This ultimate romantic comedy weaves together a spectacular number of love affairs into one amazing story. ABSOLUTLELY agree that this one is number 1. It is one of those movies you must watch quite a few times per year. Especially during the holidays. And of course, tissues must be kept close at hand. The movie never ever ever gets old. Favorite scene: Unbelievable amount to even describe but I think the best one (and the one that brought on the most tears is) "To me, you are perfect".
#2) Notting Hill (1999)
Hugh Grant, the simple bookshop owner whose life is forever changed when the most famous movie star in the world walks in his shop and plants a big wet one on his lips. Another one that will never get old. Something about Hugh Grant...maybe it's the accent or maybe it's about 200 other reasons but he can definitely hold your attention and this movie is one of his best. Favorite movie line: When the sister walks in and discovers Julia Roberts. Her her expression of "OH HOLY F*@K" is priceless!
#3) Pretty Woman (1990)
A wealthy businessman (Richard Gere) hires a prostitute (Julia Roberts) while on a trip to Los Angeles. He offers her money to stay with him for a week to accompany him to various society outings where he feels he should have a date on his arm. Ah yes, of course, it's Vivian with a safety pin holding together her boot. Great movie, although not in my top 10. Favorite scene: Of course when Julia Roberts goes shopping and buys her fabulous brown polka dot dress and hat, etc. LOVE the ensemble!
#4) Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
At the start of the new year, 32-year-old Bridget decides it's time to take control of her life-and start keeping a diary. Now, the most provocative, erotic and hysterical book on her bedside table is the one she's writing. Will never get enough of this one. Favorite scene: when Hugh Grant kisses her for the first time. Pause. Rewind. Watch at least 4 more times!
#5) Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
Booooo....never saw this one. Have you??
#6) When Harry Met Sally (1989)
Does sex make it impossible for men and women to be true friends? The film chronicles this dilemma through the eleven year relationship between Harry Burns (Billy Cristal) and Sally Albright (Meg Ryan) who meet in college, then pursue their own lives until they reconnect ten years later. Favorite line: "I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
#7) My Best Friend's Wedding (1997)
A 28-year-old woman, who years earlier made a pact with her closest male friend that if neither were married in ten years time they would marry one another, now faces the fact that the man is about to marry someone else. He asks her to be his best man and she agrees, planning to go to the ceremony and then break up the couple before they exchange their vows. Favorite line: "Michael… I love you. I’ve loved you for nine years, I’ve just been too arrogant and scared to realize it, and… well, now I’m just scared. So, I realize this comes at a very inopportune time but I really have this gigantic favor to ask of you. Choose me. Marry me. Let me make you happy. Oh, that sounds like three favors, doesn’t it?"
