"You had me at hello..." Favorite quotes from my favorite romantic movies...
85Unforgettable movies.... Unforgettable lines...
Though I'm mostly a horror, suspense and action movie kinda gal... But then again, I'm still a girl so there's a part of me that still longs for sappy love stories with kick ass (mush infested) lines....
Here are just some excerpts from my fave chic flicks:
Sex and the city:
"Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours."
Jerry Maguire
"Don't cry at the beginning of the date. Cry at the end of the date like I do."
"You complete me...." "Shut up! Shut up.... You had me at hello..."
"On the surface, everything seems fine. I've got this great guy. And he loves my kid. And he sure does like me a lot. And I can't live like that. It's not the way I'm built."
City of Angels
Seth: You're a good doctor, I can feel it.
Maggie: That's pretty flimsy proof.
Seth: Close your eyes... what am I doing?
Maggie: You're touching me.
Seth: How do you know?
Maggie: I can feel it!
Seth: You should learn to use that more often.
"Never date a guy who knows more about your vagina than you do."
Seth: "I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it..."
Cruel Intentions
Everybody loves me, and I intend to keep that way.
People shouldn't experience the act of love until they are in love.
Sebastian: Why can't we be together?
Annette: You wanna know why? Because I don't trust myself with you.
Kathryn: I think that I'll go and take my new car for a ride.
Sebastian: No, the only thing you'll be riding is me.
Annette Hargrove: I'm impressed.
Sebastian Valmont: Well, I'm in love.
Eat me, Sebastian. It's okay for guys like you and Court to fuck everyone but when I do it, I get dumped for innocent little twits like Cecile. Do you think I relish the fact that I have to act like Mary Sunshine 24/7 to be considered a lady? I am the Marcia fucking Brady of the Upper East Side, and sometimes I want to kill myself. So there's your psychoanalysis, Dr. Freud. Now are you in, or are you out?
Ever after
Henry: "I offered you the world and at the first test of honor I betrayed your trust."
Danielle: "You are the only mother I have ever known. Was there a time, even in its smallest measurement, that you loved me at all? "
Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: "How can anyone love a pebble in their shoe?"
Danielle: "A bird may love a fish, signore, but where will they live? "
Leonardo da Vinci: "Then I shall have to make you wings."
"I kneel before you not as a prince but as a man inlove..."
Forrest Gump
"I may not be a smart man. But I know what love is."
"Mama always said life was like a box a chocolates, never know what you're gonna get."
Mouline Rouge
Christian: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
My bestfriend's Wedding
Michael... I love you. I've loved you for nine years, I've just been too arrogant and scared to realize it, and... well, now I'm just scared. So, I realize this comes at a very inopportune time but I really have this gigantic favor to ask of you. Choose me. Marry me. Let me make you happy. Oh, that sounds like three favors, doesn't it?
Julianne: "I'm pond scum. Well, lower actually. I'm like the fungus that feeds on pond scum."
Michael: "Lower. The pus that infects the mucus that cruds up the fungus that feeds on the pond scum. On the other hand, thank you for loving me that much, that way. It's pretty flattering."
Julianne: "Except it makes me fungus."
Michael O'Neill: Kimmy says if you love someone you say it, you say it right then, out loud. Otherwise the moment just... Julianne Potter: Passes you by... Michael O'Neill: Passes you by...
My Girl
"I used to like to play with my Ken and Barbie dolls. Ken was my favorite. Then one Christmas I got them a camper and all they wanted to do was hang out in it by themselves. So I wasn't too upset when they took that wrong turn and went over the cliff. "
(The poem Vada dedicated to Thomas J)
Weeping willow with your tears running down / why do you always weep and frown? / Is it because he left you one day? / Is it because he could not stay? / He found shelter in your shade / You thought his laughter would never fade. / On your branches, he would swing / Do you long for the happiness that day would bring? / Weeping willow, stop your tears / for there is something to calm your fears; / If you think death has ripped you forever apart / I know he'll always be in your heart. (got me in tears... seriously)
Thomas J. Sennett: Vada?
Vada Sultenfuss: Yeah?
Thomas J. Sennett: Would you think of me?
Vada Sultenfuss: For what?
Thomas J. Sennett: Well, if you don't get to marry Mr. Bixler.
Vada Sultenfuss: I guess.
Notting Hill
Anna Scott: "You know what they say about men with big feet."
William Thacker: "No, I don't, actually. What's that?"
Anna Scott: "Big feet...big shoes."
" I am just a girl standing in front of a boy wanting for him to love her."
Keziah: "No thanks, I'm a fruitarian."
Max: "I didn't realize that."
William: "And, ahm: what exactly is a fruitarian?"
Keziah: "We believe that fruits and vegetables have feeling so we think cooking is cruel. We only eat things that have actually fallen off a tree or bush - that are, in fact, dead already."
William: "Right. Right. Interesting stuff. So, these carrots..."
Keziah: "Have been murdered, yes."
William: "Murdered? Poor carrots. How beastly!"
Sleepless in Seattle
"Destiny is something we've invented because we can't stand the fact that everything that happens is accidental."
10 things I hate about you
(Poem by Kat Stratford)
I hate the way you talk to me / And the way you cut your hair. / I hate the way you drive my car. / I hate it when you stare. / I hate your big dumb combat boots / And the way you read my mind. / I hate you so much it makes me sick -- / It even makes me rhyme. / I hate the way you're always right. / I hate it when you lie. / I hate it when you make me laugh -- / Even worse when you make me cry. / I hate it that you're not around / And the fact that you didn't call. / But mostly I hate the way / I don't hate you -- / Not even close, not even a little bit, not any at all.
A cinderella story
"Waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought, useless and disappointing. "
Fiona: Is this the Norwegian Salmon that I asked for? Because I need my omega 3s.
Sam: Only the Best.
Fiona: Mmm. I can tell. You know it costs a fortune to fly that stuff in from Norwegia.
Austin: Do you believe in love at first sight?
Sam: I'll let you know.
Austin:How can I have seen you before, but not know who you are now?" Sam: "Maybe you were looking but you weren't really seeing."
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Li Mu Bai: I would rather be a ghost drifting by your side as a condemned soul than enter heaven without you... because of your love, I will never be a lonely spirit
Star Wars Episode 2
From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again... I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you- I can't breath. I'm haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating... hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me... what can I do?- I will do anything you ask.
[uncomfortable pause] if you are suffering as much as I am, PLEASE, tell me...
[about Amidala] Just being around her again is... intoxicating.
Lolita
"She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita. Light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo... Lee... Ta. "
"A normal man, given a group photograph of school girls and asked to point out the loveliest one, will not necessarily choose the nymphet among them."
"I was a daisy fresh girl and look what you've done to me."
"It was like sitting beside the little ghost of a person I just killed..."
THE BACHELOR (1999)
Priest: It's a wonderful thing, as time goes by, to be with someone who looks into your face, when you've gotten old, and still sees what you think you look like.
Jimmie's unforgettable proposal to Ann: You win....

Nice! Funny! Outragous! You picked 6 of my favorite movies. Though I didn't remember any of the lines till now. Thanks for the fond memories.
haha. this is a cute hub. I love romantic movies, Good choices here.
Tayler!
I only remebers the "notting hill" & "forest gump" lines...those were vulgar already.
Most specially the nothing hill quote, i often use that when courting a girl ;)
Yes, i just make it in a humorous way, though im sounded a bit wussy when i used that as a punch line, "im just a man setting in front of a girl asking for her to love him".
The gurl laugh out loud, 'coz she knew for a guy like me dont really mean for it. But it was really that effective, the gurl had fallen me.
The Wedding Date
Nick Mercer: I'd rather fight with you than make love with anyone else.
Nick Mercer: The hardest thing is loving someone and then having the courage to let them love you back.
Kat Ellis: You know what pisses me off? I've been spilling my guts all weekend and I don't know a thing about you.
Nick Mercer: [pause] I'm allergic to fabric softener. I majored in comparative literature at Brown. I hate anchovies. And I think I'd miss you even if we never met.

Fun hub! I like all reminders of the role movies play in our society, this a bunch of good ones. One of my favs from "As Good as it Gets" Jack Nicholson to Helen Hunt..."You make me want to be a better man." may not sound like much out of context, but in the movie, it's very moving.
