Oh yes! Completely forgot about "Barefoot in the Park"; definitely one of my favourites too. Also got a copy of the original soundtrack LP--the Neal Hefti score is a real gem.

As soon as I heard the title song, I knew I'd like the movie, the score is great I agree.
I also forgot:
Touch of Pink
The Broken Hearts Club

Stardust
I don't think that's a romantic comedy...
Anyway, romantic comedies are usually my least favorite type of films, but I have seen one or two that I enjoy.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Knocked Up
Norbit (I thought it was just a comedy, but it's listed as this genre on Amazon)
Much Ado About Nothing (Kind of equals out with Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh on one side and Keanu Reeves on the other)
Ever After: A Cinderella Story
Pride & Prejudice (although I suppose the one I'm referring to's a mini-series, not a movie...)
27 Dresses (Mostly a blah movie, but with several good parts)

I can't believe I forgot Billy Wilder's Avanti! It's absolutely hilarious and very, very sweet.

Apparently you totally missed Robert DeNiro's role. As the ghost brothers were pretty funny. I found Tristan and Yvaine pretty funny as well. Goat boy....the list goes on with the times I laughed in that movie. IMO, it is a true romantic comedy.

It is not a classic romantic comedy. It is a fantasy movie with romantic elements, but the genre of the Romantic Comedy is actually something different. But then again the definition of a movie genre is very difficult to create.

I found it romantic and funny and sitting here nitpicking people's opinion on what is a romantic comedy is ridiculous. BTW, both IMDB and Amazon list "Comedy" in the genre.
But really, let's get back to the actual topic.
