THE MOVIE: Pretty Woman (1990)
THE SCENE: She walked off the streets and into our hearts. And when showing how deep a Hooker can go (ahem) Julia Roberts tells a story that is in no way a microcosm for this entire diatribe of a movie. Nope. Not at all.
THE LINE: Richard Gere "So what happens after he climbs up and rescues her?"
Julia Roberts "She rescues him right back." 9)
THE SCENE: In what was really no more than a plot device that would make even Nicholas Sparks shudder we get this repeated phrase that somewhere some 35 year old man is repeating to his wife tonight thinking he is clever.
THE LINE: Demi Moore: "I love you." Patrick Swayze: "Ditto."
8)
THE MOVIE: Hope Floats (1998)
THE SCENE: Harry Connick Jr takes time away from shitty cameos for CSI-NCIS-FBI-Chattanooga to step in and deliver this dandy to a single mother who recently was embarrassed on a nation-wide talk show.
THE LINE: “Dancing is just a conversation between two people. Talk to me."
THE MOVIE: Ever After (1998)
THE SCENE: The context here might even be worse than the line. So, Drew Barrymore in some bastardized version of Cinderella is trying to explain to, of all people, Leonardo da Vinci why her romance is impossible.
THE LINE: ”A bird may love a fish, signore, but where will they live?”
THE LINE: ”A bird may love a fish, signore, but where will they live?”
6)
THE SCENE: Meg Ryan waxes poetic as she’s lying in bed presumably mid-thrust with her lover-boy Alien, I mean Angel, "Seth" who's now become human.
THE LINE: ”We were made to fit together.”
THE LINE: ”We were made to fit together.”
5), 4) and 3)
THE SCENE(s): I have no idea. And I hope to keep it that way. I can only assume that Edward is mad that the sale at "Claire's" has ended and he will have to buy the expensive glitter now but wants his beloved Bella to know that despite these hard economic times he still wants to give her a mutant baby.
THE LINE(s): "Isabella Swan, I promise to love you every moment of forever."
&
"I've never wanted a human's blood so much before."
&
"You're like my own personal brand of heroine."
"You're like my own personal brand of heroine."

THE MOVIE: Chronicles of Riddick (2004)
THE SCENE: Vin Diesel is all of his steaming glory (literally, he emits steam in this flick) flicks one liners like he is Rodney Dangerfield and is somehow seen early in the film with Dame Judie Dench, who must have had some contractual obligation, and is clearly over-matched.
THE LINE: "It's been a long time since I smelled beautiful."
1)
THE MOVIE: Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)
THE SCENE: Natalie Portman professes her undying love in a way only George Lucas could have put it.
THE LINE: “Hold me like you did by the lake on Naboo.”
THE LINE: “Hold me like you did by the lake on Naboo.”

And as a bonus I leave you with THE most romantic line ever spoken in film:
Where are all the white women at? - Blazing Saddles
