You know what era of romcoms I miss? It's the early 2000s teen romcoms that were based on classic literature. They were some of my favorite ones, and yeah, some were loosley based, but they still hit those important bases, and they were so much fun.

We had:

Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew - 10 Things I Hate About You

Shakespeare's 12th Night - She's the Man

Snow White - Sydney White

Cinderella - A Cinderella Story, What a Girl Wants

Little Mermaid - Aquamarine

Jane Austen's Emma - Clueless

The Scarlett Letter - Easy A

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet - Warm Bodies

Shakespeare's Midnight Summer's Dream - Get Over It

Pygmalion - She's All That

Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor - John Tucker Must Die

Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility - Material Girls

I might be missing some, but I remember just having fun with these. One of my English teachers also showed us a few of these movies while studying Shakespeare to show how pieces of literature can change over the years and inspire other's own takes.

having a zombie boyfriend counts as reducing reusing AND recycling

Filmmakers: we need a super pale half dead looking sad white boy

Hollywood: say less fam

An excellent addition to the the “weird girl x undead creature” comedy legacy

Welp. I guess my type now is sweet submissive dead boy who is eternally devoted to his living girlfriend.

read the book recently so ive got it on the mind… no other campy zombie rom com version of romeo and juliet in 2013 could compare tbh

dude i don’t give a shit what anybody has to say, “warm bodies” is fucking lovely. PERIOD. end of discussion. and it is a complete and utter disgrace that netflix is removing it !! the app says it’ll be off Oct 2, so please, watch this adorable ass movie while you can ! 100% you will not regret, and it’s only 1hr 37min, seriously !! the message is so good, and i love that (and i’m gonna try not to spoil it with this but) they touch on the fact that people really can change, but also that there are some that are just too far gone, like the worst kind of people who have completely forfeited their humanity. ugh, seriously, watch it, i’m so in love with this silly little movie. ♥️🧟‍♂️♥️

If I had a nickel for every time I liked a romantic comedy about a human girl falling in love with a zombie, I'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot, but makes me wonder what the fuck is wrong with me that it happened three times.
