Happy Valentine's Day from YDKS Movies

For the record, I hate today more than any other day of the year. Really, I do. But, if you're lucky enough to not be single, have fun today I guess. And if you are single but plan on showing your affection for a special lady, please don't do what John Cusack does at the end of Say Anything. It was cool back then but today it would be perceived as stalker material.

Anyways, for today's post I figured I'd give you guys some romance-themed videos (no, not porn) from various movies. Enjoy.

*Note: All these videos contain spoilers for their respective films.*

Say Anything:

John Cusack holds a big boom box over his head and plays a Peter Gabriel song to a girl who's trying to sleep. The definition of love if you ask me.

Chasing Amy (previously posted as a Speech of the Week):

Holden tells Alyssa he loves her. Say what you will about Kevin Smith but his writing is great here. Memorizing this speech might help you out, guys.

When Harry Met Sally:

One of the few chick flicks I can stomach. The fact that it made me believe that Billy Crystal could nab Meg Ryan in her heyday shows how well made it is. And don't you like it when everything works out in the end?

Some Kind of Wonderful:

This is the John Hughes movie you never saw (well, he actually didn't direct it but he did write it). It's basically Pretty in Pink but with the roles of Ducky and Andy reversed. And, unlike that movie, the nerdy, misunderstood character actually gets a hook up at the end. Now that's what I like to see.  Even though Watts has a boy name and a boy hair cut, I still think she's cute. Forget Keith, Watts. He's too busy chasing around that hussy Lea Thompson. I'll take you home.

This one is painfully underrated, despite all its glaring 80's cliches. Check out the ending below. 

Sixteen Candles (en Espanol!):

Yeah, I couldn't find an English version of this anywhere. Oh well. This is the ending where Sam ends up with that punk Jake Ryan (well, actually he seemed like a nice guy but I always wanted her to end up with Geek... come on, Anthony Michael Hall was the man). The thing that always bothered me about this scene was my confusion on why they are sitting on the table with the cake at the end. Who does that? And what if the table broke right after the kiss? I could see it happening.

Lost in Translation:

Bob and Charlotte have one last embrace while my heart breaks. The whisper still kills me. This is also in another language (I guess YouTube is cracking down on English film clips) but since the only word you hear them say is "bye" it's not that big of a deal. Still, great ending.

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back:

Hah, bet you didn't see this coming. For all you nerds out there, here's proof that there is love even in a galaxy far, far away. The love between Han and Leia always felt real and geniune. Why? Because Han is a bad a, that's why. And who doesn't love a bad a? Too bad the romance presented in the prequels was just laughable. 

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind:

This scene kills me. It really does. This is the last memory to be erased from Joel's head of his relationship with Clementine. It is the first day that they met. Realizing it is all almost gone, they just decide to enjoy it. This is the greatest romantic comedy ever made. Ever.

The Last of the Mohicans:

This is that scene where Nathaniel and Cora make out from The Last of the Mohicans that everyone likes. It works particularly well due to the musical score. We watched this movie in my 10th grade English class. In fact, I think everyone did. It was pretty awesome.

Hope you all enjoyed all that. Just so you know, I watched all of those scenes before putting them on here. It left me feeling sappy, sad and lonely. So thanks. I just wanted you all to know the suffering I undergo for your entertainment. Now have a good Valentine's Day.
