Valentine’s Day as a thing seems to be gathering momentum. Restaurants offer set menus, TV stations adjust their programming to appeal to all the lovers out there and any rom-com worth it’s salt seems to schedule a February 14th premiere.
If you’re heartily sick of the sight of overpriced stuffed toys with tacky red satin hearts, perhaps you should settle down with a non-rom-com on the day. Here are some ideas – let me know if you have any other suggestions:
- Nom-com – Tampopo
- Vom-com – Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life (just for the Mr Creosote sketch)
- Bomb-com – based on Jim Schembri’s review, I guess that would have to be A Few Best Men
- Dom-com – Exit to Eden (haven’t actually seen this one either, but the wiki page suggests there might be some BDSM…)
- Pom-com – Well, I’m going to go with Withnail and I for this, but there are so many options for non-romantic English comedies
- Prom-com – Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion
- Somm-com – Sideways
