That Is My Movie! White Rom-Coms Black Folks Love

December 4th, 2012 - By Jazmine Denise Rogers

 

I’m a sucker for romantic comedies; battle of the sexes and chick flicks with all-Black casts are actually my weakness. But that doesn’t take away from my love for the same types of films with predominately White casts, which I find to be equally entertaining At the end of the day, love is love, regardless of race and I know I’m not the only one out there who loves Love Jones just as much as, say, The Notebook. Check out this list of popular rom-coms that have predominantly White casts but are on plenty of black folks’ “favorite move” lists.

    Something Borrowed it is so underrated. That movie was excellence and relate able for ppl. Stars Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin. About love and friendship.

    The Notebook, need I say more? Lol. I can watch it a million times and it never gets old. I still cry at all the same parts as if I haven’t seen it before :)

    I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the notebook and 500 days of summer

    And white worship continues. I wonder how many all blk casts can white folks tell you about? Because I’m sure they loved Soul Food, Jumping the Broom etc.

    • Cleo

      I see where you coming from, but unfortunately white people run the media and our stories or films are not seen as important as theirs.

      • get real

        Does that mean drool over their bs all white cast movies? Your attitude is why little blk kids can see a white doll and say its prettier and better then the one that looks like her.

  • Diam

    I can’t be the only Black girl who loves When Harry Meets Sally.

    • Teri

    I could watch Bridemaids over and over! That movie had me cracking up in the theater! I have to agree with most of this list but having to keep clicking was getting on my nerves!

  • Guest89

    I like most of these. The Notebook, Ghost, and Dirty Dancing aren’t romantic comedies though, more like drama/tear jerkers.

  • Allie

    I LOVE the breakup and bridesmaids :)

    Before i look through this list, its Bridesmaids i effin LOVE that movie. To me it was the equivalent to the Hangover but the female version.

    • Dee

      I have both the Hangover and Bridesmaids on blu ray and dvd! I can’t even say how many times I have watched both.
