So, Valentine's Day is on Monday. And maybe this is a secret, or maybe it's not, but I'm a HUGE sap, so to gear up to the day where I eat a litre of ice cream and cry along with The Notebook (okay, so I only did this once, I swear!), I thought that I'd share some of my favourite romantic/lovey/mushy quotes from movies and television. (Including one

When Harry Met Sally! One of my all time favorites. I'd never think to pair them together, but Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal had such great chemistry. Good quote! :D

Oh, I know, right? In fact, if I'd never seen the flick, I would probably never put them together, but yeah, GREAT chemistry. And they just don't make romantic comedies like that anymore, it's kind of a shame, huh?

Love Chasing Amy! And I remember the guy I had a crush on in high school recited this as a monologue during drama class. Made me like him more!

And #8 brings back memories! Esp. that Faith Hill song from the movie "Remember Me This Way." Ha!

I can't say that I blame you. :) I think that Chasing Amy has some of the best "modern" monologues.

Oh goodness, how much i loved that Spike quote. He was so right. Also, YES on the Ryan Gosling love. And the jersey girl quote. Pretty much on everything. :D

Pretty movie: Frankie and Johnny. With pacino and pfeiffer.

That Spike quote is total love, I know! (Both literal and figurative.)

OOH. I haven't seen Frankie and Johnny in YEARS. I should really re-watch it!

I'm very anti-Valentines, but this was lovely!!!!

I used to be anti-Valentine's (and, well, yeah I disapprove of the rampant consumerism that guilts the general public into feeling pressured to showing grand displays of affection based purely on a date on a calendar, or worse yet, shaming and shunning people who are without a significant other and therefore feel they can't participate in such a "holiday", but I digress), but I love me some sappy movies, so...

I mean, I just CAN'T watch something like this and not melt into a puddle of goo. HUGE, GIANT, SAP. :)

[folie_lex]

I'm all about the romance! I'm very pro sappy movies and I dare you to find anyone who Swoons and Aw-s and Oh-s while watching them as much as I do, so totally with you on that. I simply refuse to to make the 14th of Feb a big deal about simply that notion because of all your above reasons ;D

[brin_bailey]

Hee. After I hit post, I was all, "Oh, I probably shouldn't have made it sound like Valentine's Day and being all romantic are mutually exclusive." I totally get what you're saying. I'm such a dope sometimes. :)
