Romantic Comedies?

Tonight I watched the movie "you've got mail" with Meg Ryan (one of my favorite actresses) and Tom Hanks (another one of my favorite actors) and it was a very good movie. I found myself analyzing why i watch romantic comedies. Often i get teased for my attraction to them. Its not that I am on the edge of my seat while watching them or that im even excited about the storyline. I mean they are all basically the same. But i love the way romantic comedies always work out. It gives me hope that somewhere in the world people are actually falling in love like that. Such movies always have the ideal love story and im a sap for it. I mean there are those romantic comedies that dont have the ideal ending like "500 days of summer" but they are still amazing. and they make me happy. so that is the reason i like watching romantic comedies
