talk about what do

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: we think are the greatest rom coms of all time?

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: Because actually, when you think about there have been so many,

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: so many really really great rom coms, also loads of

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: very tepid, bang average ones like Adam Sander has made

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: some good ones, but even more bad ones, and I

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: love The Sandman. But today we want to find out

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: what are the greatest of all time? The goat rom coms.

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: So we're going to form Goat Island, and on go

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: Island only four of the greatest of all time rom

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: coms can be on there. So you've really got to

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: make your pitch count which movie and why there's a

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: scene you'd like us to dig out as well? To

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: back up your case, let me know nine four one

00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: four one oh four three. Jackie boy, what are you going?

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: Do you love rom coms? First of all, I do

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: love a good rom com.

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: I love a rom com And this is the first

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: DVD I ever owned. Ten Things I Hate about You,

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 3: Brilliant Rock com. This is Heath Ledgio iconic scene where

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 3: he's singing to Julia Styles on the bleaches of the

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 3: soccer field. This is a Shakespeare play, modern adapt adaptation

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 3: into the best rong com of all time.

28
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago during lockdown, we watched it, well,

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: I watched it again. I watched it with my two

30
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: teenage daughters. And it's still a great movie.

31
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: It's still know what's the best thing about it? He

32
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: didn't care what anybody think.

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 4: It was his breakout movie, wasn't it. I think it

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 4: probably is really discovered on an international scale. He was

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 4: brilliant in it.

36
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 5: Now tell me this what year was that out?

37
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: Nineteen ninety nine?

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: Patsy, what are you going there? What do you think

39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: is your contender for greatest rom com of all time?

40
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 5: For Go Island?

41
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 6: I could fill all four spots with Bridget Jones one, two, three,

42
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 6: four equally only No, No, No, how Dare You deserves

43
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 6: its place?

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 4: Absolutely brilliant.

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 6: I think there's every woman can relate to a little

46
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 6: bit of Bridget, just that awkwardness sometimes when trying to

47
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 6: meet a partner, but also just being authentically herself. And

48
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 6: and the scene I love most is where at the

49
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 6: dinner party, Mark Darcy and her go down the staircase

50
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 6: and it's where he proclaims that he's into her, and

51
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 6: he says to her, with all of your you know,

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 6: weird bits and all your weird sort of tendencies, I

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 6: love you just the way you are. You don't need

54
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 6: to change, Bridget You're perfect.

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I just having it re enacted. We've

56
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 5: got the clip, but we don't bloody need it. You'll

57
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 5: recreating the street band on a keyboard.

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: Come surrounded by this real cast of.

59
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 5: What this is a clip you're talking about?

60
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 7: I think, I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous

61
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 7: about you. Your mother's pretty interesting, and you really are

62
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 7: an appallingly bad public speaker, and you tend to let

63
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 7: whatever is in your head come out of your mouth

64
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 7: without much consideration of the consequences. I realized that when

65
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 7: I met you at the Turkey curry buffet that I

66
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 7: was unforgivably rude and wearing a reindeer jumper that my

67
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 7: mother had given me in the day before. But the

68
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 7: thing is, what I'm trying to say, very inarticulately, is that,

69
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 7: in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you very much.

70
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 8: Apart from the smoking and the drinking and the vulcan

71
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 8: mother and the verbal Diarry, I like him very much,

72
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 8: just as you are.

73
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: Bridgie Jones has to go on the Go Island. It's

74
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: such a great It is one of the greatest rom

75
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: comms of all time.

76
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 5: You're right? And the fourth one, Patsy, I.

77
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: Don't think I've got into saying this that throughout the

78
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: other week. It's brilliant, isn't it.

79
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 5: Oh my god? You're right.

80
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: It is such a moving They really really they did

81
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: something really special with that.

82
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 5: I thought it was a great movie.

83
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: I think it still leaves the door open for maybe

84
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: even another one or two, but it is the fourth

85
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: one is very very good.

86
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 5: All right? What else should be on Go Island?

87
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 7: The Christian O'Connell show podcast, What.

88
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: Do you think is the greatest rom com of all time?

89
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: We're looking to our four on Go Island? The greatest

90
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: of all time?

91
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 5: Island? Are the four the best romantic comedies? Make your case?

92
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 5: Which movie you love? Nine? Four, one, four, one oh

93
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 5: four three.

94
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: I was just trying to work out which actor and

95
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: actresses have been in the most like ten out of

96
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: ten rom coms. I reckon it's between Julia Roberts and

97
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: Hugh Grant, because Hugh Grant obviously has been in low's

98
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: his hit rate. Actually, so, I think about a lot

99
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: of people saying how much they love love Actually right,

100
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: she got Hugh, and that Bridget Jones is in notting

101
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Hill with another huge rom com star and a great actress,

102
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: Judy Roberts as well.

103
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 5: They've been in so many The.

104
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: Other two I think of is Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson.

105
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Matthew Nay has a lower hit rate than anybody else,

106
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: which is why since we realized and he's just stopped

107
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: in rom Comms and actually become the true great actor

108
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: I am, he just led them by. I can't count

109
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: No one has mentioned any of the McConaughey he is

110
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: when he was into rom Commons, which is so astonishing

111
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: about his career. Then when he goes in and does

112
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: like True Detective and all these incredible ether roles. Now

113
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: you love Jack's contender then for greatest of all time,

114
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: rom comm is a great one with Heath Ledger.

115
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 5: Ten Things I Hate about.

116
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: You, PATSI, You're absolutely right. It was his international breakout role.

117
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: Ten Things I hate about you. And it was Heath

118
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: Ledger's choice to sing can't take my eyes off of

119
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: You on that clip that we listened to before, because

Speaker 1: You don't want to hear a hormonal teenage boy college

123
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: thing in this to audiences around the world.

124
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 5: It's not the right.

125
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: Thing, changes the whole.

126
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know.

127
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: They're directors or someone that made a smarter choice. All right,

00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 5: What's it for you?

132
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: When Harry met Sally?

133
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: Yes, it's one of my favorite movies of all time.

134
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: What do you love about it?

135
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 8: Well, even apart from the cafe saying what my probably

136
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 8: one of my favorite part is at the end on

137
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 8: New Year's Eve when he finally realizes that he's they

138
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 8: met for each other, and then he runs in and

139
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 8: like you know, proclaims all the things that he doesn't

140
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 8: understand about it, but despite all that, he just he

141
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 8: loves her anyway.

142
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: It's not because I'm lonely, and it's not for goods

143
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: of New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when

144
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: you realize you want to spend the rest of your

145
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: life with somebody, you want the rest of your life

146
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: to start as soon as passible.

147
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's a great movie, right, watch it

148
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: every couple of years. When it came out, it was

149
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: like nineteen eighty nine, I think, or nineteen ninety nine.

150
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: That was the end of the eighties, and I was

151
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: like sixteen or seventeen. I love that movie. Do you

152
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: know it's only ninety six minutes, right. I think it's

153
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: one of the perfect comedies. And what it is is

154
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: like most romantic movies and romantic comedies, they're about the spark,

155
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: they're about falling in love. What I loved about Harry

156
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: When Harry Met Sallie's still now. It's about what happens

157
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: over the years. I've been watching that as a young man,

158
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: thinking if I get married, I hope it's someone like that.

159
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: Next month, we're twenty seven years married together. I love

160
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: When Harry Met Sally. It's such a great movie because

161
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: over the ninety six odd minutes, their relationship grows over

162
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: twelve years, they help each other through all these different breakups.

163
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: There's a very different take on what it is not

164
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: just to fall in love, but obviously to sustain it

165
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: and to keep it going over the years. You're right,

166
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: it's a great movie, Danielle.

167
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 8: And then they have just quickly and then they have

168
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 8: all those losses, all the old pop along the way, Yes,

169
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 8: and just how they all may different stories. It's just

170
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 8: the whole movie is just perfect.

171
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

172
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Also when you watch it right, you should watch it again.

173
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: It's a time wheek and it is the definitely the eighties.

174
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: Men are wearing very big chunky sweaters that's not yet

175
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:08,920
