Whoops, let’s add one to the Best of the Rest list: Down With Love, easily the best romantic comedy of the year. (I thought Intolerable Cruelty suffered from being written by people who were not the Coen brothers, despite being a fun trifle.) Witty and charming and full of banter, plus it took itself (and its genre) exactly seriously enough.
Addendum: 2003

Gonna have to beg to differ, specifically because of the ending. It got too baroque for me.
I really wanted to like it, too.
I know; I'm about the only person who was a big fan of this one. I think I have an unfortunate weakness for banter.
Not true that you are the only big fan -- I really enjoyed it, and my wife loved it.
Bought the DVD for the girlfriend -- and I wanted to like it far more than I did. Overpraised, and not nearly enough laughter.
