Famous Last Words: The Depressing Dialogue Of Rom-Coms

I’ve realized a subversive plot on the part of Hollywood. Though we are fed cookie-cutter versions of romance and unrealistic visions of love, if you take a look at the last lines of the best romance films, they are always so…mundane. Is this the “happily ever after” we were promised? Not even an “I love you” as the screen fades to black?

We picked 12 of our favorite love films and found their last lines…see if you can pair the movie with the dialogue.

Lines

1.”Right”
2.”Okay”
3. “But tonight we are… BARRY JIVE AND THE UPTOWN FIVE!”
4. “Never. Never.”
5. “I’ll be seeing you.”
6. “Would you like to dance?”
7. “Good to have you back.”
8. “Not for me!”
9. “It was good.”
10. “Sam…it’s nice to meet you.”
11. “I guess we keep goin’ through it because, uh, most of us need the eggs.”

12. “I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly.”

Movies:

a) The Notebook

b) Harry Met Sally


c) Sleepless In Seattle


d) You’ve Got Mail


e) Titanic


f) Eternal Sunshine


g) Notting Hill


h) Love Actually


i) Annie Hall


j) High Fidelity


k) Harold and Maude


l) The Graduate

    I recently got to see “You’ve Got Mail” on TBS, as it was on and my Mom had asked me about it describing it as, “One of those stupid chick flicks you like to watch.”

    I was surprised by how good it was! I really loved it. I don’t think I’ve seen a movie with that much depth in a long time.
