What are some of the most memorable romantic movie lines ever said on cinema?

Question

For me, the most unforgettable love lines..
"It wasn't supposed to happen this way... if you lose me, then you'll know I loved you and I wanted to go on loving you!" --- Kim Novak, in Vertigo

"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." ---Leonardo DiCaprio, Titanic.

Answer 1

From "To Have and Have Not" (1944)

Humphrey Bogart in the role of: Harry 'Steve' Morgan
Lauren Bacall in the role of: Marie 'Slim' Browning

[Slim kisses Steve]
Steve: What did you do that for?
Slim: I've been wondering if I'd like it.
Steve: What's the decision?
Slim: I don't know yet.
[They kiss again]
Slim: It's even better when you help.

and also from the same movie, the classic come-on from Bacall/'Slim':

Slim: You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow.

*ooh la la!*


But my favorite remains the voiceover/narrative from John Huston's film of the James Joyce tale, "The Dead."


Yes, and Gabriel thought of how Gretta who lay beside him had locked in her heart for so many years that image of her lover's eyes when he had told her that he did not wish to live. Generous tears filled Gabriel's eyes. He had never felt like that himself towards any woman, but he knew that such a feeling must be love.

*I get goosebumps even now just reading those words, and a tear wells up in my eye.*


This from Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Rings, 2001):

Liv Tyler in the role of Arwen Evenstar,
Viggo Mortensen in the role of Aragorn, son of Arathorn

Arwen: Do you remember when we first met?
Aragorn: I thought I had wandered into a dream.
Arwen: Long years have passed. You did not have the cares you carry now. Do you remember what I told you?
Aragorn: You said you'd bind yourself to me, forsaking the immortal life of your people.
Arwen: And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.
[hands him her pendant]
Arwen: I choose a mortal life.
Aragorn: You cannot give me this.
Arwen: It is mine to give to whom I will. Like my heart.

Answer 2

As most people think of either Jerry Maguire or one of the classics, which I love classic movies, I chose some more recent ones.

Alex Whitman: You are everything I never knew I always wanted.
"Fools Rush In" (1997)-Starring Matthew Perry & Salma Hayek

Beverly Clark: We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'."
"Shall We Dance?"-(2004)---Starring Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Jennifer Lopez.

George Bailey: What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon, Mary.
Mary: I'll take it. Then what?
George Bailey: Well, then you can swallow it, and it'll all dissolve, see... and the moonbeams would shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair... am I talking too much?
"It's A Wonderful Life" (1946)-Starring Jimmy Stewart & Donna Reed.

Helen: Orlando, what's going--
Orlando: I know you don't believe in fairy tales. But, if you did, I'd want to be your knight in shining armor. You've been through so much. I don't want to see you hurt anymore. Now I may not be able to give you all that your used to. But I do know I can love you past your pain. I don't want you to worry about anything. You just wake up in the morning, that's all you have to do and I'll take it from there. There's one condition. You have to be my wife.
"Diary of a Mad Black Woman" (2005)---Starring Tyler Perry, Kimberly Elise & Shemar Moore.

Homer Parrish: Have I said anything about changing my mind?
Wilma Cameron: No. That's just it. You haven't said anything about anything... I don't know what to think, Homer. All I know is, I was in love with you when you left and I'm in love with you now. Other things may have changed but that hasn't.

And back to Casablanca:

Answer 4

I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten.
