Movies are a treasure trove of witty one-liners and elaborate words you can use in the context of romance. Check out our list of the best ones!
Some guys don’t know all the right things to say, but even if they don’t, they might know a few right things to say, and sometimes, more often than not, that’s also enough.
I happen to be a sucker for great quotes, and I tend to fall in love with a song not because of the melody, but because of the lyrics. There is nothing more romantic than hearing someone tell you something that only sounds like it was taken right out of a movie.
Just like in matters of love and relationships, if you know there are some things that always work like a charm, why wouldn’t you use them on your guy or gal? With that said, romantic movie quotes are things we know would often work. We know they work because those same lines managed to pull on our heartstrings when we watched them.

22. It doesn’t matter if the guy is perfect or the girl is perfect, as long as they are perfect for each other. – Good Will Hunting
23. I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you’re always right.
I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you’re not around, and the fact that you didn’t call. But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. – 10 Things I Hate About You

If anyone were to say these great lines to me, I would absolutely melt inside. What girl wouldn’t want a handsome guy she likes telling her all the things she has only actually heard and known to be true in movies, but dreamed about happening in real life?
There is a reason some girls tell guys they know all the right things to say. My guess is they have probably taken some notes from watching romantic movies or reading a great love story. As cheesy as you might think it seems, it works, and it works really, really well.
