00:00Never before have two souls joined so freely...
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for moments where one or more characters fall in
00:13love in a flash.
00:14We're excluding scenes from Disney movies, which already have their own list.
00:19Since some of these moments involve significant plot details, a spoiler alert is in order.
00:24This was honest to God. No kidding, sure enough. Once in a lifetime.
00:31Love, at first sight.
00:34Number 30. What kind of bird are you? Moonrise Kingdom.
00:43What kind of bird are you?
00:45Love at first sight might seem like a childish concept.
00:48While Moonrise Kingdom centers on a young couple, they're more mature than most of the adults on the island.
00:53The introverted yet precocious Sam feels out of place on New Penzance, until he attends a performance of Noah's Flood.
01:00Just as Noah was asked to assemble two of every animal, there is someone out there for Sam.
01:05Of all the birds in the play, Sam is drawn to Susie, who's a raven in more ways than one.
01:11I'm a sparrow, she's a dog.
01:13No, I said, what kind of bird are you?
01:20I'm a raven.
01:22So is Sam, prompting them to become pen pals before running away together.
01:27Although some may see their love as naive, Sam and Susie know who they are and what they want.
01:32What they want is each other.
01:34What's your name?
01:36Sam, what's yours?
01:37I'm Susie.
01:41Number 29.
01:43La Vie en Rose.
01:44A Star is Born.
01:45Is she really singing though, or is it one of those karaoke things?
01:50For Jackson Maine, he doesn't just fall in love at first sight.
01:54Allie's voice also has him instantly mesmerized when they encounter each other at a drag bar by chance.
01:59Bradley Cooper knew that Lady Gaga was right for the role after hearing her perform La Vie en Rose.
02:04This mirrors the on-screen couple's introduction.
02:07Allie puts her own spin on Edith Piaf's signature song, convincing Jackson that she's destined for stardom.
02:26In every version of this timeless story, we see how quickly new love can escalate,
02:31going from innocent beginnings to tragic endings.
02:34Jackson and Allie's story is no different.
02:37If he could do it all over again though, we doubt Jackson would take back that moment when Allie first
02:42looked at him.
02:43It's true for me, I'll pour the water in the river.
02:50He's going to laugh, play for the whole life.
03:01Number 28.
03:03There's something about Mary, about time.
03:05Tim and Mary's first meeting is unique for a few reasons.
03:08Seated in a darkly lit bar, the two strangers can't even see each other as they start flirting.
03:14While there's an adorable connection from the get-go,
03:17Tim isn't sure whether this mystery woman looks more like Kate Moss or a squirrel.
03:21Okay, gentlemen, if you don't mind, I can sit you here beside these two young ladies.
03:26No, no, sounds absolutely perfect.
03:28Oh God, you sound very perky.
03:30I am, and very handsome.
03:33Oh, someone's there.
03:35Hi.
03:35Tim finds it's the former as they reconvene outside.
03:38If Tim wasn't in love already, he is now.
03:51The bad news is that Tim loses track of Mary's phone number.
03:56The good news is that Tim can travel through time.
03:58It's a family thing.
03:59Even then, Tim has to take some extra steps to find Mary again.
04:03It's worth it, allowing him to fall in love at first sight more than once.
04:07It's her.
04:11That's her.
04:13Ha-ha!

04:24It's lose-lose, you know.
04:25You piss off all the ones you don't pick,
04:27and then you end up hating the one you do pick because he makes a bad speech and ruins the
04:30day.
04:30Do you want to see these puppies or not?
04:32Number 27.
04:34Sarah's photo, The Terminator.
04:45Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese are another interesting case of love at first sight.
04:49When Reese first lays eyes on Sarah, it isn't face-to-face.
04:53A soldier from a post-apocalyptic future,
04:56Reese only knows Sarah from a photo taken before Skynet's rise.
05:00Although time separates them, Sarah's photo gives Reese hope.
05:03When a Terminator is sent back in time to kill Sarah,
05:06who will give birth to Resistance leader John Connor,
05:09Reese volunteers to protect the woman he's loved from afar.
05:12John Connor gave me a picture of you once.
05:16I didn't know why at the time.
05:20It's very old.
05:23Torn.
05:25Faded.
05:31Despite initially thinking he's crazy, it isn't long until Sarah believes Reese.
05:36She also falls in love with Reese, who doesn't realize he's destined to become John's father.
05:41The story comes full circle as Sarah heads into a storm with a newly taken photo.
05:54Number 26, On the Bus, A Bronx Tale.
06:06Calogero, or C, grows up in a predominantly Italian-American neighborhood during the 1960s.
06:12When African-Americans pass by, Calogero's friends spout racist remarks.
06:16Regardless, a black girl named Jane captures Calogero's eye while riding his father's bus.
06:34Without even saying a word to one another, the chemistry is explosive.
06:39Given the time, Calogero knows that approaching this young woman will be met with extreme prejudice.
06:44Not just from those in his neighborhood, but from Jane's as well.
06:48When fate brings them together again, though, Calogero is done watching.
06:52He has to talk to Jane, and she's glad he did.
06:56You go to this school?
06:58I'm Jane.
07:00Jane, that's it? That's your name?
07:02Yeah. What's wrong with that?
07:04No, no, no, nothing, nothing. It's a great name. I love that name.
07:07I just moved here.
07:08It's unclear what will ultimately become of their courtship, but Calogero can tell that Jane is bound to be one
07:14of the great ones.
07:16Number 25. Good Morning, Princess. Life is Beautiful.
07:30This tragic comedy starts like a fairy tale before the real-world horrors of the Holocaust take over.
07:36Even then, the film is about finding the beauty that helps humanity persevere under the ugliest circumstances.
07:42The second part wouldn't work if the first didn't do such an effective job at making us care so deeply
07:48about these characters.
07:49That said, the picture wins you over from the moment that Dora falls into Guido's life.
08:03Guido is a comical optimist who loves to play make-believe.
08:07This is evident from his first brush with Dora, behaving like a prince who has finally met his princess.
08:13Dora not only finds Guido's antics charming, but they'll be the key to their future son's survival.
08:18Basta, Comodino!
08:21Questo Comodino sembra molto sporco.
08:25Buongiorno, Principessa!
08:28Number 24. Elevator Encounter. Bound.
08:33Thanks.
08:38Released from prison, Corky finds work doing renovations at an apartment where she meets Violet, who lives with the wealthy
08:45yet violent Caesar.
08:46At first glance, Corky and Violet seem very different, one constantly getting her hands dirty while the other lives a
08:53luxurious lifestyle.
08:54From the instant they exchange glances in an elevator, though, Corky and Violet can see that they're cut from the
08:59same cloth.
09:02Hi. My name's Violet. We sort of met on the elevator.
09:07Sure, I'm Corky.
09:10Corky? Well, I heard you're working in here and I was just wondering if you'd like a cup of coffee.
09:15Both are trapped, with Violet stuck in an abusive relationship and Corky struggling to make a better life for herself.
09:22Upon meeting properly, it's apparent that these two are soulmates who will fight like hell to live happily ever after
09:28together.
09:28Their relationship laid the groundwork for many of the themes that became prevalent in the Wachowskis' filmography.
09:35I'm not apologizing for what I did. I'm apologizing for what I didn't do.
09:44Number 23. Bailing Out Miss Brown.
09:47Jackie Brown.
09:58Robert Forster's Oscar-nominated performance in Jackie Brown is the definition of acting is reacting.
10:05Forster's Max is an understated man who nonetheless gets a lot across through the subtlest gestures.
10:10Perhaps the best example is when Max meets the film's titular character.
10:14A bail bondsman, Max is tasked with getting Jackie Brown out of the joint after a smuggling job goes south.
10:21Shot from a distance, the flight attendant walks towards the gate with Max waiting on the other side.
10:26The closer she gets, the more fixated Max becomes.
10:44The look on Max's face and Quentin Tarantino's music selection say it all.
10:49Max keeps it cool, although on the inside, he's knocked out.
10:53You're really a bail bondsman?
10:57Well, who do you think I am?
10:59I showed you my card in there.
11:01Can I see my date?
11:03Number 22. When Kermit Met Piggy. The Muppet Movie.
11:07And here she is, folks. This year's Miss Bogan County, Miss Piggy!
11:18While their relationship had already been established on the small screen,
11:22this movie within a movie gives us an idea of how Kermit and Miss Piggy met.
11:26All eyes are on the pig at a county fair, but hers are drawn to a frog in the crowd.
11:31Where Kermit is infatuated, Piggy loses herself in a musical dream sequence.
11:36Souls join so freely and so fast.
11:41For me, this is the first time and the last.
11:47Initially, Johnny Mathis was going to sing this love ballad.
11:50Although Jim Henson decided that it would be funnier if Piggy performed it,
11:55the imagery is every bit as hilarious,
11:57as Piggy envisions herself and Kermit sharing an epic romance.
12:01After the fantasy is over, the real romance begins.
12:04Of course, normally I don't do anything so trivial.
12:08I am an actress model.
12:11Oh, is that right?
12:11We'd never seen a couple like this one.
12:13And we may never again.
12:15We're looking...
12:38Number 21.
12:39Seeing each other.
12:41City Lights.
12:41Love at First Sight lends itself to silent cinema, which relies on simple storytelling and the ability to condense a
12:48monologue's worth of emotion into a single expression.
12:51One of cinema's loveliest romances bloomed between Charlie Chaplin's Tramp and Virginia Cheryl's Flower Girl.
13:14The Tramp is eager to impress the beautiful woman in his presence.
13:18The Flower Girl doesn't know what the Tramp looks like, as he realizes she's blind.
13:22A misunderstanding leads her to believe that he's wealthy.
13:25The Tramp nonetheless spends much of City Lights trying to reunite with this woman.
13:29When she finally realizes the Tramp isn't rich, the Flower Girl sees him for the first time.
13:35In a way, she's always seen him, knowing he was a kind soul.
14:03Number 20. A Leading Lady. The Truman Show.
14:06Good morning, Truman.
14:07Hey, how are you guys?
14:09Beautiful day, isn't it?
14:10Always.
14:11Even though Truman is an unwitting reality star living in a thoroughly fake world, it doesn't mean he's resigned to
14:17fate.
14:18This becomes clear in one scene where he first lays eyes on Sylvia.
14:26She's only an extra in the production, but she captures his attention in a way that his predestined love interest
14:32Meryl is unable to.
14:34I'm so sorry to fall on you like that.
14:35The film is a psychological comedy drama, but it also has a strong romantic element that's established in this scene.
14:42With a duo locking eyes across their college campus, the connection between them is obvious.
14:47And even though they don't immediately get together, the moment seems to push Sylvia to join the movement to free
14:53Truman.
14:58Number 19. The Thunderbolt. The Godfather.
15:06This epic crime flick is a classic for a reason.
15:09And this scene has one of its most beautiful moments.
15:12For one, it's visually stunning.
15:14Michael Corleone, son of Mafia boss Vito, is in the gorgeous Sicilian countryside when he meets Apollonia.
15:21The young woman emerges from a pastoral scene in a dress that makes her stand out.
15:25Michael is a deer in headlights when he sees her.
15:28And it's immediately clear that the couple has some sort of future together.
15:37Unfortunately, being involved in a complex crime syndicate isn't exactly conducive to a peaceful relationship.
15:44And indeed, fans of the series know that the duo doesn't have a happy ending.
15:50No! No, I belong!
15:56Number 18. Birdsong. Sweeney Todd. The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
16:03Ring, pinch and lift, bolt, night and leave.
16:06Tim Burton directed this adaptation of the stage musical, and it contains his signature blend of darkness and romanticism.
16:13It focuses on the Demon Barber and his relationships, but the film's most heartwarming moment doesn't actually involve him.
16:20Rather, it's his old friend Anthony's first encounter with Todd's daughter, Joanna.
16:24Remains staring at the rain, buttoned by the stars.
16:31Now the ward of the corrupt Judge Turpin, Joanna sits in front of a window singing one day.
16:36She catches Anthony's attention, who looks up to her from the street.
16:40The longing in their faces is palpable and marks a moment of hope in an otherwise macabre story.
16:46Number 17. Counting Sheep. The Quiet Man.
16:49Leading man John Wayne might be known for his work in westerns, but he's just as good in this romantic
16:55comedy drama set in Ireland.
16:57Sean Thornton, an Irish immigrant in America, returns home to deal with family business.
17:02Although he's there for work, he's not exactly immune from distractions.
17:13One day, not long after his arrival, he strolls into a roadside grove for a cigarette.
17:18To his surprise, he sees a ravishing redhead herding a group of sheep.
17:23She wordlessly looks back at him not one, but five times.
17:28Shark!
17:32The actor's stares are intense, but the scene's true accomplishment is visual.
17:37As Mary-Kate Danaher recedes into a meadow, the moment takes on an unforgettable dream-like quality.
17:43Number 16. Trapeze, if you please. The Greatest Showman.
17:47Go to the other side.
17:50It's not unusual for Love at First sight scenes to take place between a performer and a spectator,
17:55but in this musical drama, the love connection occurs between colleagues working in P.T. Barnum's Namesake Circus.
18:01Zac Efron plays Philip Carlyle, a young man in charge of publicizing the show,
18:06while Zendaya plays a talented acrobat in the company's employ.
18:14During one performance, their eyes meet ever so briefly while she swings on a trapeze.
18:20The way the scene is shot is part of what makes it so special.
18:23In slow motion, we see Anne Wheeler's grace and strength on display,
18:27but the effect also extends the character's eye contact,
18:30conveying the intense emotions they're feeling.
18:33What is your act, Mr. Carlyle?
18:35I don't have an act.
18:39Everyone's got an act.
18:40Number 15. The Sparkling Diamond. Moulin Rouge.
18:44They delight in fighting duels.
18:49But someone else was to meet Satine that night.
18:53This movie focuses on a love triangle between cabaret performer Satine and her two romantic interests.
18:59Interestingly, they both stare at her intently during her performance of Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.
19:05A kiss on the hand.
19:07Oh my.
19:08My continental.
19:09But Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.
19:12But while one has affection in his eyes, the other isn't exactly the loving type.
19:18Ewan McGregor's Christian is a bright-eyed writer fascinated with the Parisian underground,
19:22and he's the perfect foil for the conniving duke.
19:25I've arranged a private meeting just you and Mademoiselle Satine totally alone.
19:30Alone?
19:31Yes.
19:32Totally alone.
19:34It might not be obvious, but this stunning moment captures the stakes of the entire film.
19:39And if that weren't enough, Satine's captivating act has our eyes glued to the screen, too.
19:45Number 14. There Goes the Bride. Imagine Me and You.
19:49I did your flowers.
19:50Oh, did you? Oh, well, they're fabulous.
19:53If there's a classic trajectory in romance movies, you might say it begins with love at first sight and ends
19:59with a wedding.
19:59But this film totally flips that script.
20:02Rachel is a bride walking down the aisle in her own nuptials when she spots Luce.
20:11She's clearly taken with the florist, but when she does a double-take, the latter has disappeared.
20:17Little does she realize Luce is now behind her, reciprocating her longing stare.
20:22Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God.
20:27In the blink of an eye, the poetic moment establishes the film's central conflict.
20:31It's no wonder this flick focuses on love at first sight.
20:34Its original title, Click, was based on the French expression for this concept.
20:39Number 13. The Support Group. The Fault in Our Stars.
20:43Sorry.
20:45I'm in.
20:47This movie is definitely heartbreaking, but it has its fair share of utterly romantic moments as well.
20:53One of these is Hazel Grace Lancaster's first encounter with Augustus Waters,
20:57a fellow cancer patient who will profoundly change her life.
21:00After literally bumping into one another, they meet at a support group.
21:04Not most people's idea of a swoon-worthy first date.
21:07So if you want to start, who wants to kick it off?
21:12Go ahead.
21:14I bet I have spendous sarcoma.
21:17But considering Hazel's difficult circumstances,
21:20it's heartening that she runs into someone special on her very first therapy visit.
21:24When two star-crossed lovers meet, they don't always make an immediate connection.
21:28Oblivion's inevitable.
21:29And if that scares you, then I suggest you ignore it.
21:33God knows it's what everyone else does.
21:35But from the way this pair's eyes linger ever so slightly,
21:39it's clear there's something going on.
21:41And Gus certainly isn't shy when it comes to eye contact during the meeting itself.
21:52Sure, Noah's way of asking Allie out at the carnival makes for an incredibly iconic movie scene.
22:00However, his first glimpse of his true love is also extremely romantic.
22:06As the lumber mill worker is informed of Allie's presence in town,
22:09he watches her driving a bumper car.
22:11Her laughter and free spirit are infectious,
22:14and a smile creeps across his face.
22:19It'd be hard to guess the dramatic events that transpire from here on out,
22:23beginning with Noah's way of proposing a date.
22:26But it's already obvious from this moment that his relationship with Allie
22:29is going to be one for the ages.
22:32Number 11.
22:33This One Girl
22:34Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
22:39Witty, mysterious, and drop-dead gorgeous,
22:43Ramona Flowers is the definition of a dream girl.
22:46We can't blame Scott Pilgrim for falling head over heels from the minute he lays eyes on her,
22:50which he actually does on three separate occasions before ever exchanging words.
23:03Crushing his plastic cup at a party,
23:05Scott finally approaches the ninja delivery girl and strikes up a conversation about,
23:09what else, Pac-Man.
23:11Hey, what's up?
23:13Nothing.
23:14Hey, you know Pac-Man?
23:15I know of him.
23:17Well, Pac-Man was originally called Puck-Man.
23:21They changed it because,
23:23not because Pac-Man looks like a hockey puck,
23:25Pacu-Paku means flap your mouth,
23:27and that they were worried people would scratch out the P,
23:31turn it into an F, like...
23:36Yeah, that's amazing.
23:38Unsurprisingly, Ramona isn't immediately won over by the timid Scott.
23:42Although he gets rejected,
23:44Scott isn't willing to give up on the girl he met once upon a dream.
23:48Dude!
23:49What?
23:49She's totally real.
23:50Who?
23:50Ramona Flowers.
23:51The scene wonderfully establishes their relationship
23:54with just the right balance of comedy,
23:56awkward charm,
23:57and pop culture trivia.
23:59Am I dreaming?
24:02I'll leave you alone forever now.
24:04Thanks.
24:05Number 10.
24:06Everything Becomes Clear.
24:08Back to the Future, Part 3.
24:10Hey, Scott!
24:13Being a man of science,
24:15Doc Brown doesn't believe in love at first sight.
24:17As a matter of fact,
24:19romance is the furthest thing from his mind.
24:21However, this all changes when he meets Clara Clayton.
24:24Stuck in 1885,
24:26Doc and Marty stumble upon a runaway wagon with a damsel inside.
24:30Doc pulls off a daring rescue just in the nick of time,
24:33altering history.
24:34When Clara lifts her hat and reveals her face,
24:37Doc feels as if he's been stricken with a bolt of lightning.
24:39Likewise, Clara is equally smitten with her rescuer.
24:43I'm the brown at your service, miss.
24:46I'm...
24:48I'm...
24:49Clayton.
24:51Clara Clayton.
24:53Cute and corny,
24:54while also being exciting and humorous,
24:57this first encounter perfectly demonstrates the power of love.
25:00What a beautiful name.
25:02It really is a curious thing.
25:04Number 9.
25:05A heart full of love.
25:18Les Miserables.
25:20Love at first sight isn't exactly an everyday occurrence.
25:23Then again,
25:24neither is sporadically breaking out into song.
25:26Thus, the suspension of disbelief is required in a musical like Les Miserables.
25:40Since the music and romance here hit just the right note,
25:44we're more than willing to go along for the ride.
25:46The first exchange between Cosette and Marius is brief,
25:49but it still manages to be poignant, uplifting, and utterly romantic.
26:01With an instrumental version of One Day More playing in the background,
26:05these two lock eyes and are sent into a dream-like state.
26:09Marius becomes overwhelmed with a heart full of love,
26:12which sadly leaves poor Eponine heartbroken.
26:15Eponine!
26:16Number 8.
26:17Boy Meets Girl.
26:18500 Days of Summer.
26:20What do you think, Hanson?
26:21Could you write up some prototypes for these?
26:23In the Northern Hemisphere,
26:25the summer solstice can occur any time between June 20th and June 22nd.
26:29For Tom Hanson, however,
26:31summer begins on January 8th.
26:33Why?
26:33Because this is the day he meets Summer Finn.
26:36Everyone, this is Summer, my new assistant.
26:39Summer just moved here from...
26:41Michigan.
26:42Right, Michigan, right.
26:44Tom is quickly enticed by his boss's new assistant,
26:47although he doesn't even speak to her.
26:49Nevertheless, he can see that Summer isn't just another girl.
26:53It's nice to meet you all.
26:57Tom has a feeling that fate will bring him and Summer together,
27:00marking the beginning of a beautiful love story.
27:03Cue their encounter in the elevator a few days later.
27:07I love the Smiths.
27:09Of course, Tom also believes that The Graduate ends on a happy note.
27:13And a total misreading of the movie The Graduate.
27:18In other words, he doesn't understand women or romance.
27:22To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die.
27:26I love them.
27:27Number 7.
27:28A Christmas Carol, Carol.
27:30I wonder if you might help me find this doll for my daughter.
27:34Set in the 1950s,
27:36Carol takes place during an era when homosexuality was widely considered taboo.
27:41Because of this, Carol and Therese rarely discuss the nature of their relationship.
27:45Through subtle body language, though,
27:47we can always tell what these two are thinking.
27:49From the moment Carol and Therese meet in a department store,
27:52the audience senses a strong bond.
27:55But I'm afraid we're all out of stock.
27:58Left it too long.
28:00Seeking a Christmas present for her daughter,
28:03the stylish Carol approaches the modest store clerk.
28:06Thus ensues a friendly conversation full of understated sexual tension.
28:10What was your favorite doll when you were four?
28:13Me?
28:15I never...
28:16Not many, to be honest.
28:20I'm sorry, you're not allowed to smoke on the sales floor.
28:25Of all...
28:26Forgive me, shopping makes me nervous.
28:29That's alright, working here makes me nervous.
28:32You're very kind.
28:33Carol then departs, but forgets to pick up her gloves.
28:37We can't help but wonder if she subconsciously left the gloves behind on purpose
28:41in hopes of seeing Therese again.
28:43Merry Christmas.
28:44Merry Christmas.
28:49I like that.
28:56I remember the bus ride on the first day of school.
28:59Very well.
29:01Forrest Gump's incredible story wouldn't be complete without a touch of romance.
29:05Our titular hero meets the love of his life on his first day of school.
29:09Boarding the bus, Forrest is deemed an outcast for being different.
29:13It's tiger.
29:17Tiger.
29:26I can't sit here.
29:27The only classmate that offers him a place to sit is Jenny, who wins Forrest over with
29:32her kindness, beauty, and sweet voice.
29:35I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in the wide world.
29:41You can sit here if you want.
29:46I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life.
29:51She was like an angel.
29:53While Forrest isn't the brightest bulb, Jenny can see that he's a sincere human being in
29:58need of a friend.
29:59These two simply exemplify young love in the purest sense, with the memory sticking with
30:04Forrest well into his adult years.
30:06Are you stupid or something?
30:08I'm as stupid as a stupid does.
30:12I'm Jenny.
30:14I'm Forrest.
30:15Forrest Gump.
30:16Even when they're separated for extended periods, his love for Jenny never dwindles.
30:22She taught me how to climb.
30:24Come on, Forrest.
30:25You can do it.
30:27I showed her how to dangle.
30:30Good little mom.
30:31She helped me learn how to read.
30:34And I showed her how to swing.
30:39Sometimes we just sit out, wait for the stars.
30:43Number five.
30:44A meeting to remember.
30:45Sleepless in Seattle.
30:47I left her by the telescopes.
30:53Although they're on completely separate paths, Annie feels a powerful connection to Sam upon
30:59hearing him bare his soul on the radio.
31:01Maggie.
31:03My wife.
31:04She really did it.
31:07I mean, she loved it.
31:10She made everything beautiful.
31:15It's just tough this time of year.
31:18Annie here needs a mother.
31:20Likewise, Sam is drawn to Annie after seeing her get off an airplane.
31:24While they have a couple of close encounters throughout this romantic comedy, Sam and Annie
31:29don't officially meet until the final scene.
31:32With some help from Sam's son, the two wind up atop the Empire State Building on Valentine's
31:37Day.
31:37It's you.
31:38It's me.
31:40I saw you in the street.
31:43Are you Annie?
31:46Yes.
31:49Both know that it's crazy and unrealistic to fall in love with someone you barely know.
31:54Looking into each other's eyes, however, neither can deny their true feelings.
31:58After waiting so long to see these two come together, this ending delivers everything the
32:03audience had hoped for.
32:04Number 4.
32:06A Rose by any other name.
32:08Titanic.
32:08I'm Tommy Ryan.
32:10Jack Dawson.
32:11Hello.
32:11Described as the ship of dreams, the RMS Titanic provides the backdrop for Jack and Rose's
32:16epic love story in this movie.
32:18A penniless artist, Jack is immediately drawn to the aristocratic redhead.
32:23Staring off into the ocean, Rose longs to break free from her confined lifestyle and
32:27loveless engagement.
32:29Oh, forget it, boy.
32:31You just like how the angels fly out of your arses get next to the likes of her.
32:35Although his friends insist that he doesn't have a shot with her, Jack is too captivated
32:39to simply let social barriers separate them.
32:42From that moment forward, our hero carries a torch for the lovely Rose.
32:45No matter what forces drive them apart, nothing can put out the flame that ignites their eternal
32:51love.
32:51The result is a romance for the ages.
32:55Where to miss?
32:59To the stars.
33:01Number 3.
33:02Time Stops.
33:03Big Fish.
33:04Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, thank you all for coming.
33:09Director Tim Burton has given us some of the most beautiful and strangest romances of the
33:14past couple of decades.
33:15In Big Fish, Burton once again captures the sensation of falling in love through astounding
33:20visuals.
33:21At the Calloway Circus, a gorgeous stranger captivates the wide-eyed Edward Bloom.
33:26He's so entranced that time seemingly stands still.
33:29They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops.
33:33And that's true.
33:35Pushing through the lively crowd, Edward comes face to face with his destiny.
33:39As the elderly narrator points out, however, when time starts up again, it goes twice as
33:45fast to catch up.
33:50In the blink of an eye, his dream girl is gone, but Edward won't rest until he finds her.
33:55Inventive and romantic, it's like something right out of a tall tale.
33:59Number two, West Side Dance, West Side Story.
34:04You're not thinking I'm someone else.
34:07I know you are not.
34:13Or that we've met before.
34:18While not a direct adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story was inspired by Shakespeare's
34:24most famous work right down to the love at first sight trope.
34:36In this classic musical, our lovers are a young Caucasian-American man named Tony and a Puerto
34:42Rican beauty named Maria.
34:44These two are instantly attracted to one another, despite the animosity between their rival gangs.
34:49As they exchange looks at a dance, everyone else in the gym fades away.
34:58Coming together in perfect harmony, the two fall into a hypnotic state and share an intimate
35:04dance.
35:04As far as Tony and Maria are concerned, nothing will come between them from this moment on.
35:11Maria, I've just met a girl named Maria.

35:42Number 1.
35:43The Aquarium.
35:44Romeo and Juliet.
35:46To be sure, the 1968 film version of the Shakespeare classic also deserves a shout-out.
35:57With Juliet looking absolutely striking in a red dress, it's no wonder Romeo can't take
36:02his eyes off her.
36:03But arguably, Baz Luhrmann's 1996 retelling of the tragedy captures the feeling of love
36:09at first sight like no other.
36:11Having snuck into the Capulet costume party, Leonardo DiCaprio's Romeo becomes captivated
36:16by a vibrant aquarium.
36:24But he doesn't only see fish.
36:27Juliet's eye catches his attention, and the duo stares curiously at each other through
36:31the glass.
36:32The camera work is simply stunning, with the aquarium's distortions creating some truly
36:37memorable shots.
36:38With the film's love theme playing in the background, the moment couldn't be any more
36:42romantic.
