I've never watched any one of them before (I don't like romance stuff, and I'm not a big fan of comedy), so I figure, why the hell not, I will try a movie to see if I like it or not.

Preferably on netflix/hulu, but I will take what I can get.

50 First Dates. It has Adam Sandler, but it's one of the only romcoms I can think of off the top of my head that I like. It's a Sandler movie, so it's got some goofiness, but overall I found it enjoyable.

I'm not sure there's such a thing as a great entry point. However, I will mention that I enjoyed How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey) and 10 Things I Hate About You (starring Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, that chick from Alex Mack, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt). What Women Want (starring Mel Gibson) was also a fairly fun film.

Oh, plus I liked Some Like It Hot, which I *believe* is a rom-com rather than just a normal comedy.

As for ones to avoid, The Sweetest Thing was absolutely awful. Great-looking cast, but absolutely terrible film.

Yes, as far as Sandler films go, it wasn't bad.

that's a great movie, but the only movie I can think of where the soundtrack is so abysmally bad that I almost hurts the movie itself

seriously, its like the worst movie soundtrack ever... the songs that play during the movie and the time of them are UGGGGHHHHHH

Well, 10 Things is more of a teen-themed film, but you can't beat that cast. It's like The Faculty of rom-coms: there's an unbelievable amount of talent you can't believe was in one movie and, for the most part, before they really got famous. (Well, JGL's star was already starting to shine and the Alex Mack chick's career had arguably peaked by then.)
