FROM BLOG: Fan Fare - Reuters correspondents blog on the stories behind the entertainment headlines
The following blog post is from an independent writer and is not connected with Reuters News. The opinions and views expressed herein are those of the author and are not endorsed by Reuters.com.
Network Video, an Australian video retail company, has come up with its list of the best and the worst move pick up lines.
Here’s the best…
1. ”We live in a cynical world. A cynical world. And we work in a business of tough competitors. I love you. You … complete me.”- Tom Cruise to Renee Zellweger in Jerry Maguire, 1996
2. ”Marry me, and I’ll never look at another horse.” - Groucho Marx to Margaret Dumont in A Day at the Races
3. ”I want to take care of you.” “Good … ’cause I really need to be taken care of.”
- Billy Bob Thornton to Halle Berry in Monster’s Ball
4. ”I want all of you. Forever. Every day.” - Ryan Gosling to Rachel McAdams in The Notebook
5. ”Mind if I get drunk with you?” - Clark Gable to Jean Harlow in Red Dust
6. ” I know what I want, because I have it in my hands right now. You.” - Gerard Butler to Hilary Swank in Ps I Love You
7. ”You came back to this bar to see me tonight, didn’t you?”"What if it wasn’t you I came here to see tonight?” “Well, ya’ got lucky.” - Paul Newman and Charlotte Rampling in The Verdict
And here’s the worst…
1. ”You’re 38 and you look it” - Aaron Eckhart to Helena Bonham Carter in Conversations With Other Women
2. ”I appreciate this whole seduction thing you’ve got going on here, but let me give you a tip: I’m a sure thing.” - Julia Roberts to Richard Gere in Pretty Woman.
3. “Are you stalking me? Because that would be super” - Ryan Reynolds to Tara Reid in Van Wilder.
4. ”I could find the whole meaning of life in those sad eyes.”- Nathan Fillion to Kerri Russell in Waitress
5. “You think I’m gorgeous … you want to kiss me … you want to hug me … you want to love me … you want to smooch me … ” - Sandra Bullock to Benjamin Bratt in Miss Congeniality
6. “You were hoping for a goodnight kiss?”"No, you know. I’ll tell ya, I was hoping to get goodnight laid…” - Matt Damon and Minnie Driver in Good Will Hunting
7. “Would you like to have breakfast with me?” “Sure, fine.” “Shall I phone you or nudge you?” - Mary Mcdonnell and Stephen Tobolowsky in Sneakers
What do you think was the best — or the worst — movie pickup?My personal best from those is "5. ”Mind if I get drunk with you?” - Clark Gable to Jean Harlow in Red Dust" and personally, I think the Julia Roberts to Richard Gere thing should have been in the best (maybe the author's still stuck on the idea that "good girls don't do it?"). How Groucho Marx, whom I absolutely adore, ended up the int e best, I'd like to know...
In an aside, one of my favourite movie lines only related to pick ups, not about one directly is "Goodness had nothing to do with it, dearie." And several others from the same source. Out of curiosity, WITHOUT googling, can anyone name who that is?
And naturally, post your own favourite movie pick up (and other) lines.
