Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. To celebrate, the members of Her Campus Conn College wanted to share our favorite love moments from movies and television.
27 Dresses Bettina Weiss
This is my favorite part of the movie for three reasons: first: if I were to dance on a bar, I think this is an acceptable reason to do so, second: James Marsden is adorable, and third: “walrus sounds” and “electric boobs”….enough said.
No Strings Attached Annie Husted
Although this is totally a mushy love scene, who wouldn’t love Ashton Kutcher to profess his love to you like this? Such a tear-jerker, but truly sweet and perfect for a classic movie love scene.
Love Actually Lulu Pajolek
Though Colin Firth presents himself in a somewhat gauche manner, the love between him and Aurelia is definitely there, proving that love knows no language.
Crazy Stupid Love Leah Swinson
For every girl who, liked me, has ever lacked social grace around a guy, this scene is a ray of hope. Even though Emma Stone makes a fool of herself, she stays true to her character, gets the guy, and gets to experience Ryan Gosling’s “big move.” Who wouldn’t want that?
Say Anything Hannah Feeney
This has always been one of my favorite scenes and movies. It’s simultaneously so quintessentially 80’s but also totally timeless, and I love that.
Fresh Prince Danielle Cyr
Will Smith certainly knows how to make a woman feel like she’s on top of the world. Who cares if he swoons every lovely lady he sees with his charming manner; I wouldn’t mind if he tried to get my attention! But in all seriousness, I never get tired of watching Will pick up the ladies. Simply hilarious.
How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days Abigail Kulewicz
This film is one of my favorite romantic comedies, but this is one of my favorite scenes because I think it’s really cute how he finds her in a Taxi cab. Such a New York moment.
A Walk To Remember Wren Manly
This is one of the best scenes in the movie. Shane West plays this sort of bad boy character, but when he meets Mandy Moore’s character we see his sweet side. In this scene he asks her to marry him in the church where her parents got married, which is her number one aspiration to complete before she dies.
Garden State Alheli Garza
We’ve all had to (at least once) end a relationship due to a location change. Whether it was at your high graduation or the end of summer camp, the moment of ‘the final goodbye’ is filled with emotions.
Paperman Animated Short Olivia Wilcox
A cute and short animated film about falling in love.
He’s Just Not That Into You Annie Rusk
This is my favorite because not only is it about two people falling in love, it argues against the pessimist premise of the entire movie.
The Princess Bride Kaitlin McDonagh
A dashing man answering to your every whim with “As you wish”? Sounds good to me! As Westley proves in this movie, not even “death [can] stop true love.”
