Oh, oh. We watched Much Ado About Nothing on video for drama class when I was in school; it's been about as many years since I saw it last, but I remember loving that verbal sparring and thinking they were completely made for each other.

I forgot about A Very Long Engagement; I absolutely loved, loved, loved that one. I think-- yes, I think I want to rewatch it now. Maybe Vel has it on DVD, because I know I don't. I don't think I've ever heard of the other one, though, I'm sorry.

Fuzz is, um, you know, if something make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Just kind of fuzzy and heart-warming? That's it.

The Slipper and the Rose. It still cracks me up, and it's beautiful, visually.

It doesn't really fit the typical romcom formula. It's just-- I don't know, it's romance with comedy, or comedy with romance, and it's a fairytale, so it just feels kind of different, you know?

I never watched the other two.
