Elizabethtown surprisingly great
Elizabethtown is a movie that critics hated and I just happened to see as a title on a United flight. Glad we rented it, although the premise is a little strange and amazing, I thought that people and the story were great. Kirsten Dunst who I have to admit I really didn't like much in Spider-Ma although I'm sure that made her as a star, I though was just great. Was super romantic too. Fits in the list of "best movie ever made" of which I have a lot as anyone who knows me can tell you.
The soundtrack by the way is just awesome, Nancy Wilson is great and of course they have my just favorite song in the world, Long Ride Home by Patty Griffin. See the official site for a sampling.
Others in this genre include Say Anything, Green Card, The Princess Bride, Field of Dreams, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Pretty Woman, Crazy/Beautiful, Jerry McGuire, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind amongst others. And yes, I don't know the genre is exactly.
