The Best Romantic Comedies of All Time, in a Comprehensive List

Being someone who works from home, I am constantly on the look out for good tv to play in the background while I edit, email clients, or burn discs/USB's. Usually this translates into a marathon tv series (Medium, Grey's Anatomy, Big Love, & The Mindy Project have all served that purpose this year) but my preference is really for a good romantic comedy. I like modern comedies just fine, but my true preference is for early 90's Nora Ephrom/Rob Reiner type flicks. Since I'm always on the look out for films I've forgotten about, and new ones that fit my taste and the genre I've invented, I decided to start working on a list.
