  • Girl chases guy

    I can remember tons of movies where the guy's chasing after the girl in the end, usually romantic comedies.

    Wedding Singer
    When Harry Met Sally
    Never Been Kissed -- the girl stands still and the guy has to rush to her in time.
    Say it Isn't so
    Mallrats
    Pretty Woman (I think)
    Say Anything
    Jerry Maguire


    "Theres Something about Mary" has Cameron chasing after Ben at the end, so I guess that's one.


    Any others? Dramas or otherwise?

      SPOILERS, naturally.


      "Picture Perfect," although that's not a very good rom-com. Well, the structure is good; it's just not funny, which is a pretty big flaw.

      "The Truth About Cats and Dogs," sort of. I mean, he comes to her in the end, but only because she chases after him first and he's still too mad to get over himself at that moment.

      "Peggy Sue Got Married," in the sense that she's the one who kicked him out, but in the end she brings him back into her life.

      "Catch and Release" is a more recent one, though it's a weird genre mix and I wasn't so crazy about it.

      "Crossing Delancey" almost does it, but not really. She rushes to where he is, but in the end I think she still basically ends up the woo-ee.

      "Big" does it.

      Both "Bridget Jones" movies have a variation on it, although "The Edge of Reason," really goes all out with it.

      And, of course, "My Best Friend's Wedding."

      Those are all that come to mind at the moment.

          If I remember this right - Crocodile Dundee. He ends up stepping on people's shoulders and heads in a packed train terminal (or something) to make his way to the girl.
