Top Ten Romantic Movie Endings

I'm such a sucker for romantic movies. I absolutely HATE IT when the hero and heroine don't get together in the end or one of them dies. I don't think it's "poetic" if you ask me it's a total bummer! I always leave the theater feeling jipped when they don't ride off into the sunset together. So here are my top ten end-of-the-movie-guy-and-girl-finally-get-together (or back together) scenes (that I secretly wish I could be the heroine in):

10. Johnny and Millie in "Because I Said So"
Okay, kinda dorky movie but my sappy heart just melts when Johnny looks deep into Millie's eyes and says "Me, I get you".

9. Benny and Joon in "Benny and Joon"
I've always wondered if you really can make grilled cheese sandwiches with an iron. Plus, I fell in love with my husband while watching this movie with him.

8. Justin and Birdie in "Hope Floats"
Who wouldn't want a guy to show up at your work, give you wildflowers, pick you up and drive you off in his truck all while Bryan Adams sings in the background?

7. Jake and Melanie in "Sweet Home Alabama"
Kissing in the rain on the beach in a wedding dress? Count me in! Although I've kissed in the rain before and it was really cold..........well, it's #7

6. Jonathan and Sara in "Serendipity"
Total nail bitter, you really, really don't think they are going to find each other. He gives up and lays down desolate on the ice, it starts to snow and then........there she is! More "cold kissing" though....burr!

5. Captain Navarre and Isabeau in "Ladyhawke"
He's just soooooo happy to see her! You can see how much he adores her and is grateful to be human with her again. There's nothing like a reunion with your soulmate after you have been a hawk and he has been a wolf for years.

4. Simon and Emma in "The Saint"
This whole movie turns me on not just the ending....ask my husband what happens to him every time I watch it!

3. Cappie and Maggie in "Lucas"
Cappie: Are you interested in politics?
Maggie: So so.
Cappie: Are you interested in cars?
Maggie: No.
Cappie: Are you interested in wide receivers?
Maggie: What's that?
Cappie: The position I play.
Maggie: Oh, is that what you do? Sorta.
Cappie: Are you interested in being kissed?
Maggie: Yes.
Me too, me too! I want to be 16 again and be kissed by a hunky football player on the hood of his car too! Only he'd have to be a redheaded defensive tackle named John. Teenage tingles galore!!!

2. Keith and Watts in "Some Kind of Wonderful"
They say if you're friends first it makes for a lasting relationship. And those huge diamond earrings are a nice bonus!

1. Jerry and Dorothy in "Jerry McGuire"
I have to list that one as #1. My husband and I got engaged the day we saw this movie and our wedding invitation said "God completes me with you" on the front. Apparently I have always been a total sappy girl!!!!! But I do truly love the scene where Jerry walks into the the living room during the Angry Divorced Woman's Support Group and declares his love to his wife.

So what romantic movies do you wish you could step in at the end when the guy and the girl get together?

I TOTALLY want to be Elizabeth Bennett when she realizes Mr. Darcy is still madly in love with her. I love both versions and would take either Mr. Darcy but the ending in the new movie is way sexier. "I love. . I love... I love you"

Even better Ann Elliot when Captain Wentworth confesses his love. Carrying a torch for 17 years paid off for her.
