More romantic movie dialogues


1. Never Been Kissed
Josie: That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time.


2. 13 Going On 30
Jenna:
You want to know a secret?
Matt: Yeah.
Jenna: You are the sweetest guy I have ever met.



3. Runaway Bride
Ike: Look, I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me.



4. As Good As It Gets
Melvin (to Carol): I might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows you're the greatest woman on earth. I might be the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing that you do, and how you are with Spencer, "Spence," and in every single thought that you have, and how you say what you mean, and how you almost always mean something that's all about being straight and good. I think most people miss that about you, and I watch them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food, and clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive. And the fact that I get it makes me feel good, about me.


5. Sleepless In Seattle
Dr. Marcia: Tell me what was so special about your wife?
Sam: Well, how long is your program?... Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were suppose to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.

Without condition

When I let my thoughts wander a bit, a question that comes to my mind is that is there anything called true love. Many would say there isn't because love is always conditional. At first they do seem to be right. After all children always expect support from their parents. Younger siblings always want to be looked after by their elder brothers and sisters. Parents too hope that their kids on growing up will take care of them in old age. Even in our search for a life partner we tend to confine ourselves to a space defined by the qualities we desire for in a spouse.

Agreed that we expect certain conditions to be fulfilled. But what happens when they are not met to our satisfaction? Or when we happen to encounter in addition particular attributes, good or bad, which were unanticipated?

We don't start hating our children when they do not come first in their class. We might fight with our siblings but that does not mean everything is lost. We make up after those arguments. Your fiancee might act silly occasionally but you don't stop loving her. Your would-be might be a few cities apart but that does not diminish your feelings.

In my opinion, while it may be circumstances and needs which bring two people together but what keeps them truly entwined are selfless emotions unbound by any conditions.
