Most Romantic Movie Moments

[darklinensuit]

I just rented Something's Got To Give & am so impressed by Diane Keaton. (Actually, I haven't finished watching it yet. I rented four movies since I've been stuck inside from oral surgery last week & lots of meds.) Anyway, this film, the drugs, and dissention's many fetching references to Lynne Cheney's romantic prose ( :laugh: ) have me wondering, what are your favorite romantic movie scenes?

- Jake

[hayley]

Diane Keaton was absolutely stunning in Something's Gotta Give- wasn't a fan of the film itself particularly, but she was stunning.

I'm a SUCKER for romantic movies, especially cheesy terrible ones. A few off the top of my head that I loooove-

-Bridget Jones. I must confess that I love watching her run after him in her undies in the snow. And that's a fabulous movie kiss.
-Speaking of Colin Firth. Pride & Prejudice. Anything with him smoldering. Swoon.
-Lost in Translation. I consider the final scene between Bill & Scarlett to be one of the most romantic, beautiful things I've ever seen on film.
-Return to Me w/ David Duchovny & Minnie Driver. No particular moment or scene. I just think it's a wonderful, funny, romantic film. It's charm is completely underrated.
-Sliding Doors. Her & John Hannah's first kiss is something I've always just loved.
-Everything about You've Got Mail, even though it's really a terrible and boring film. I LOVE IT and I don't care.
-Sense and Sensibility- Hugh's speech/proposal to Emma is just magnificent. I bawl like a child every single damned time.
-Moulin Rouge- I like the first "Come What May" (not the final climax version) so, so much.
-Emma- I love Gwyneth & Jeremy Northam's scene together where they tell one another how they feel. (I'm a sucker for Jane Austen, what can I say?)
-Amelie... I love her little fantasy about him picking up her baking ingredients. It's silly for me to like it best, I just do :)
-Ghost World... some people think it's weird, but I get all mushy and upset and despondent because of the scene when Thora Birch & Steve Buscemi get it on (how romantic of me to say it that way!)
-I love Secretary. I think it's one of the sweetest, most engaging romantic films I've ever seen. Most people don't get it when I call it romantic or a great love story- but it is :) I love when he comes to get her from his office and makes her drink like a frappucino to regain her strength... lol
-The buildup, first kiss, and love scene in Cold Mountain are unbelievable. I wasn't a fan of the movie as a whole, HATED the book, but the two of them... it was so completely compelling.

Oh, and a couple of TERRIBLE ones- I thoroughly enjoyed the Notebook (TERRIBLE book, TERRIBLE film, but still), IQ with Meg Ryan & Tim Robbins, and then a terrible film with Jude Law called Music From Another Room or something like that- with a kiss with him and Gretchen Mol. She's a terrible actress, the movie is horrible, but the kiss was wonderful. I mean, it was bordering on completely terrible- they even play Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply" and I STILL loved it.

Told you I was a sucker for the romantic movies!

I haven't seen 95% of the movies you listed, but I did like Emma. The two times I was forced to sit through Sleepless In Seattle on TV I fell asleep before it could really hurt me. ;)

- Jake

[hayley]

I HATE Sleepless in Seattle. I've been told I'm supposed to turn in my womanhood card for not liking it, but I just don't. I can't help it!!

I had to go back to reread your original post because I was sure you had listed it. But no, it was You've Got Mail, the other insomnia cure. :)

- Jake

[hayley]

They're pretty much the same movie, just e-mail instead of letters, or whatever the hell they had in Sleepless in Seattle! So who knows why I love one and hate the other ?

And are you split on Joe Vs. The Volcano? I haven't seen that one either. The whole Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan thing has passed me by.

- Jake

[hayley]

I haven't seen it in a long time. I remember liking it but not being sure why on earth I DID like it.

I did see The Terminal last weekend. I heart Tom Hanks, but Meg... meh.

I still can't look at Tom without thinking Buffy & Hildegarde. I think he's overrated.
I love Meg in When Harry Met Sally, though.

- Jake

[jadegypsy]

Hard to think of them here but... and yes some are very sappy...

Moulin Rouge: The part where they are on the roof sing "Your Song" and the other songs...

Forest Gump: "This is my Jenny..."

Star Wars: "I Love you...I know"

Titanic: yeah I know gag...but i do love the Irish Jig sceen.

As Good as it Gets: You make me want to be a better man... great line there.

Pretty Woman: He comes riding up in a white limo at the end...priceless.

Spiderman: Best kiss award...

Fabulous Baker Boys: Piano Sceene

I haven't seen Sleepless in Seattle so no comment there, and I didn't care for You've got Mail...

[darklinensuit]

Spiderman: Best kiss award...

Explain this to me. I never got the big deal. So he's upside-down & they're wet. I'm not trying to insult your taste, obviously most people agree with you, judging by what a big deal the sequel makes about that kiss. Just trying to understand. (Maybe it's just that I didn't like Kirsten Dunst much in the first one. :shrug: )

- Jake

[sparky]

Moulin Rouge: The part where they are on the roof sing "Your Song" and the other songs...


This really got me, and I am not exactly a sucker for romantic movies. I bawled like a baby through half that film. Helped I guess, that I was hopelessly, idiotically in love at the time(the object of said affection sitting next to me during the movie). I have the dvd, and refuse to watch it again. Just can't put myself through it.

[dissention]

I just rented Something's Got To Give & am so impressed by Diane Keaton. (Actually, I haven't finished watching it yet. I rented four movies since I've been stuck inside from oral surgery last week & lots of meds.) Anyway, this film, the drugs, and dissention's many fetching references to Lynne Cheney's romantic prose ( :laugh: ) have me wondering, what are your favorite romantic movie scenes?

- Jake

:laugh:

I'd just die to see a PBS special on "Sisters." I envision a butch Sigourney Weaver sharing her bed with a prissy Ellen, speaking of her "ivory pillows" in a breathless voice with just the smallest hint of lust. Lynne Cheney could play the chief prostitute, while Oily Dick can play the fat chick in the wagon who's dying of syph. :laugh: I see an Emmy.

[dissention]

-Bridget Jones. I must confess that I love watching her run after him in her undies in the snow. And that's a fabulous movie kiss.

-I love Secretary. I think it's one of the sweetest, most engaging romantic films I've ever seen. Most people don't get it when I call it romantic or a great love story- but it is :) I love when he comes to get her from his office and makes her drink like a frappucino to regain her strength... lol

LOVE both of those movies!!!!!

Secretary rocked. I love James Spader and Lesley Ann Warren ahs always been a favorite of mine in anything, especially in Clue and Victor Victoria. Maggie Gyllenhal should've won an award for that movie, too.

And Bridge Jones cracks me up everytime. The sequel comes out in November. :xoxo:

Anything with Diane Keaton is fantastic, especially Baby Boomer. I thought her and Sam Shepherd made one of the best onscreen couples ever.

[dissention]

Fabulous Baker Boys: Piano Sceene

Mmmmmmm, Michelle Pfeiffer was sexy as hell in that flick. When she got up on the piano and sang Makin' Whoopi, I almost passed out. :nod:

[dissention]

I did see The Terminal last weekend. I heart Tom Hanks, but Meg... meh.

Check out In the Cut. Meg Ryan's first porn movie. :wavey:

I couldn't believe that Jennifer Jason Leigh and Mark Ruffalo actually signed on to be in that flick. They should leave it off their resumes.

[GardenStateGirlie]

Check out In the Cut. Meg Ryan's first porn movie. :wavey:

Hocake. Can I just say that when I finally realized what the movie was referencing, I gave a big old WTF?!? Glad I didn't pay to see that one.

[GardenStateGirlie]

Possession starring Gwenyth Paltrow, Jeremy Northam, Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Ehle. It's just a great film to begin with but when Ash and Christabel FINALLY meet each other at the train station.... *le sigh*....

[hayley]

I was gonna mention Possession but I thought my list was already way, way, way too long !

I think Jeremy Northam & Jennifer Ehle's love scene in that film is breathtaking.

[CarneVaca]

Dudes, you're all wrong.

The quintessential love scene of all time is when Elizabeth Shue gives Nick Cage the booze flask in Leaving Las Vegas.

Unconditional love. Even if it means you're gonna die.

[GypsySorcerer]

-The Way We Were: Streisand brushing the hair out of Redford's forehead as they say goodbye one last time

-As Good as it Gets: Besides the aforementioned "You make me want to be a better man" scene, Melvin's monologue convincing Carol to stay with him....then his forgetting to step over the crack on the sidewalk.

-Forrest Gump: When Forrest gives her his Medal of Honor

[dissention]

Dudes, you're all wrong.

That's a real Carne thing to say. :laugh:

That was a great flick, albeit a very depressing one. Shue is a beauty, too bad she doesn't make more movies.

[dissention]

Hocake. Can I just say that when I finally realized what the movie was referencing, I gave a big old WTF?!? Glad I didn't pay to see that one.

It blew chunks, which was a shame because the book was fantastic. Meg Ryan is one of the worst actresses ever. And the worst actor award goes to Mark Ruffalo's mustache.

[dissention]

-The Way We Were: Streisand brushing the hair out of Redford's forehead as they say goodbye one last time

:laugh: Have you ever seen Boys on the Side? I watched it last night and there was a scene where Whoopi and Mary Louise Parker are watching it and Whoopi's just laughing hysterically during that AWFUL scene in The Way We Were. :laugh:

[Villavic]

I HATE Sleepless in Seattle. I've been told I'm supposed to turn in my womanhood card for not liking it, but I just don't. I can't help it!!

They always told me about this movie as a remake of the Cary Grant /Deborah Kerr movie (An affair to remember, I think). But it is not.
Anyway I was dissapointed about SIS. I expected something better

[Villavic]

- Moonstruck. I LOVE CHER in this movie. IT has many romantic moments.
- Pretty Woman. Another fave. The night in San Francisco, she in red dress, the jet, the opera, It's a Cinderalla story but beautiful
- Gone with the Wind. The kiss when Rett leaves Scarlett after leaving Atlanta
- Cousins. I loved Isabella Rossellini in this movie.

[DrummerDeanna]

Well to avoid some listed above - which I like a lot of:

-The end of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves...where Marian says something like, "You came for me, you're alive!" and Robin says, "I would die for you" and they kiss...it so gets to me every time...I love it

-The end of The Other Sister...so cute!

-Where the Heart is - when she drives across the country to tell Forney she loves him....and he's like, "there could never be anything better than you" or something...

-Even though many hate this film- the end of The Mirror Has Two Faces where Jeff Bridges finally gets his head out of his ass and realizes he loves Barb - and he goes to her place in the very early morning...and they're dancing/kissing in the street..I love that....

[Villavic]

I just saw "Under the Tuscan Sun" with Diane Lane. Very romantic, specially the poland guy with the italian girl, they have many romantic scenes.

[BTFLCHLD]

Dogfight W/ River Phoenix Lily Taylor

Bigstreet W/ Henry Fonda Lucille Ball

[amber]

I haven't seen it in a long time. I remember liking it but not being sure why on earth I DID like it.

I did see The Terminal last weekend. I heart Tom Hanks, but Meg... meh.
Meg, Meh????! She's soooo cute, like a little kitten...Did you see French Kiss? Did you notice how Stevie thanked Meg Ryan in her notes on TISL? Sorry, it's just hard to imagine not liking MR....

Anyway, my movie is not a romantic movie but is my favorite movie and still has romantic moments....
All About Eve, when Gary Merril, as Bette Davis' boyfriend, resists the come ons of Eve, the young user, and even though Bette Davis has previously thrown horrible (and fabulous) jealous tirades, he gives a big speech about why he loves HER, diva behavior and all, and then they get married. :xoxo:

[CarneVaca]

That's a real Carne thing to say. :laugh:

That scene still brings a tear to my cynical eye. The acceptance that it symbolizes is truly profound. A beautiful moment.

****, you're a real masochist. You should track down a copy of Dogville. ;) I only saw it once, it isn't something I could watch again, even if the beautiful Elisabeth Shue is in it. You know how there are just certain movies that have such an effect on you that you can't watch it twice? That was that kind of movie for me. It hit too close to home considering my family is full of drunks.

[hayley]

Meg, Meh????! She's soooo cute, like a little kitten...Did you see French Kiss? Did you notice how Stevie thanked Meg Ryan in her notes on TISL? Sorry, it's just hard to imagine not liking MR....

Meg Ryan is someone that you either love or hate, why is it so hard to imagine not liking her? Her cuteness is gross to me, and it's become embarassing to watch her go from trying to play cute way past the time when she should've stopped, and then gone to something wildly stupid like doing "In the Cut" to show her edge. It reeks of desperation and it's gross!

I liked it in moderation- I like IQ & You've Got Mail, French Kiss is okay- but it just gets to a point of sheer annoyance.

Seeing her full-frontal in "In the Cut" was gross. I don't think I've recovered yet. :o

I haven't seen that...why is it gross? And I agree that it's hard to see Meg, uh, not embracing what should, perhaps, be a change in the tone of her roles...but I think her physicality limits her in that, unfortunately. Cause even as she gets older and maybe not so cute, she still basically has "cute face"...anyway, i hope she can do it more gracefully...

The whole movie was just a smut-fest and made you want to take a shower after watching it. The nudity came off as more of an act of desperation to save her career than anything else and it backfired completely. Though the nudity can't be totally blamed (Mark Ruffalo ran around bare ass throughout the whole thing, too, and his career is on fire as of late), a lot of it had to do with her bad acting in it and the overall badness of the whole shebang. It was just bad. :laugh: Read the book, don't see the movie. The movie is just porn with actual graphic closeups of oral sex. :eek:

He's overseas. ;)

Dogville should be right up your alley, I'm actually surprised you haven't seen it yet. A lot of the desperation amongst the characters in that movie reminded me of Leaving Las Vegas. I'm not sure if it's out on video in the States yet, I got my copy from South Korea.

[dissention]

Whoah! :shocked: It seems like things i would normally like, but the way you say it is...no. :distress: darn!

The only reason to see it would be for Kevin Bacon, and he's only in it for ten minutes. Or, I guess, if you want to see Mark Ruffalo's ruffalo. :laugh:

[CarneVaca]

Read the book, don't see the movie. The movie is just porn with actual graphic closeups of oral sex. :eek:

You say don't see the movie and justify that recommendation with the graphic oral-sex scenes!!??

I don't know what "Sisters" is, but I've never been a huge Sigourney fan. I do think she has one of the worst names this side of Ima Hogg. :distress:

Forrest didn't do it for me, but I liked As Good As It Gets. Other than the last scene, which bored me (just like the last scene in Something's Gotta Give).

I've never seen TWWW, but that scene is famous.

Surprised nobody mentioned Love Story, Casablanca, Gone With The Wind, Wuthering Heights, or Romeo And Juliet. (I've only seen GWTW and WH, but didn't care for the latter.)

I think I'm the only person who was not wowed by Cher in Moonstruck. The script was okay, but it didn't seem lik a very hard part to play, IMO.
Pretty Woman bored me. I'm not a big Gere fan.
Never saw Cousins.

I used to watch that practically every day when I was 12. I had such a thing for Kevin Costner. When I'd get to that part, I'd rewind over and over. Then, I'd watch the Bryan Adams video multiple times. :laugh:

Summary Here... (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0256276/plotsummary)

It's just a really amazing film. I saw it in the movies when it came out and I bought it on DVD because I loved it so much.

You are not the only person who was not wowed by Cher in Moonstruck. However, i was a little wowed by her in Mask. And I was wowed overall by Witches of Eastwick.

All About Eve, when Gary Merril, as Bette Davis' boyfriend, resists the come ons of Eve, the young user, and even though Bette Davis has previously thrown horrible (and fabulous) jealous tirades, he gives a big speech about why he loves HER, diva behavior and all, and then they get married. :xoxo:
A

Sorry, but the idea of any guy having the hots for Bette in that film makes it science fiction for me. She's frighteningly un-sexy, IMO. Blast away.

Ever see that blonde on MadTV impersonate Meg Ryan? "I'm scrunching my nose up right now. This is what I do in every movie when I want to look cute." :lol:
But I do like her. Just wish she'd choose better films to make.

- Jake

[darklinensuit]

I haven't seen that...why is it gross? And I agree that it's hard to see Meg, uh, not embracing what should, perhaps, be a change in the tone of her roles...but I think her physicality limits her in that, unfortunately. Cause even as she gets older and maybe not so cute, she still basically has "cute face"...anyway, i hope she can do it more gracefully...
Amber

Sounds like that insulting Street Angel review about Stevie still trying to be the doe-eyed ingenue she no longer is. (Not my words.)

I don't know what "Sisters" is, but I've never been a huge Sigourney fan. I do think she has one of the worst names this side of Ima Hogg. :distress:

Duuuude...no, I don't watch Mad TV, sounds funny, though. I can't believe you dissed Bette. It's called charisma, watchability, brilliance, and wonderful scenery chewing. You know, like Stevie! Probably the same way some people think Stevie has a terrible voice. Also, BTW, that guy who played her BF, Gary Merrill, fell in love with her during filming and they were married for 10 years. :woohoo: That movie, as a whole, is very brilliantly written and acted, BTW. George Sanders is priceless. It got the most noms ever.(10?) for a long time. ok, movie geek moment over.

Sorry, I think the worst thing about Michelle Pfeiffer is her voice, so this movie did nothing but give me a headache. :distress:

- Jake

Well, it's already been established that you have no taste. :wavey:

I think she ahs a sexy voice. And a fab singing voice. :nod:

[darklinensuit]

The whole movie was just a smut-fest and made you want to take a shower after watching it. The nudity came off as more of an act of desperation to save her career than anything else and it backfired completely. Though the nudity can't be totally blamed (Mark Ruffalo ran around bare ass throughout the whole thing, too, and his career is on fire as of late), a lot of it had to do with her bad acting in it and the overall badness of the whole shebang. It was just bad. :laugh: Read the book, don't see the movie. The movie is just porn with actual graphic closeups of oral sex. :eek:

Does the book have pics? I'm a great admirer of art. ;)

- Jake

[dissention]

I was stunned to see a very suggestive framed photo of her straddling a chair in just a shirt (no pants) in a student's playroom. (He has the dad I wish I did at his age. :rolleyes: )

Never saw that one. But it's refreshing to know there are chick flicks that don't include Bette Midler or Meg Ryan in the casts. :nod:

I'll admit it's one of her better songs. The composer (forgot his name) came to an elementary school I used to teach at to talk to the kids, and he was pretty great. He wrote a song with the kids.

I used to watch that practically every day when I was 12. I had such a thing for Kevin Costner. When I'd get to that part, I'd rewind over and over. Then, I'd watch the Bryan Adams video multiple times. :laugh:

haha..that sounds like me when I first saw it (I can't remember how old I was)...I just bought the extended DVD version with 12 minutes unseen footage...haha...I've re-discovered the film if you will...I don't care that Costner has no English accent yet is supposed to be an Englishman (and Christian Slater's accent is horrid) - I still love the movie...I mostly remember watching and watching it...I didn't have a thing for Costner but I so wanted to be Maid Marrion...I thought she kicked ass...haha

Explain this to me. I never got the big deal. So he's upside-down & they're wet. I'm not trying to insult your taste, obviously most people agree with you, judging by what a big deal the sequel makes about that kiss. Just trying to understand. (Maybe it's just that I didn't like Kirsten Dunst much in the first one. )

Jake I'm not sure if I can explain this one to you, although I think the fact that it is raining and in part that the mask remains on is part of what I like. I will say though that although I like it as a movie kiss in real life I would perfer the guy right side up...

As for Moulin Rouge go rent it NOW, this moment, it is a great movie, although very sad at the end...But you do have to kinda like musicals.

Then again, I just watched Gothica and it was terrible, so who knows what's next.

You know, you might not be so much into the mask thing if you'd just kiss people with attractive faces. :cool:

Don't laugh... but i think the end of the original Parent Trap is totally romantic... they have been separated for 12 years... no contact, and their twin daughters bring them back together... they are having stew for dinner in the kitchen... maureen o'hara in bare feet and some random dress, brian keith looking early 1960s studly... and they look at each other... and start talking about things they miss about each other.... her hair pins mixed up with his fishing hooks, her nylons hanging in the bathroom, his razor being dull 'cause she used it to shave her legs... and he says it's no fun swearing cause she's not around to pretend she's shocked by it... and then they embrace... and she goes "oh Mitch, it's been so long!" and they kiss and then suddenly they are getting remarried...

"Streets of Fire," lip-synching the Marilyn Martin version of "Sorcerer." :p

"The Outsiders," and more recently, "Unfaithful," in which she earned an Oscar nomination.

Cheesy, I admit, but one of my favorite romantic movie moments is "You had me at hello" from "Jerry Maguire." Not so much the line itself, but that it melted the hearts of the men-bashing women in the room....

"It already came true" and the kiss over the birthday cake in "Sixteen Candles."

I adore "When Harry Met Sally." I like all the snippets of the elderly couples...

Somehow, you gotta see Diane Lane.

She's been in countless movies..I know I'll never see them all....but if I see her name attached to something....I see it...no question....

[Patti]

:nod: so much. If you haven't seen an old movie of hers called "Girl Most Likely To...." It's a black comedy (with Ed Asner!) and is just funny and good, plus, Stockard's the star. She goes from hideously ugly, then pretty after a car accident, then tries to get revenge on all the ***holes who were mean to her before, and ed asner is a detective....it's just weird and funny!
Amber

I remember that movie! I loved it. Stockard Channing is da bomb!

No Way! I can't believe someone's seen it - thats sooo good. I haven't seen it since early highschool, when my mom insisted it was "what we are watching right now" and i ended up being so glad. It was my introduction to Stockard (well, i'd seen grease, but didn't make the connection). And I was like "who is this enchantingly strange woman?" Dang, I'll have to go to the Video store and see if i can find it!

Are you talking about something like..."Act and look like a bad girl, slut it up, and the bad boy will fall in love with you?" But remember, Johnny T cleaned up and lettered in track for her...he changed into his geeky letterman sweater in the final scene, too. :laugh:
I, personally, can't get enough of Rizzo - or Stockard Channing in general - I just love her.
Amber

Well, the fact that anyone should change at all to get someone else to like them, kind of has a negative message. I know, I know, it's just a movie. :laugh:

[GypsySorcerer]

Somehow, you gotta see Diane Lane. She's incredibly...something...I actually recommend a movie that came out a couple years ago, Liev Schrieber and Viggo Mortenson are in it with her, anna paquin has a small role...I forgot the name :mad: I think moon is in the title...It's some of her best work - she is underused and underestimated, maybe cause she is so pretty, or she kind of has a weird subtle/intense quality...I googled her, the title is "A walk on the moon" but she was osc.nommed for Unfaithful...anywhoo...
Amber

Love that movie. (A Walk on the Moon)

true. But i have to change all the time to get people to like me...you know, pretend i'm nice and charming and that i actually want to talk to them... :D Just kidding, of course.

The sex scenes in A Walk on the Moon are like porn. Sheer, gorgeous porn. Big UP for Viggo porn!

Her performance in "Unfaithful" was completely amazing. Speaking of porn- big up for Diane Lane & Olivier Martinez porn!

[hayley]

I remember that movie! I loved it. Stockard Channing is da bomb!

The Stockard Channing movie I watch all the time is "Edie & Pen"- it has her and Scott Glenn and Jennifer Tilly, and it's really not a very good movie at ALL, but I watch it EVERY TIME it's on TV.

[dissention]

She was stunningly gorgeous in that movie. Puts Amanda Peet to shame, Jake. ;) I think Diane Lane will go down in history as one of the most beautiful movie stars of all time. I have an orgasm just looking at her. :laugh:

I saw that when it premiered on HBO seven or eight years ago and dug it. But Scott Glenn has a face that only a mother could love, he's scary looking. ;)

True, but porn like...not like porn...IMO. I mean, it's actually realistic and gorgeous, you're right. I much prefer my porn from real movies, cause the acting is soooo much better :p

UGH!!! I am right there with you Hayley!!!

That's weird!
One time my mom was outside the theatre where a haley mills movie was playing, and everyone was getting out, and people started crowding around her and being all "that's her!" thinking she was Hayley Mills. That's weird, too, cause my mom has dark hair. But her face did look waaaay almost exactly the same. and she was about the same age.

You know, you might not be so much into the mask thing if you'd just kiss people with attractive faces.

Jake there are no words...

[darklinensuit]

But it's the only film w/ a Stevie song in it, where it's actually an entire scene, not lost in the background. You have to see it! I have it on video. We can have a Gypsy 83/Night of 1000 Stevies/Streets of Fire party! :woohoo:

As long as the food's good, I'm there. :cool:

I'd never heard of it but when I lived in Chicago a gay co-worker raved about it to anyone who would listen. He said it had a big cult following.

Thanks. Looks like Sheryl Crow in that photo. Definitely not as attractive as Amanda Peet, IMO. To each his own.

No, dude...you have to see it from many different angles, and versions... must see live performance. and believe me, Amanda peet is on the short list, so i appreciate your point.and i think Sheryl is gorg - her and DL have a pronounced cheekbone commonality,and their both Aquarii, but otherwise, meh. And, by the way, streets of fire a must see - there is so much mad max, rick moranis as greedy agent, willem dafoe as evil nemesis, bad dialogue, diane lane, overproduced but lovely Sorcerer, fire, burned out cars, leather outfits, linda pearl,wait, Amy Madigan? both? :shocked: and, just, well, 1983,84,85 goodness to miss...Also directed by weird indie (80's version) director who's name escapes me at this moment...

Sheryl Crow?! You need glasses, doll. :nod: Here are some bigger pictures of her, she could make Amanda Peet blush:

At the end of Spinal Tap, where Nigel returns and says to David "Do a good show..." and David's like "Yer, awright". And then Nige joins them onstage :cool:

Believe it or not, I haven't seen Spinal Tap. I think that guy who played Lenny on Laverne & Shirley (married to Smallville's Martha Kent in real life) has a lot of talent.

And you need your head examined. She's not ugly, but I wouldn't give her a second look if I passed her on the street. Amanda Peet is a knockout. :shrug:

Grease, But after seeing it on TBS/TNT (The Braves Suck/Total Nuthin' Television) every-other-day I've grown to hate that movie...

Brian "Named after a Beach Boy" j.

I'll add Harold & Maude - the scene at the end where he cries & pleads that he loves her, & she says "That's wonderful, Harold. Now go love some more."
And the scene where she throws his gift in the water.

- Jake

[cliffdweller]

"It already came true" and the kiss over the birthday cake in "Sixteen Candles."

Oooooh, yes!! I forgot about this, great choice.

[cliffdweller]

I never saw it, but I know it was written by Joan Rivers. :eek:

- Jake

Ah! I knew there was a Joan Rivers connection with that movie! For some reason I thought it was her life story since she's always been very candid about her numerous plastic surgery jobs.

I love, love, LOOOOVE this movie. It never ceases to make me cry when I watch it. The Cat Stevens soundtrack makes it all the more poignant.

Call me a perv (many have), but it's seriously hot.

Anyone who's even mildly attracted to Viggo (and many are after LOTR) should see A Walk on the Moon !!

I'm more than MILDLY attracted to Viggo, so I'll definitely check this out! Thanks, H!
