102. Ghost, Pride and Prejudice, Shakespeare in Love, and Corinna, Corinna

They all combine humor with romance.

The dialogue in Pride and Prejudice (Keira Knightly) when Elizabeth's cousin visits looking for a wife is hilarious. Dialogue throughout the film carries the story.

Ghost - The theme that love transcends death is romantic in itself. Whoop Goldberg is priceless in providing the humor.

Corinna, Corinna - Whoop Goldberg again, this time as a woman in love. Sensitive themes of death and interracial relationship balanced with humor.

Shakespeare in Love - Witty, imaginative, and a touching love story.
