I had a great day compiling this list and getting nostalgic about all these movies and watching a ton of YouTube videos. You, however, will need to have some time on hand to enjoy this list.
In no particular order, for your viewing pleasure:
In no particular order, for your viewing pleasure:
1. "Nobody puts baby in a corner" - Dirty Dancing
The first video is a very poor print but the only one with the dialogue that I could find. Patrick Swayze walks in, pulls Baby out of the corner, mouths the now very famous dialogue, and then goes on stage to make a speech about how she has made him a better man.
For the actual dance sequence, here's another video, better quality. I can't tell you how much I love watching this sequence on just random days and how happy the song makes me. Jennifer Grey (Baby) dances like a dream, and of course there's Patrick Swayze, and do note the moment in the video when he jumps off the stage and proceeds to dance like a God. Need I say more?
2. "I carry your heart" - In Her Shoes
Randomly saw this movie on TV one day, and that's the first time I heard this poem. Unforgettable moment, she does read it very well. Somehow the only good video of this on youtube cannot be embedded.
3. "And my fear is..." - Stepmom
This has to be the greatest tearjerker ever written in cinematic history. It's definitely my favorite. And yes, never fails to make me cry. The mom who's dying, the stepmom-to-be who's scared, and how they reconcile with each other and their fates. Here they are discussing their daughter's wedding day in the future, when only one of them will be there with her.
4. "You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how" - Gone With The Wind
What a thing to say, and what better hero to say it, and what better heroine to say it to! ;)
5. Simba is born - Lion King
One of my very best childhood memories is watching this movie in the theater. Definitely a very special movie. The animation in this particular scene is very grand and awe - inspiring, in true Walt Disney tradition of old.
6. " You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain" - The Dark Knight
The movie that garnered a massive fan base and reached legendary status, starring probably the most loved villain on celluloid in the past decade.And what a fabulous scene. The stuff great superhero movies are made of.
7. "Take off your shirt" - Crazy, Stupid Love
In an equally hilarious and endearing scene, a drunk Emma Stone is determined to sleep with Ryan Gosling after finally breaking up with her not-worthy boyfriend. Of course, any scene where Ryan Gosling is told to take his shirt off was definitely going to come on to this list. Also, if you saw both the videos at the start of this list, you will immediately understand the Dirty Dancing reference :D
8. "I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her" - Notting Hill
A scene which always gets the audience rooting for Julia Roberts. I mean, come on, doesn't it melt your heart? Don't deny it. I also quite love it when Hugh Grant says "buggered" in that perfect English accent.
9. "You see things, and you understand. You're a wallflower" - Perks Of Being A Wallflower
One of the best movies I've seen recently. You know when you watch something and immediately develop this warm feeling and a tiny smile? This was that scene!
10. Boombox scene - Say Anything
You wake up to your boyfriend standing outside your window trying to make up for a fight...like that. <3
11. "The point was I had a sister, and she was fantastic" - My Sister's Keeper
This line has always stayed with me, as has the movie. Family drama and tragedy at it's best.12. "I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore" - Twilight
There's no denying that some of the lines Stephenie Meyer wrote were very good, and at times those lines actually didn't get butchered by Rob and Kirsten. Anyways, poor acting doesn't stop me from liking the movie. It's irrational, but when you like something, you just do.
Hope you liked my list. And let me know about your favorite scenes in the comments.
