Lloyd Dobler, Say Anything

This post is brought to you by the letter H for HORMONES.

I was reading someone's blog yesterday where they mentioned the bathtub scene from "Big Fish" and it got me 1.) super emotional, tears rolling down my face thankful for Love and 2.) Remembering movie moments that made me feel that way. I love movies almost as much as I love music and that makes it extremely difficult for me to choose top five, ten, howevermany magical-romantic-feel good/heart wrenching-moments. Instead, I will try to list a few on a weekly basis.

First one, of course is that magical boombox moment from "Say Anything" where Lloyd is standing outside Diane's window and blasts Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes (Which also happens to be OUR song). Sweet, sweet sighage. I just want to teleport into my televesion screen, run up to Lloyd and makeout furiously with him. I'd give him more than my pen.

Next up, we have "Vanilla Sky." Such an incredible movie, I can't sell it enough to everyone I know. There are so many moments but the one sticking out the most to me at this moment is the ending. "I'll see you in another life, when we are both cats." That coupled with the knowledge that their love was fabricated in his mind made me weap like a little girl. I don't know about you, but I would much rather have experienced a fabricated love of my life and having a purpose to get me through life, than to have never have even come close to what love is.

Speaking of love that never was, can we take a minute to remember Clementine and Joel from "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind", cause they sure as heck can't. "Come back and make up a good-bye at least. Let's pretend we had one." I have hopes they met each other in Montauk.

Last but not least for today is the "Why didn't you write me?" scene from "The Notebook." What part of that scene DOES NOT give you the butterflies? Seriously-there is rain, a Gorgeous hunk of man meat and passionate kisses and lovemaking. This scene is tied with the one at the end where she figures out Joel has been reading their life story to her.

Closing thought: There IS hope for Love, afterall.
