I was inspired to create this list while I was browsing around my Flickster account. So here are just a few movie quotes that were just memorable…
“Honestly, if you’re not willing to sound stupid you don’t deserve to be in love.” – Emily Friehl (A Lot Like Love (2005))
“Emily, I’m flat broke. I don’t have a job. I don’t have a plan. And I know, I know I’m probably six years too late, but will you give me strike one back?” – Oliver Martin (A Lot Like Love (2005))
“Well, if it wasn’t love, it was a lot like it.” – Oliver Martin (A Lot Like Love (2005))
Don’t… you’ll ruin it. – Emily Friehl (A Lot Like Love (2005))
Can I have one last first kiss? – Lucy (50 First Dates (2004))
“All I know about walruses is that out of all mammals they have the second largest penis. I have the first.” – Dr. Keats (50 First Dates (2004))
“You erased me from your memories because you thought you were holding me back from having a full and happy life. But you made a mistake. Being with you is the only way I could have a full and happy life. You’re the girl of my dreams… and apparently, I’m the man of yours.” – Henry (50 First Dates (2004))
“Well that’s what we do, we fight… You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I’m not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you’re back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.” – Young Noah (The Notebook (2004))
“So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s gonna be really hard. We’re gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What’s it look like? If it’s with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that’s what you really wanted. But don’t you take the easy way out.” – Young Noah (The Notebook (2004))
“Allie, it’s normal not to forget your first love but I want you for myself. I don’t want to convince my fiancée that she should be with me.” – Lon (The Notebook (2004))
“Look, a woman know when a man looks into her eyes and sees someone else.” – Martha Shaw (The Notebook (2004))
“Now you know that I want to give you all the things that you want, right? But I can’t, because they’re gone… They’re broken.” – Young Noah (The Notebook (2004))
“My Dearest Allie. I couldn’t sleep last night because I know that it’s over between us. I’m not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I’ll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that’s what you’ve given me. That’s what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I’ll be seeing you. Noah” – Young Noah (The Notebook (2004))
“Why didn’t you write me? Why? It wasn’t over for me, I waited for you for seven years. But now it’s too late.” – Young Allie (The Notebook (2004))
“Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They’re shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they’re gone.” – Noah (The Notebook (2004))
“I am no one special. Just a common man with common thoughts. I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but in one respect I’ve succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul and for me that has always been enough.” – Duke (The Notebook (2004))
“Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I’m sick. To help me through all this. You’re my angel.” – Jamie (A Walk to Remember (2002))
“You have to promise you won’t fall in love with me.” – Jamie (A Walk to Remember (2002))
“Jamie, I’m trying here, OK? Maybe… maybe I miss spending time with you. Maybe you inspire me.” – Landon (A Walk to Remember (2002))
“Ya know, I was getting along with everything fine. I accepted it, and then you happened! I do not need a reason to be angry with God.” – Jamie (A Walk to Remember (2002))
“Listen, I’m sorry I haven’t treated Jamie the way I should’ve. She deserves more than that. I’m just asking you for the same thing that you teach us every day in Church. And that’s faith.” – Landon (A Walk to Remember (2002))
“Jamie saved my life. She taught me everything. About life, hope and the long journey ahead. I’ll always miss her. But our love is like the wind. I can’t see it, but I can feel it.” – Landon (A Walk to Remember (2002))
“A philosopher once asked, “Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?” Pointless, really…”Do the stars gaze back?” Now *that’s* a question.” – Narrator (Stardust (2007))
“I didn’t mean it like that. Look, I admire your dream. A shop boy like me… I never imagined an adventure this big. I just thought I’d find some celestial rock, take it home and that would be it.” – Tristan (Stardust (2007))
“If there’s one thing I know about all my years watching Earth, is that people aren’t what they may seem. There are shop boys, and there are boys that just happened to work in a shop for the time being. And trust me Tristan, you are no shop boy. You saved my life. Thank you.” – Yvaine (Stardust (2007))
“Yeah, this is where it fell. Or, if you want to get really specific, up there is where this weird bloody necklace came and knocked it out of the heavens while it was minding it’s own business. And over *there* is where it landed. And right here… this is where it got hit by a magical flying moron.” – Yvaine (Stardust (2007))
“You want to know what the Captain really whispered to me that day? He told me that my true love was right in front of my eyes. And he was right.” – Tristan (Stardust (2007))
“You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn’t true. I know a lot about love. I’ve seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate… It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves… You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and… What I’m trying to say, Tristan is… I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I’d know it for myself. My heart… It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it’s trying to escape because it doesn’t belong to me anymore. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I’d wish for nothing in exchange – no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.” – Yvaine (Stardust (2007))
“You seriously think I could kill anybody. Even if I could, I mean, everlasting life? I imagine it would be kind of lonely. Well, maybe if you had someone to share it with. Someone you loved. Then it might be different.” – Tristan (Stardust (2007))
“Not at night. May have escaped your notice, genius, but that’s when the stars have rather better things to do. They’re coming out, shining, that sort of thing.” – Yvaine (Stardust (2007))
“I have to tell you this and you need to hear it. I loved you since I met you, but I wouldn’t allow myself to truly feel it until today. I was always thinking ahead, making decisions soaked with fear… Today, because of you… what I learned from you; every choice I made was different and my life has completely changed… and I’ve learned that if you do that, then you’re living your life fully… it doesn’t matter if you have five minutes or fifty years. Samantha if not for today, if not for you I would never have known love at all… So thank you for being the person who taught me to love… and to be love.” – Ian Wyndham (If Only (2004))
“Some of the charms are old and some are new. That’s a musical note, a violin. This one is a flower, what is no sense of matter at all, except it was exquisite much like yourself. Let’s see… the train that we took today. And… that’s the Eiffel Tower that you’ve always wanted to see. And… this frying pan, cause you are the only person that I know that can actually do the flipping thing. And… this one’s a heart… my heart… it’s yours now.” – Ian Wyndham (If Only (2004))
“This is it, life will never be better, or sweeter than this.” – Nelson (Sweet November (2001))
“Well, yes, ma’am, I do… I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what’s gonna happen or, who I’m gonna meet, where I’m gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life’s a gift and I don’t intend on wasting it. You don’t know what hand you’re gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you… to make each day count.” – Jack (Titanic 1997)
“No, let me try and get this out. You’re ama- I’m not an idiot, I know how the world works. I’ve got ten bucks in my pocket, I have no-nothing to offer you and I know that. I understand. But I’m too involved now. You jump, I jump remember? I can’t turn away without knowing you’ll be all right… That’s all I want.” – Jack (Titanic 1997)
“Really? I don’t think so. They’ve got you trapped, Rose. And you’re gonna die if you don’t break free. Maybe not right away because you’re strong but… sooner or later that fire that I love about you, Rose… that fire’s gonna burn out…” – Jack (Titanic 1997)
“No, there wouldn’t be, would there? And I’ve never spoken of him until now… Not to anyone… Not even your grandfather… A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson and that he saved me… in every way that a person can be saved. I don’t even have a picture of him. He exists now… only in my memory.” – Old Rose (Titanic 1997)
“Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me… it brought me to you. And I’m thankful for that, Rose. I’m thankful. You must do me this honor, Rose. Promise me you’ll survive. That you won’t give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.” – Jack (Titanic 1997)
