00:00Judy Maxwell.
00:01How do you do?
00:02How do you do?
00:02Could you let go of my hand?
00:04I don't think so.
00:04Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:06And today, we're looking at our favorite movie scenes
00:09where couples meet in an adorable and memorable way.
00:12Plenty of spoilers to follow.
00:14So what do you recommend to encourage affection?
00:18Dancing.
00:20Even if one's partner is barely tolerable.
00:24Number 30.
00:25Alex Whitman and Isabel Fuentes Whitman.
00:28Fool's Russian.
00:30This underappreciated rom-com is largely carried by its stars,
00:34Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek,
00:37who share an irresistible chemistry from the moment Alex and Isabel meet.
00:41I just told him to stop being a pig in front of our new priest.
00:46That's Father Alex to you.
00:49Both come from very different backgrounds
00:51and are headed down even more different paths.
00:54Fate brings them together.
00:55At least, that's how Isabel sells it
00:57when she convinces Alex to let her cut ahead of him in line at a restaurant.
01:01You do?
01:03Absolutely.
01:06And why would fate go to all that trouble?
01:11So that I wouldn't have to wait in line.
01:14Isabel believes that everything happens for a reason.
01:17Alex is more cynical,
01:19but Isabel makes her point over the next nine months.
01:22If they hadn't met in line,
01:24they wouldn't have slept together,
01:25meaning Isabel wouldn't have gotten pregnant
01:27from what they assumed was a one-night stand,
01:30leading to a serious relationship neither knew they wanted.
01:33I don't believe in science, Alex.
01:36Not anymore.
01:36Yes, you do.
01:37Yes, you do.
01:39You were wrong.
01:40The baby didn't bring us together.
01:41It was something else.
01:42Something bigger.
01:44I just didn't believe it until now.
01:46Number 29.
01:47Elphaba Thropp and Fierro Tigilar.
01:49By the time Wicked finally made its way from stage to screen,
01:54Broadway fans knew the musical inside and out.
01:57The filmmakers put their own spin on a few integral moments, though,
02:01such as Elphaba's first meeting with Fierro.
02:04So sorry, miss.
02:05We didn't see you there.
02:06You must have blended with the foliage.
02:10In this version,
02:11Fierro tries to charm Elphaba
02:13after nearly trampling her with his horse of a different color.
02:16But Elphaba, assuming he's mocking her,
02:18launches into her usual introductory speech.
02:22All right.
02:23Here we go.
02:24No, I'm not seasick.
02:26Neither am I.
02:27No, I did not eat grass as a child.
02:29Oh, you didn't. I did.
02:30And yes, I have always been green.
02:33And the defensiveness, is that a recent development?
02:35The banter establishes the sparks between the two characters,
02:38but it's also an early indication
02:40that Fierro is different from the others at Shiz.
02:43Elphaba is also different,
02:44being the first woman to turn Fierro down, for now.
02:48I'm off for some more trampling.
02:50May we offer you a ride?
02:51No, thanks.
02:52Got stuffed.
02:54Wow.
02:56Files, but we have just been spanned by a girl.
02:58Hmm.
02:59Indeed.
03:01Guess it's the first time for everything.
03:02Number 28.
03:04Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters.
03:07The Fault in Our Stars.
03:09Sorry.
03:12My bad.
03:14I'm sorry.
03:15Meeting at a cancer support group,
03:17Hazel and Gus have contrasting outlooks on life.
03:20Before they even have a proper conversation,
03:23it's clear how different they are
03:25as Gus smiles across the room,
03:27while Hazel looks back unenthusiastically.
03:30Hazel knows that she's going to die sooner rather than later,
03:33struggling to make the most of what little time she has left.
03:37Gus, who's in remission,
03:38plans on living an extraordinary life,
03:40whether it's long or short.
03:42See, I decided a while back not to deny myself
03:45the simpler pleasures of existence,
03:46particularly as you so astutely pointed out,
03:49we're all going to die pretty soon.
03:50Despite their opposite worldviews,
03:52Hazel can't deny that she's won over by Gus's outgoing personality,
03:56slowly encouraging her to take a chance on loving someone
03:59she'll inevitably have to say goodbye to.
04:01The whole world might not remember Augustus Waters' name when he's gone,
04:06but Hazel will.
04:07I cannot tell you how thankful I am
04:09for our little infinity.
04:13Number 27, Harry Sanborn and Erica Berry.
04:17Something's gotta give.
04:18Erica might be younger than Harry,
04:20but not young enough for his tastes.
04:22The 60-something Harry exclusively dates women
04:25who are less than half his age.
04:27In fact, Harry only meets Erica
04:29because he's seeing her daughter, Maren.
04:31Like, you don't know you have a slight reputation for...
04:34Four.
04:35Four, never dating anyone over 30.
04:38It just so happens, my dear,
04:40that women of a certain age don't date me.
04:44Never think of it that way.
04:45The May-December couple plan to spend a getaway together
04:48at Erica's mother's house in the Hamptons.
04:50Hijinks naturally ensue
04:52when Erica and her sister Zoe show up unannounced,
04:55discovering a pantsless Harry.
04:57The good news is that Harry isn't an intruder.
04:59The bad news is that he's dating Maren,
05:01who's wearing even fewer clothes than Harry.
05:04You're dating my daughter?
05:06Now, who would have thought that would be worse news?
05:10Ah!
05:10Ah.
05:12Ah.
05:14Ah, yeah, sorry.
05:15Falls a lot.
05:16It's the first of many surprises for Erica,
05:18who gradually falls for Harry.
05:20He's just as shocked to be more attracted
05:22to a mother than a daughter.
05:24At one point,
05:26I even thought,
05:28soulmates.
05:34Number 26.
05:35Stanley Ipkiss and Tina Carlisle.
05:37The Mask.
05:39Stanley's introduction to Tina
05:40is also how many audiences met Cameron Diaz,
05:43who became an overnight star from her first scene.
05:46Emerging from a rainstorm,
05:48the bombshell seeks the shy Stanley
05:50to open a bank account.
05:51So,
05:52what kind of account do you have in mind?
05:56I'm not sure exactly.
05:58You see,
05:58I'm just terrible with things like that.
06:01That's an interesting time,
06:03Mr.
06:04Ipkiss.
06:05Tina is only there to scout out
06:07the joint for her gangster boyfriend,
06:08who plans on robbing the bank.
06:10The film's title may allude to Stanley,
06:12but Tina also puts on a mask here
06:14as a femme fatale.
06:15You know,
06:16it sort of looks like,
06:17um,
06:19a young woman riding bareback.
06:21Sort of a
06:22Lady Godiva or something.
06:26Of course.
06:27What do you see,
06:28Mr.
06:29Ipkiss?
06:30Despite hiding her true intentions,
06:32Tina seems genuinely charmed
06:34by Stanley's aw shucks attitude.
06:37While Tina is used to flirting with men,
06:39she rarely meets one who's sincere.
06:41Although Stanley convinces himself
06:42that a woman like Tina
06:43is out of his league,
06:45he doesn't need a mask to win her over.
06:47It's the guy inside the mask.
06:49It's you,
06:50all alone.
06:52Yeah.
06:54Stanley.
06:55Number 25.
06:57Allie Campana and Jackson Maine.
06:59A Star is Born.
07:01A Star is Born has been retold
07:03more than a few times,
07:04but each version reflects
07:05the era in which it came out.
07:07The 1937 original
07:09sadly lacked a meet-cute
07:10at a drag bar.
07:11Thankfully,
07:12the 2018 remake
07:13most certainly did have one.
07:15My man,
07:15aren't you that,
07:17aren't you like-
07:17This is a bar, right?
07:18Yeah,
07:18but I don't know
07:19if this is your kind of place.
07:20They got alcohol?
07:21Oh yeah,
07:22but-
07:22That's my kind of place.
07:23Country star Jackson
07:24is simply looking for a spot
07:26to have some drinks
07:27when he pops into the establishment.
07:29He also gets a show,
07:30becoming immediately drawn in
07:31by Allie's performance
07:32of La Vie en Rose.
07:34Allie assumes that performing in bars
07:59is the most applause
08:00that she'll ever hear.
08:01Jackson can tell
08:02she's destined for stardom,
08:04determined to make it happen.
08:05But first,
08:06he introduces himself backstage,
08:08and a star-crossed romance
08:09is born.
08:10Why did you come back here?
08:12Your friend bought me back here.
08:14I'm glad he did.
08:16Number 24,
08:17Holly Golightly
08:18and Paul Varjack
08:19Breakfast at Tiffany's.
08:21Socialite Holly Golightly
08:22is the life of the party.
08:24At the same time,
08:25her life is about as empty
08:26is her apartment.
08:27Well, it's a nice little place
08:30you've got here.
08:32You just moved in too, huh?
08:34I've been here about a year.
08:36Despite having a place of residence,
08:38she's essentially a stray cat,
08:40fleeing from commitment
08:41as quickly as she ran away
08:42from her old life.
08:43She opens the door
08:44to her neighbor Paul,
08:45whose reserved demeanor
08:47clashes with Holly's
08:48whirlwind lifestyle.
08:49Paul gets caught up
08:50in that whirlwind,
08:51as Holly tells him
08:52why her apartment
08:53lacks furniture,
08:54why her cat lacks a name,
08:56and why Tiffany's
08:57seems to be the only place
08:58that can fill the void
08:59in her life.
09:00The quietness
09:00and the proud look of it,
09:02nothing very bad
09:02could happen to you there.
09:04If I could find
09:05a real life place
09:06that made me feel
09:07like Tiffany's,
09:08then I'd buy some furniture
09:11and give the cat a name.
09:13As messy as she is glamorous,
09:15the scene perfectly
09:16encompasses who Holly is.
09:18Yet there's still
09:18an element of mystery
09:19for Paul to uncover.
09:21How do I look?
09:22Very good.
09:25I must say I'm amazed.
09:27You were darling to help.
09:28I could never have done it
09:28without you.
09:30Back?
09:31Call me anytime.
09:32Number 23.
09:34Annie Hall and Alvy Singer
09:35Annie Hall
09:36It doesn't seem like
09:38a life-changing moment
09:39when Alvy first encounters
09:40Annie on the tennis court.
09:42She's the friend
09:42of a friend of a friend
09:43playing against Alvy
09:45in a doubles match.
09:46The true meet-cute
09:47comes after the game
09:48when Annie says hello to Alvy.
09:50You play very well.
09:52Oh yeah?
09:53So do you.
09:54Oh God,
09:55what a dumb thing to say, right?
09:57I mean, you say it,
09:58you play well,
09:59and then right away
09:59I have to say you play well.
10:02Oh, oh God, Annie.
10:04The scene is made
10:05especially memorable
10:06thanks to Diane Keaton's wardrobe,
10:08one of several features
10:09that help Annie stand out
10:10from the other women
10:11that Alvy dates.
10:12The Oscar-winning dialogue
10:14also establishes
10:15an awkward yet immediate attraction
10:17as Annie offers
10:18to give Alvy a ride,
10:19even if they're on
10:20opposite sides of the city.
10:22A wild car ride
10:23culminates in the two
10:24having rooftop drinks,
10:25complete with some
10:26of the funniest subtitles
10:27in cinema.
10:28Well, to me,
10:29I mean,
10:30it's all instinctive,
10:32you know?
10:32I mean,
10:32I just try to feel it,
10:34you know?
10:34I try to get a sense of it
10:35and not think about it so much.
10:38Still,
10:38you need a set
10:39of aesthetic guidelines
10:40to put it in social perspective,
10:42I think.
10:43Number 22,
10:44Judy Maxwell
10:45and Howard Bannister.
10:47What's up, Doc?
10:48As the title suggests,
10:50this screwball comedy
10:51owes a fair deal
10:52to the Looney Tunes.
10:53From the moment
10:54Judy comes into Howard's life,
10:56it's as chaotic
10:56as when Elmer Fudd
10:57met Bugs Bunny.
10:59What's up, Doc?
11:00I beg your pardon?
11:01You've got to stop
11:02meeting like this.
11:03I think you're making a mistake.
11:04You see,
11:04I just came in here
11:05for something for a headache.
11:06You're going to need
11:07an awful big glass of water
11:08to get that down.
11:09Barbara Streisand
11:10channels the rascally rabbit
11:12as Judy introduces herself
11:14to the bookish Howard.
11:15Judy may not seem
11:16like the most well-read person,
11:18but appearances
11:18can be deceiving.
11:19I relate primarily
11:21to micas,
11:22quartz,
11:23feldspar.
11:24You can keep your pyroxenes
11:25magnetized and coarse-grained
11:26plutonics as far as I'm concerned.
11:29I forgot why I came in here.
11:31Headache.
11:32Judy isn't just
11:33more knowledgeable
11:34than she looks,
11:35she's also more destructive,
11:37instantly causing trouble
11:38for Howard,
11:39whose modest life
11:40slowly but surely spirals
11:41into an out-of-control
11:42merry-go-round.
11:44Although this is
11:44their first meeting,
11:45Judy acts as if
11:46Howard is her husband,
11:48roping him
11:48into her shenanigans.
11:50The two become inseparable,
11:51whether Howard likes it or not.
11:53I don't know who you are,
11:54I don't know who she is.
11:55Oh, come on, Steve.
11:56Buy her the radio,
11:57it's on sale.
12:00You call this a honeymoon?
12:02Number 21,
12:04Tony and Maria,
12:05West Side Story.
12:06What have you been taking
12:07tonight?
12:08A trip to the moon.
12:10And I'll tell you a secret, doc.
12:11Ain't a man that's up there.
12:13It's a girl.
12:15A lady.
12:16Locking eyes across
12:17the crowded gym at a dance,
12:19Tony and Maria
12:20are practically transported
12:21to another plane of existence,
12:23one without prejudice,
12:24where they can go together
12:25in harmony.
12:26The music also shifts
12:27from rambunctious to heavenly,
12:29like the two are floating on air.
12:31Before even saying a word
12:32to each other,
12:33they communicate through dance.
12:35When they do finally speak,
12:37Tony feels like
12:37he's met Maria before,
12:39as if their worlds
12:40were always destined
12:41to collide.
12:42So much to believe.
12:45You're not making a joke.
12:49I have not yet learned
12:51how to joke that way.
12:53I think now I never will.
12:56Time seemingly slows down,
12:58but unfortunately,
12:59it's a moment that
12:59can't remain frozen forever.
13:01The two are soon
13:02given a reality check,
13:03realizing that a rivalry
13:04threatens to keep them apart.
13:06The feelings Tony
13:07and Maria experienced
13:09that night
13:09can't overcome
13:10the tragedy on the horizon.
13:23Number 20.
13:24Ian Miller and Fethullah Tula Portakalos.
13:27My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
13:29I wish I was braver
13:30and prettier
13:31or just happy.
13:34But it's useless to dream
13:36because nothing ever changes.
13:39Even though their relationship
13:40is a bit more complicated
13:41than most,
13:42what with Tula's parents
13:43wanting her to settle down
13:44with a Greek man,
13:45that doesn't make the moment
13:46Tula and Ian first meet
13:47any less cute.
13:49Back when she worked
13:49at her parents' diner,
13:51Tula's lust emerged
13:52as soon as he walked
13:53into the restaurant.
13:54Frumpy and awkward,
13:55she immediately starts
13:56to stare at him from afar.
13:58Sorry.
13:59My brain stopped.
14:01You know,
14:02you ever have one of those days?
14:03It's like,
14:04going along and it stopped.
14:05Then the babbling begins.
14:07Though they meet again
14:08after her makeover
14:09and while she's working
14:10at her aunt's travel agency,
14:12it's the way Ian
14:12unintentionally silences Tula
14:14by laughing at her cheesy joke
14:16and her snubbing
14:17of his friend
14:17slash her restaurant patron
14:19that makes the scene
14:20unforgettably hilarious.
14:21Could I get some more coffee,
14:23please?
14:23Sure.
14:28Number 19.
14:29Danielle de Barberac
14:30and Crown Prince Henry II
14:31Ever After
14:32This late 90s reinterpretation
14:35of the classic
14:35Cinderella fairy tale
14:37has got to be
14:38one of our favorite
14:38romantic comedies
14:39of all time
14:40and features
14:41a hilarious meet-cute.
14:43Set in 16th century France,
14:45Ever After stars
14:46Drew Barrymore as Danielle,
14:47a young woman
14:48whose father has passed away
14:50who lives with her evil
14:51stepmother and stepsisters.
14:53Say hello
14:53to your new stepsister.
14:56Mademoiselle?
14:57One day,
14:58Danielle spots a man
14:59stealing her late father's horse
15:00and reacts aggressively,
15:02pelting him with apples
15:03as he tries to ride away.
15:05Oh, no you don't.
15:06Soon after,
15:17she realizes
15:18he's actually the prince
15:19and the love story
15:20that ensues
15:21of course ends
15:22happily ever after.
15:23Forgive me,
15:24your highness,
15:24I did not see you.
15:27Your aim
15:28would suggest otherwise.
15:30Number 18.
15:31David and Natalie
15:32Love Actually
15:33You know how you say
15:37all the wrong things
15:38when you're nervous?
15:39Well, Natalie's got that
15:40in spades.
15:41When the new prime minister,
15:42played by Hugh Grant,
15:43meets his staff members
15:44for the first time,
15:45Natalie makes a big impression
15:46on him by accidentally swearing.
15:49More than once.
15:49Hello, Natalie.
15:50Hello, David.
15:52I mean, sir.
15:53I can't believe I've just said that.
15:55And now I've gone and said
15:56twice.
15:58I'm so sorry, sir.
15:59But Natalie is young
16:01and attractive
16:01and the prime minister
16:02has a good sense of humor
16:03so he falls for her
16:05almost immediately
16:06which is problematic
16:07seeing as she works for him.
16:08I did have an awful premonition
16:09I was a f*** up
16:10on the first day.
16:13Oh, piss it.
16:15They secretly pine
16:16for each other
16:16throughout the rest of the movie
16:18but it's this first meeting
16:19that really showcases
16:20their romantic chemistry.
16:21Right.
16:22I'll go get my things
16:23and then let's fix
16:24the country, shall we?
16:25Number 17.
16:26Captain Von Trapp
16:27and Maria
16:28The Sound of Music
16:29While there are many themes
16:31going on in this 1965 classic
16:33at its heart
16:34The Sound of Music
16:35is a love story.
16:36They may seem like
16:36an unlikely pair
16:37especially when they first meet
16:39but Captain Von Trapp
16:40and Maria
16:41have gone down in history
16:42as one of the best film couples.
16:44Why do you stare at me that way?
16:46Well,
16:46you don't look at all
16:48like a sea captain, sir.
16:50I'm afraid you don't look
16:51very much like a governess.
16:52Maria is hired
16:53to be the governess
16:54for Captain Von Trapp's children
16:55and upon arriving
16:57at his sprawling home
16:58she realizes
16:59that she is in
16:59for quite an experience
17:00when she meets
17:01the stern man
17:02who has a special whistle
17:03for his kids.
17:04I'm placing you in command.
17:05Yes, sir.
17:12They may seem like
17:13polar opposites
17:14but hey,
17:15we know what they say
17:15about those.
17:16Do allow me,
17:17will you?
17:18Mm-hmm.
17:18Would you rather your new Gucci shoe
17:34or Matthew McConaughey?
17:35When Steve,
17:36played by McConaughey,
17:37saves Jennifer Lopez's character
17:39from a runaway dumpster
17:40after her designer shoe
17:41gets caught in a manhole cover,
17:43she doesn't get to choose.
17:44But we're pretty sure
17:53that if she had the choice,
17:54she would have gone
17:55with Steve anyway,
17:56as her Gucci shoe
17:57is long forgotten.
17:58This wouldn't be the last time
18:00J-Lo played the lead
18:00in a romantic comedy
18:01where her character
18:02gets herself
18:03into an embarrassing situation though.
18:05The next year,
18:06she'd hit the big screen
18:07as Marissa
18:07in Made in Manhattan,
18:09a maid who pretends
18:10to be a rich socialite
18:11to impress a man
18:12and then has to try
18:13to keep up the charade.
18:14Hello.
18:16Hi.
18:16Number 15,
18:17Troy Bolton and Gabriela Montez,
18:20High School Musical.
18:21Who's gonna rock the house next?
18:24Huh?
18:30Oh!
18:34Yeah!
18:35A meet cute is what kicked off
18:36this entire adorable
18:37Disney franchise.
18:39Hey, you know what?
18:39Someday,
18:40someday you guys
18:41might thank me for this.
18:42Or not.
18:44High schoolers
18:45Troy and Gabriela
18:46are both on a break
18:47from school
18:47when they have a chance
18:48encounter at a ski lodge
18:50on New Year's Eve.
18:51They inadvertently
18:52end up singing a duet
18:53together during a karaoke session,
18:55which results in the tune
18:56Start of Something New.
18:57This could be the start
18:59of something new.
19:01It feels so right
19:03to be here with you.
19:06Of course,
19:07this won't be the last
19:07they see of one another
19:08because when school
19:09is back in session,
19:10they're both attending
19:11East High School
19:12because Gabriela
19:13has just moved to town.
19:15Hey!
19:16I don't believe it
19:18either.
19:19But how?
19:20Well, my mom's company
19:21transferred her here
19:22to Albuquerque.
19:23Number 14,
19:24Don Lockwood
19:24and Kathy Seldon,
19:26Singing in the Rain.
19:27This car hasn't given me
19:28a lick of trouble
19:28in nearly six hours.
19:29Hey, there's Don Lockwood!
19:32Hey, see?
19:32Your parents always told you
19:34not to get in a car
19:34with a stranger,
19:35but in this case,
19:36rules be damned.
19:37Don Lockwood,
19:38famous silent film star,
19:40jumps into Kathy Seldon's car
19:42while trying to escape
19:43from a group of fans.
19:44Lady, keep driving.
19:46Can you get out of here?
19:46Everything's all right.
19:47Just keep going.
19:48Can you get out of here?
19:48I'll call the police.
19:49Oh, no, don't do that.
19:49Just a few blocks.
19:50Don't hurt me.
19:51Don't worry.
19:51I'm not a criminal.
19:52I don't care what you call.
19:54You are a criminal.
19:55Almost everything
19:56about this scene
19:56is unrealistic,
19:58from his fans
19:58literally ripping off
19:59his clothes
20:00to Don scaling
20:01the side of a bus
20:02and landing
20:02in a moving vehicle.
20:03But all is redeemed
20:04by the quippy
20:05back and forth
20:06between Don and Kathy
20:07who is indifferent
20:08to his celebrity status.
20:09Even though Kathy
20:10was hiding the fact
20:11that she was actually
20:12a fan of his at the time,
20:13this initial conversation
20:14drew the actor to her.
20:16And it's hard to forget.
20:17Well, thanks for saving my life.
20:21I'll get out now.
20:22I'm driving to Beverly Hills.
20:23Can I drop you someplace?
20:24Number 13,
20:26Kathleen Kelly and Joe Fox.
20:28You've got mail.
20:29Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
20:30may be best known
20:31for starring together
20:32in the romantic comedy
20:33Sleepless in Seattle,
20:34but they were at it again
20:35in 1998
20:36when they co-starred
20:37in the more modern movie
20:38You've Got Mail.
20:39Dear friend,
20:40I like to start my notes to you
20:42as if we're already
20:43in the middle of a conversation.
20:45I pretend that we're
20:46the oldest and dearest friends
20:47as opposed to what we actually are,
20:49people who don't know
20:50each other's names.
20:51They start out
20:52as internet pen pals,
20:53not realizing that they actually
20:55live in the same
20:56New York neighborhood.
20:56I go online
20:58and my breath catches
21:00in my chest
21:00until I hear
21:01three little words.
21:04You've got mail.
21:06When they meet
21:06for the first time
21:07in real life,
21:07it's at Kathleen's bookstore
21:09and the two don't realize
21:10they're meeting the person
21:11that they've been chatting
21:12with online.
21:13May I ask
21:14who you are?
21:15Kathleen Kelly,
21:16I own this store
21:17and you are?
21:20Joe.
21:21Just call me Joe.
21:22Things take a bad turn
21:23after that,
21:24but it's a rom-com
21:25so you know
21:26there's a happy ending.
21:27Don't cry.
21:28Shop girl.
21:29Number 12.
21:30Jesse Wallace and Celine
21:31Before Sunrise
21:33Do you have any idea
21:34what they were arguing about?
21:35Sometimes when you travel,
21:36you end up stuck
21:37beside the worst of passengers.
21:39You know the ones.
21:40They snore,
21:40they have motion sickness,
21:42they've got an incessantly
21:43crying baby,
21:44but sometimes you luck out.
21:46You might even fall in love.
21:48Do you speak English?
21:49Jesse and Celine
21:50find themselves
21:51on the same train
21:52and are able to strike up
21:53a conversation
21:53after she changes seats
21:55to get away
21:55from a loudly arguing couple.
21:57Have you ever heard
21:58that as couples get older
21:59they lose their ability
22:00to hear each other?
22:02No.
22:03Well, supposedly
22:04men lose their ability
22:06to hear higher pitch sounds
22:07and women eventually
22:09lose hearing on the low end.
22:10Their lives are leading
22:11in totally different directions,
22:12but on a whim
22:13they decide to disembark together
22:14and explore the spark they feel.
22:17A spark that is plainly obvious
22:18to viewers
22:19thanks to the easy rapport
22:20between them.
22:21This is what we should do.
22:22You should get off the train
22:22with me here in Vienna
22:23and come check out the town.
22:24What?
22:25Come on, it'll be fun.
22:26It also helps
22:27that they're both
22:27incredibly attractive.
22:29Admit it.
22:29One smile from either
22:31Julie Delpy or Ethan Hawke
22:32and you'd get off the train
22:33with him or her too.
22:3511.
22:36Iris Simpkins and Arthur Abbott
22:38The Holiday
22:39We didn't say
22:40all the meet-cutes
22:40had to be romantic.
22:42In the Christmas movie
22:43The Holiday,
22:43Kate Winslet's character
22:45Iris switches homes
22:46with Cameron Diaz's
22:47character Amanda
22:48and finds herself spending
22:49the holiday season
22:50in Los Angeles.
22:51Okay, we are on.
22:54Two weeks.
22:56Starting tomorrow.
22:57One day when she's driving
22:58around her new neighborhood,
23:00she spots an elderly man
23:01who seems lost.
23:02She offers him a lift home.
23:03Hello.
23:05Can I offer you
23:06a lift home?
23:08Why?
23:09You know where I live?
23:11I believe I do, yes.
23:13Good.
23:14Then that makes one of us.
23:15And soon discovers
23:16that he's a renowned
23:17Hollywood screenwriter.
23:18Well, this was some
23:19meet-cutes.
23:21Sorry?
23:22It's how two characters
23:23meet in a movie.
23:25The reason this scene
23:25is so memorable
23:26is that he identifies
23:27their meeting
23:28as a meet-cute
23:28and explains to her
23:30exactly what the term means.
23:32Well, goodbye then.
23:35I enjoyed our meet-cute.
23:37Well, thank you.
23:38Thank you for rescuing me.
23:40Number 10.
23:40Prince Kit and Ella
23:42Cinderella
23:42Are you all right?
23:44I'm all right,
23:45but you've nearly
23:45frightened the life
23:46out of him.
23:47This is a tale
23:48that has been retold
23:48time and time again.
23:50Similarly,
23:50the first meeting
23:51between Cinderella
23:52and Prince Charming
23:53has changed
23:54from version to version.
23:55In the animated Disney film,
23:57the two first meet
23:58at the ball
23:58when she's disguised
23:59as a beautiful princess.
24:01In this 2015 live-action
24:02version of the fairy tale,
24:03however,
24:04Ella meets Kit
24:05in the forest.
24:06Miss,
24:07what do they call you?
24:10Never mind
24:10what they call me.
24:11She doesn't know
24:12he's a prince
24:12and she's just
24:13some normal girl to him.
24:15And yet,
24:15they still hit it off,
24:16proving that this couple's
24:17love really is legit.
24:18We must
24:19simply have courage
24:22and be kind.
24:24Mustn't we?
24:26Yes.
24:26You're right.
24:29Number 9.
24:30John Tyree
24:31and Savannah Lynn Curtis
24:32Dear John,
24:34You can definitely
24:35count on a
24:35Nicholas Sparks movie
24:36for a good meet-cute.
24:38John is a soldier
24:38on leave
24:39surfing at the beach
24:40when he sees a group
24:41of young people
24:41on the pier.
24:42One of the girls
24:52accidentally drops
24:53her purse into the water
24:54and while her male
24:55companion takes
24:56the long way around
24:57to go get it,
24:58John jumps right in
24:59to retrieve it for her.
25:08It's a bold
25:09and romantic gesture
25:10for someone
25:11he's never met before.
25:12But of course,
25:13this is just the beginning
25:14of their dramatic
25:14love story.
25:15Thank you so much.
25:18Who checks up
25:19the 20th up here?
25:20Wow.
25:21Heck.
25:21Ugh.
25:22Gosh, what a mess.
25:23You are a lifesaver.
25:25I'm Savannah.
25:27John.
25:27Number 8.
25:28William Will Thacker
25:29and Anna Scott
25:30Notting Hill
25:31That book's really
25:32not great.
25:34Will is an awkward,
25:35bumbling,
25:35but also unrealistically
25:37good-looking bookshop owner
25:38who's caught off guard
25:39when movie star
25:40Anna Scott,
25:41played by romantic comedy
25:42veteran Julia Roberts,
25:44walks into his store.
25:45Um, can I help you talk?
25:48No, thanks.
25:49I'll just look around.
25:52Fine.
25:53Initially,
25:54she seems utterly
25:55uninterested in him
25:56as he tries to make
25:57book suggestions for her.
25:58But then she smiles at him
26:00and lets him babble on
26:01at the cash register.
26:02I'll tell you what,
26:02I'll throw in one of those
26:03for free.
26:04Useful server.
26:06Lighting fire.
26:07Wrapping fish.
26:08That sort of thing.
26:09It seems like
26:09they'll never meet again,
26:10but he later runs into her
26:11on the street,
26:12showering her with his drink.
26:14After washing up at his house,
26:15Anna kisses him.
26:16Normally,
26:17that would be strange,
26:18but Hugh Grant
26:19is pretty irresistible,
26:21and we can't help but root
26:22for these two to get together.
26:23Oh my god.
26:24My flatmate.
26:25I'm sorry,
26:26there's no excuse for him.
26:31Hi.
26:32Just go to the kitchen
26:33and get some food.
26:34Then I'm gonna tell you
26:36a story that'll make
26:37your balls shrink
26:37to the size of raisins.
26:39Number 7.
26:40Harry Burns and Sally Albright
26:42When Harry Met Sally
26:43Oh, hi Sally.
26:45Sally, this is Harry Burns.
26:47Harry, this is Sally Albright.
26:48Spending 18 hours trapped
26:50in a car together
26:51is definitely a good way
26:52to get to know someone fast.
26:54Harry and Sally
26:54are college graduates
26:55who end up carpooling
26:56between Chicago
26:57and New York together
26:58in 1977.
26:59Harry is Sally's
27:18friend's boyfriend,
27:19and the two spend
27:19the entire drive
27:20talking about everything,
27:22including how Harry
27:23thinks men and women
27:24can't be friends.
27:24You realize, of course,
27:26that we could never be friends.
27:27Why not?
27:29What I'm saying is,
27:30and this is not a come on
27:32in any way, shape, or form,
27:33is that men and women
27:34can't be friends
27:35because the sex part
27:36always gets in the way.
27:37They may not be best friends
27:38at the end of their journey,
27:40but over the years,
27:41as they keep meeting
27:42over and over again,
27:43Harry is proven right,
27:44at least in their case.
27:46I really hate you.
27:47I hate you.
27:51I hate you.
27:53I hate you.
27:57I hate you.
28:00Number 6.
28:01Jonathan Traeger
28:02and Sarah Thomas
28:03Serendipity
28:04I'm sorry.
28:05Sorry.
28:06Usually when two shoppers
28:07fight over the same item,
28:09chaos ensues.
28:10Voices are raised,
28:12punches are thrown,
28:13but this isn't the case
28:14with Jonathan and Sarah,
28:15who both reach
28:16for the same pair
28:17of cashmere gloves
28:18at Bloomingdale's.
28:19Instead,
28:20they bond over the experience
28:21and end up going
28:22for a frozen hot chocolate
28:23together,
28:24despite both being
28:25in relationships
28:25with other people.
28:26This is the ultimate blend
28:28to drink.
28:29Where do you find this place?
28:30I first came in
28:31because of the name.
28:32Serendipity.
28:33It's one of my favorite words.
28:34They leave without
28:35exchanging any contact information.
28:37Years later,
28:38Jonathan uses the glove
28:39as a way to try
28:40and find Sarah again.
28:41Luckily,
28:42they do find each other
28:43in the end,
28:44but even if they hadn't,
28:45at least they would always
28:46have had a funny story
28:47about falling in love
28:48in the middle
28:48of a busy department store.
28:50I'm chatting.
28:50I'm Sarah.
28:55Number 5.
28:56Elizabeth Bennet
28:57and Fitzwilliam Darcy
28:58Pride and Prejudice
28:59So which of the painted
29:01peacocks is Aunt Mr. Bingham?
29:02Well, he's on the right
29:03and on the left
29:03is his sister.
29:05Not only is this
29:05one of the best movie
29:06meet-cutes,
29:07but one of the best
29:08meet-cutes in all of fiction.
29:10Can you dance,
29:11Mr. Darcy?
29:11Not if I can help it.
29:12In the classic tale
29:13of Pride and Prejudice,
29:15Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet
29:16meet at a dance,
29:17and Darcy offends Elizabeth
29:19by making negative remarks
29:20about her.
29:20Fairly tolerable,
29:22I dare say.
29:23Not handsome enough
29:24to tempt me.
29:24There have been
29:25countless interpretations
29:26of this scene,
29:27but the 2005 version
29:29starring Keira Knightley
29:30and Matthew McFadyen
29:32is our favorite.
29:33Count your blessings, Lizzie.
29:35If he liked you,
29:36you'd have to talk to him.
29:38Precisely.
29:39While this may be
29:40the furthest thing
29:41from love at first sight,
29:42it almost makes their romance
29:44all the more believable.
29:45Number 4.
29:46Noah Calhoun
29:47and Allison Allie Hamilton
29:49The Notebook
29:50Who's this girl with Sarah?
29:52Her name's Allie Hamilton.
29:53Just so it's clear,
29:54we do not condone
29:55climbing a Ferris wheel
29:56to ask the girl you like
29:57out on a date,
29:58but when Ryan Gosling
29:59does it in a movie,
30:00we'll allow it.
30:01When Noah first sees
30:02Allie on the bumper cars,
30:04you can see it in his eyes
30:05that it's love at first sight.
30:06The feelings are not
30:07mutual for Allie, though,
30:08who is at the carnival
30:09with another guy.
30:11Noah, you got out of me?
30:12What?
30:14No.
30:15No?
30:15No.
30:17No.
30:17Hey, Pat.
30:18She just told you.
30:19Why not?
30:20I don't know,
30:20because I don't want to.
30:22Noah!
30:23All right,
30:23well, you leave me
30:24no other choice then.
30:26Oh my God!
30:27I'm not kidding,
30:28Noah!
30:28Stop fooling around!
30:29What are you doing?
30:30Noah appears to be
30:31so smitten with this stranger
30:32that he's willing to do
30:34whatever it takes
30:34to get her to consider him.
30:36Of course,
30:36hanging from the Ferris wheel bar
30:38is stupid and reckless,
30:39but it does get Allie
30:40to go out with him,
30:41and that's all that matters
30:42for this big screen story
30:43to play out.
30:44You're not so cocky now,
30:45are you?
30:46I'm gonna get you four.
30:48Number three,
30:49Forrest Gump and Jenny Curran.
30:50Forrest Gump.
30:52Not all meet cutes
30:53end happily ever after.
30:54As Forrest Gump sits
30:55on a park bench
30:56reminiscing about his life,
30:57he recalls the moment
30:58he met his beloved Jenny.
31:00I don't recall
31:01what I got
31:01for my first Christmas,
31:02and I don't know
31:03when I went
31:03on my first outdoor picnic,
31:06but I do remember
31:08the first time
31:09I heard the sweetest voice
31:11in the wide world.
31:13As he boarded the school bus
31:14and looked for a place to sit,
31:16she offered him a spot
31:17beside her
31:17when no one else would.
31:18Well, I'm gonna sit down,
31:20aren't you?
31:24He was touched
31:25when she seemed curious
31:26about his life,
31:27since according to him,
31:28no one but his mother
31:29asked him questions.
31:30I just sat next to her
31:31on that bus
31:32and had a conversation
31:33all the way to school.
31:35Their relationship
31:35may have been a troubled one
31:37fraught with tragedy,
31:38but we'll always remember
31:39this adorable first meeting
31:40and how they went together
31:41like peas and carrots.
31:43I'm Jenny.
31:45I'm Forrest,
31:46Forrest Gump.
31:47From that day on,
31:48we was always together.
31:49Jenny and me
31:50was like peas and carrots.
31:52Number 2.
31:53Romeo Montague
31:54and Juliet Capulet.
31:55Romeo and Juliet.
31:56I don't kiss my lips.
31:58That place will poison
32:00the end to hang on.
32:01If you can forget
32:02that this love story
32:03ends in tragedy,
32:04then the first time
32:05Romeo and Juliet
32:06lock eyes
32:06is nothing short of magical.
32:08The young boy
32:09sneaks into a party
32:10held by his family's
32:11sworn enemy,
32:12the Capulets,
32:13but the first thing
32:13he notices after
32:14going to the restroom
32:15is a giant aquarium
32:16of fish.
32:17Juliet is on the other
32:18side of the tank
32:19and the two soon
32:20lock eyes
32:20and then gaze flirtatiously
32:22at one another
32:23with the fish
32:23in between them.
32:24There's nothing cuter
32:35than young love
32:35at first sight
32:36and it's even more
32:37memorable because
32:38this is the only
32:39interaction between
32:39the star-crossed lovers
32:40where they are still
32:41completely innocent
32:42and unburdened
32:43by their feuding families.
32:47Madam,
32:48your mother calls.

33:19Bucator
33:20Titanic
33:21Some meet-cutes
33:22are definitely
33:23darker than others.
33:24In James Cameron's
33:251997 epic
33:27Titanic,
33:28Rose feels trapped
33:29in the life
33:29she's been handed

33:31left to live for
33:31when she decides
33:32to throw herself
33:33off the edge of the ship
33:34into the frigid
33:35Atlantic below.
33:36Don't do it.

33:46convincing her
33:47to reconsider her choice.
