It's a cliche, but those adorable scenes in When Harry Met Sally, with all of the older couples talking about falling in love.
Definitely the scene from Love Actually, in which the best friend that is in love with Kiera Knightley tells her he loves her tremendously via sign. It was silent, yet so darn romantic, and comedic at the same time, awww...
I'll give one from a romantic comedy and one from a period romance. :)
Romantic comedy: The scene in You've Got Mail when Tom Hanks brings Meg Ryan daisies when she's sick.
Period romance: The scene at the end of North and South, when Thornton and Margaret finally get together.
Great contest!
During the movie the Wedding Date when they are taking dance lessons. At first they are angry at each other... and throughout the dance you can see them loose themselves in each others eyes and the chemistry between them sparks... and the love story begins! Love It!
Mine is also from the Wedding Date where after they've been fighting he comes back and says "I'd rather fight with you then make love with anyone else"... so romantic!!!
My favorite scene is from Love Actually. I love the story line with Colin Firth and his foreign housekeeper. After spending weeks together unable to speak the same language, he realizes he loves her and goes to find her at her parents' restaurant. He then, in very broken Portugese that he has struggled to learn, asks her to marry him. She answers back in broken English and they embrace. It gets me every time!
Aletha! what a fab idea -- LOVE it! there are so many awesome romantic comedies out there but the first one that sticks out in my head is the scene from 'Garden State" where the three friends are at the top of the landfill screaming at the top of their lungs... then Zack Braff (sp?!) grabs Natalie Portman's face and gives her the most passionate first kiss ever! everything from that moment, to the awesome soundtrack playing in the background, to the fact that he didn't care that one of his friends was standing right next to him -- he just had to kiss her. :)
awesome giveaway! I'm going to share it on my blog!
Such a cool giveaway. So many great scenes have already been commented on. One of my faves, not for it's romance but for its hilarity, is in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days when Kate Hudson's character crashes poker night pretending to be an overbearing girlfriend. Her puppy pees on the poker felt, she makes Matthew McConaughey blow into a tissue, etc. Funny!
My absolute favorite romantic comedy is The Holiday with Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black.
I have two favorite scenes...
The first is when Jack Black's character asks Kate Winslet's character if he can be her New Year's date back in England.
The second is when Cameron Diaz's character and Jude Law's characters are laying in a tent in his daughter's bedroom along with his daughters and they refer to themselves as the "three musketeers". It's just too sweet, I bawl my eyes out every time!
LOVE Kristine's artwork!
My favorite is from The Notebook when Noah and Allie are fighting outside and he tells her she's a pain in the ass. The whole dialogue is great!
Maybe this isn't a classic -- yet! -- but I have to say I love the scene from the Sex and the City movie when Carrie and Big (finally!) tie the knot at New York's City Hall. Carrie's in her vintage, thrift shop suit, and Big's, well, Big -- and they're totally authentic together. It's such a sweet moment, just the two of them, stating their simple vows to have and to hold one another. It really spoke to me when I was becoming a crazy bridezilla right after I got engaged -- I thought, "Wait a minute -- this isn't me. This isn't HIM. What are we doing here?!" Now we're doing it our way. (Plus, who doesn't LOVE Chris Noth in, well, anything?!)
This one is so easy I didn't even have to think about it.
The Wedding Date...The scene when Dermot Mulroney says:
Close your eyes. Close your eyes. Close... your... eyes. You're safe. You can relax. I'm not going to kiss you. He's gonna be so sorry he lost you, so stop worrying. Forget the past. Forget the pain. And remember what an incredible woman you are. You do that and he'll realize what he lost.
A knight in shining armor. And let's face it...who wouldn't want Dermot Muloroney to back them up agains a car?!?!?!
You can see it here:

It may not be precisely considered a romantic comedy...but the moment in Strictly Ballroom when the male lead realizes that he loves the female lead more than he wants to win the dancing contest, and goes to her and says, "I want to dance with YOU."
I don't know if this would fit in the category of romantic comedy although it's jampacked with laughter. In Sex and the City the movie, during wedding planning Carrie read some love letters from an old library book to Big written by some of history's greats. Of course, later down the teary and bitter road of being left at the altar, Carrie opened her email that included the love letters from Big. This was brilliant.
I love the scene in "PS I love you" when Hilary Swank's character see's her future hubby singing at the bar. I married a musician and have a soft spot for the.
Oh, goodness! How could I pick just one?? Ok, I'll pick two: When Adam Sandler sings to Drew Barrymore on the plane in The Wedding Singer, and the end of Notting Hill when Julia Roberts says "indefinitely" and then they show them on the park bench. :)
So many wonderful movies to choose from!
One of my favorite romantic comedy scenes:
Jerry Maguire - Scene with Tom Cruise and Renee Zellwegger - "You complete me" "You had me at hello."
Classic!
What a fun giveaway! My favorite romantic comedy is Notting Hill. My favorite scene is when he's in the restaurant with his friends telling them about how she was at his bookstore and said that she was just a girl in love with a boy, but he turned her away. So he said something about how he messed up (in all British hilarity) and ALL of them cram into this little car and start racing to the airport to catch her. It's just hilarious; I love British humor :)
The Princess Bride... "Wuv, twu wuv" speech from the wedding ceremony. I'm considering it for my actual ceremony, but I'm not sure I'm quite brave enough.
How fun! One of my favorites is from Never Been Kissed when Mr. Coolsen finally comes jogging down the stadium stairs to give Josie her first real kiss. Oh, I get goose bumps just thinking about it!
Very cool giveaway, what a treasure! I must admit that my favorite romantic comedy line is:
Buttercup: "Farm Boy, fetch me that pitcher!"
Wesley: "As you wish...."
sums up my romance with my own hubby pretty darn well ;)
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! What beautiful artwork. :)
My favorite romantic comedy, hands down, would have to be Hitch. Although there are so many scenes that make me melt, here's one that continues to make me laugh no matter how many times I watch:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py5qAH7wELY
It is the scene where Hitch is teaching Albert how to dance. Because I cannot break any kind of moves, this will most likely be how I'll look on our upcoming wedding day!
One of my favorites is in Juno when they are on the track and she is about 10 months preg and she tells him she loves him. Then they kiss. And when he goes to see her in the hospital and crawls in bed with her because she is crying. I know this may not be a "grown up" romantic movie, but I laugh and cry each and every time.
I think my absolute favorite scene in a romantic comedy is from Fever Pitch when Lindsey (Drew Barrymore) jumps over the green monster (in the middle of the playoffs) and runs across the field of Fenway Park to tell Ben (Jimmy Fallon) telling each other how much she loves him and not to sell the tickets.
And then they make out in front of the entire crowd.
There's just something romantic about risking jail time to tell someone you love them.
Oh My, what a wonderful give away. My favorite love story/comedy/drama is all wrapped in forrest gump.
The best part is: FG:will you marry me?
FG:I'd make a good husband Jenny
J:You, would forrest.
FG:.. But you wont marry me.
J:(sadly)..You dont wanna marry me.
FG. Why dont you love me jenny?
FG. Im not a smart man.. but I know what love is.
Sooo sweet
Very cool idea.
My favorite recent romantic comedy is 27 Dresses. I like the scene when Jane and Kevin (who have been bickering throughout the whole movie) bust a move to Benny and the Jets on the bar and the whole bar is singing along. Kevin had just claimed that he couldn't remember writing a wedding article about the Keller wedding, and Jane couldn't believe that he could be so un-sentimental. Then as Kevin lifts Jane down from the bar, he looks her in the eyes and admits, "I cried like a baby at the Keller wedding." And then they kiss.
of course the best romantic scene is the boombox scene from "Say Anything"...

aletha, i sure do miss you! i love reading your blog it is so inspiring!
loveyou.lianne.
My absolute favorite romantic comedy of all time is "You've Got Mail." My favorite line in the movie is when Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly are exchanging e-mails:
“Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address..”
How creative and sweet and thoughtful. :)
My favorite is from Jennifer Lopez in The Wedding Planner (how fitting for Aletha ;-) ) I love the part when they break the statue's private part and they are freaking out and Jennifer's Character says "I'm sorry I didn't carry super glue incase his pecker fell off" It is what I think of everytime I see the movie :-) funny and cute
I love Nicholas Sparks and my favorite scene in The Notebook is..
When Allie remembers who she picked, Her and Noah danced and were truly happy & in love.
That scene shows that love can withstand anything.
I love Pride and Prejudice any way you slice it , however Kiera Knightley and Matthew MacFayden are great in the scene where Elizabeth can't sleep and so she goes out to walk and then Mr. Darcy comes walking up and the sun rises behind them. Classic, clean romance.

Oh, my absolute favorite romantic comedy is Bridget Jones's Diary. There are SOO many great parts, but one of my favorites is at the "smug married couples" dinner party, and Bridget leaves because she's sick of the harassing. Mark Darcy follows her as she's getting ready to leave and tells her he likes her "exactly as she is." Sigh. Swoon. Colin Firth, such a great part. :)
I am going go with the scene from Only You (remember that one with Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr.?) when he shows up on her plane at the very end. Even though he is not "Damon Bradley" she realizes that what she was looking for was right in front of her all along!
I usually don't like romantic comedies, but the final scene with the cute little boy and the airport in Love Actually is awesome. Along with every other scene in that movie!
Oh I have to say "Sixteen Candles" the end when Molly is at the wedding and the cars drive away and JAKE RYAN is waiting for her.
He waves and she looks around like, "who me"?
He asks her if she is going to the reception and she says, yes and then no and then yes and then no and ends up leaving with Jake.
They end up sitting on the dining room table with her birthday cake and he says, "Make a wish and she says, "It already came true"... AND THEN THEY KISS!
Oh! Love it and I so remember wanting to be her at that very moment.
BTW, since it is anonymous, I'm the one that posted from Hitch + dance.

I always have a new movie I love and right now is My Best Friend's Girl. I know so not right. (I'm a little wacky:)
it would have to be at the end when tank is in a restaurant with a date and Alexis walks in and sees them. She just cant help herself but to go over and tell his date that Tank got her and her sister pregnant. They go into it and have a war of phrases that would totally kill a date. But it ends with them kissing.
I enjoy wrong movies way too much.
"Nobody puts Baby in a corner." My all time favorite movie is Dirty Dancing. Of course, the best scene is when Johnny comes back after being fired to dance with Baby in the last dance. They nailed the lift! And what a romantic and sexy dance!?!
