Love is not as simple as the word and its usage have become. The proof that love is complicated and unpredictable is endless, especially in movies. Here are just a few of the words and moments that reveal how truly remarkable love can be:
Paul Varjak in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken.. You've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." Jenny Hayden in Starman (1984) Love is when you care for someone else more than you care for yourself. Ronny in Moonstruck (1987) Loretta, I love you. Not like they told you love is, and I didn't know this either, but love don't make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and die. Sarah in The Crow (1994) If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn. People die. But real love lives forever. Don Juan in Don Juan DeMarco (1995) There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: only love. Sam Rothstein in Casino (1995) When you love someone, you've gotta trust them. There's no other way. You've got to give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point? And, for a while, I believed that's the kind of love I had. Marianne in Sense and Sensibility (1995) To love is to burn, to be on fire, all full of passion... Willie in Beautiful Girls (1996) You know how it is, the beginnings? When you first fall in love and you can't eat, you can't sleep and getting a call from her, it makes your day. It's like seeing a shooting star. Sean in Good Will Hunting (1997) Real loss is only possible when you love something more than you love yourself. Jerry Fletcher in Conspiracy Theory (1997) Love gives you wings. It makes you fly. I don't even call it love. I call it Geronimo. When you're in love, you'll jump right from the top of the Empire State and you won't care, screaming "geronimo" the whole way down. I love her so bad, I just... whoa, she wrecks me. I'd die for her.
