I adore this movie! I can quote huge sections verbatim so picking only one favorite is impossible, but the
SMACK!
‘Snap out of it!’
is certainly a top contender.

I think the funniest part of the movie are the parents; the dad’s “Shh! Say no more!”, the mom’s world-weary “I just want you to know, you’re going to die.”

*happy sigh*
I think I have to go find it on TV and watch again, now.

I’ve never seen this movie. How could that be? Huh.

One of my favorite movie speeches, besides the Kevin Costner one in Bull Durham which can’t really be beat, is in The Notebook when Noah is telling Ally that it’s not going to be easy.
“So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… everyday.”

Why is it guys like that only exist in fiction?

Moonstruck is one of the most romantic movies of all time, and one of the smartest. I love the contrast of Loretta and Ronny with Loretta’s parents. I think my favorite moment of the whole movie might be in that first scene when she fixes him the steak (the way she thinks he should eat it rather than the way he wants it) and hears about his history before telling him, “You’re a wolf.” The look on Ronny’s face and the way he scratches at his stubble gets me. Every. Time.

Thanks for the reminder about Brenda’s auction, so I can put in my bids.

I love that ending, as well. It was like being home, lol. It’s A Wonderful Life is like that. Most of the movie involves, not just George and Mary but everyone in their lives that they have touched and who have been touched by them.

50 First Dates has a great ending on a boat with Drew Barrymore’s character surrounded by all the people who love her, especially Adam Sandler’s character who makes sure all her days are reminders that she’s loved.

My favorite love declarations in books involve big ball scenes with a healthy smattering of groveling and if adorable orphans are thrown into the mix – it’s a keeper for me.

I think one of the reasons I (like so many others) love weddings is due to that warm fuzzy feeling of watching two people stand before all their friends and family and declare their love for one another. Like weddings, happy endings in love stories are often about new beginnings:)

Honestly, I’m blanking on movie ending scenes right now. But I have entered my bids in Brenda Novak’s on-line auction and have my fingers crossed that she meets her goal of $300,000!
