honestly.. I had a crazy 1930s/40s romcom phase and there’s a good reason.. they were better… my top pics are below but if you haven’t seen bringing up baby oh my god get ready -it happened one night (1934)
-the thin man (1934) (not exactly a rom com but yes it is)
-my man Godfrey (1936)
-bringing up baby (1938)
-the shop around the corner (1940)
-his girl Friday (1940)
-the lady eve (1941)
-cluny brown (1946)
A delightful (82-minute) screwball (with a super-weird title). The movie made me wonder: was Molly Ringwald the reincarnation of Ginger Rogers?! She’s great here. It even features a scene where she competes in a dance contest!
