Top 14 favorite mushy movie moments

Yes, it's that time of the year again. Just like last year, my first post for the year has been about looove in its cheeziest form. I have missed blogging last Christmas and New Year but obviously missing a Valentine post is out of the question. It's the only time when the sappy in me has an excuse to post nauseatingly mushy blogs like this one. oh how I love it :)

presenting, not in chronological order, my Top 14 favorite mushy movie moments. No dialogue or cheezy lines. just pure picture perfect moments <3 I tried not to use most of the movies i've used on last year's list (I've used 8 out of 15 movies last year. Err..) and not to use very similar moments or concepts. Needless to say, the list has 2 Drew Barrymore's, John Cusack's and Julia Roberts'. Yes, I played favorites this year :)

Anyway, here goes. Happy Valentines Everyone :)

1. Say Anything

I have to start with this movie just like last year because it's one of my Ultimate favorite movies :) i struggled in choosing which moment to feature here but this spells picture perfect more than any scene so there you go. Like i said, no need for mushy lines on this one. This says it all. I love Lloyd Dobler inlove <3 

2. Ever After

I don't know if you noticed but that's a girl, a prince and a horse under the moonlight, which goes without saying that this scene came straight out of my fairytale dreams :P

3. A Lot Like Love

I love the scene when Oliver came out of nowhere and kissed her when the clock striked 12 on New Year's. It was very "to the rescue". realizing again how much I love this movie :)

4. Little Manhattan

eating ice-cream while walking in the park <333 

Gabe, you stud. i am a fan of the big spender :)

5. The Notebook

This movie is just filled with picture perfect moments but I had to choose just one because I don't want to post the whole movie here. So, going with the no cheezy lines theme,here is the dancing-in-the-middle-of-the-street-with-no-music-on scene. This is for a friend ;)

6. Runaway Bride

ok i cheated. I chose two scenes from this movie. Is it my fault that their montage before the wedding was just pure loove? :D I picked the one where they were playing cards because it was such a happy moment and the swing one, because hello, swiiing <3

7. Serendipity

This list would not be complete without my favorite New York moment (and snow moment for that matter) in the history of forever. I can't find a skating picture of them so I picked an equally picture perfect moment of Cassiopeia-ness. Before Tom started drawing buildings on Summer's arm, this moment already captured my heart a long time ago. Sorry Tom but constellation > architecture. haha :P   

8. Clueless

because mushy movie moment lists should never be without one of my favorite couples, Josh and Cher, in my all-time favorite Teen movie, Clueless. Usually, watching TV on the couch does not equate to mushiness but if you're me and if it was Josh and Cher, you would understand. I LOVE this scene :) :) :) You really don't need much props or even romantic lighting to create a happy scene like this one.  

9. How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days

ok, so maybe it was the background song Feels Like Home that really sold this scene to me but hey, I've always wanted a looking-far-away-at-sea moment in a boat or ship of some sort like this one so yeah, this counts as a fave :D

10. Wall-E

i have always excluded animations on my movie lists, especially Disney, because it is a different category and I think it deserves a separate list. However, in thinking about movie moments sans cheezy lines, one cannot help but think about Wall-E, the robot who made us all fall in love without saying anything other than "E-va". I hereby declare him "exception to the rule" This scene features the holding-hand scene. LOVE <3

11. Notting Hill

Can anybody tell me what could be better than this?This picture is the epitome of contentment and marital bliss. it has LOVE written all over it. <3

12. 50 First Dates

I cheated: the sequel. I love the montage of this movie as well, so sue me. I mean chasing each other with the sun setting in the background - hello?can i hear a big resounding DUH? :D and of course, a moment by the beach with a bonfire - i just had to. They sure made it really easy for romantics to love this movie :D 

13. 10 Things I Hate About You

The paintball scene!!! waaah!!! Enough Said! :D

14. When Harry Met Sally

Ending the list with another Ultimate Fave, I leave you with Harry and Sally watching Casablanca at the same time over the phone. If you don't see the beauty of this scene, I don't know what to say to you.
