movie moments

Can movie moments happen in real life?

You know, like when Mark Darcy marches out of Bridget’s apartment and she thinks things are over…that he’s totally pissed because he saw her journal, but really all he’s doing is buying her a new one for a fresh start? And of course, she runs after him, (in her underwear in the snow) desperate to stop him, desperate to explain…but there’s no explanation necessary. And then they kiss. and Wow what a kiss.

Or when Johnny shows up at the final show after being fired, walks over to Baby’s table and admonishes the dad, “Nobody puts baby in a corner.” And then they dance and everyone knows it’s true love.

Or like in What Happens in Vegas when they get the divorce and he knows it was the wrong thing, he figures out where she is and goes after her and asks her if she would like to be married to him again. On one knee, on the beach with a lighthouse in the background…man what a moment.

Or this famous Crash Davis speech that makes every woman I know swoon:

Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman’s back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

We all love a good movie moment, but do they happen in real life? We daydream about the person of our dreams surprising us in a way that will make us melt, but how often does that really happen? Is it realistic to believe in real life movie moments? Have you ever had one?

And what are some of your fave movie moments?
