Amy Schumer Loves the Same Romantic Comedies as You

Jul 15 2015 - 2:20pm

While of course you're not the only one with a penchant for romantic comedies, you might be surprised at which ones the cast of Trainwreck [1] loves. We caught up with Amy Schumer, director Judd Apatow, and more cast members at a press day, and given that their new movie is a (rather raunchy) romantic comedy, we had to ask which movies in the genre they love the most. Guess who can't get enough of Ryan Reynolds [2] in Just Friends . . .

Amy Schumer: You've Got Mail

"Obviously I'm a big Meg Ryan [3] fan," Schumer said, citing Sleepless in Seattle as another one of her go-to romantic comedies.

Judd Apatow: Say Anything . . .

Apatow related to Cameron Crowe's 1989 teen romance on a very personal level. "That's kind of how I experienced those emotions," he said of Lloyd Dobler's relationship with Diane Court.

Mike Birbiglia: Jerry Maguire

"Jerry Maguire is one of the best romantic comedies in the last 20 years," Birbiglia said. He counts it among the likes of Woody Allen [4]'s classic Annie Hall and 1987's Broadcast News.

Colin Quinn: Just Friends

Quinn called Just Friends "the most underrated movie — it's f*cking hilarious!" He even defends it in social situations: "Everyone is like 'Oh, this movie sucks' and I'm like 'No, you suck.'"

Vanessa Bayer: Beaches

Bayer would name one and only one movie: 1988's Beaches, starring Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey. "I'm going to stick to it," she said. "I love Beaches."
