American’s sweetheart has had some great movies, both dramatic and comedic. Her big smile and winning charm have taken her far, but the movie scripts given to her have also done some good. Here are her ten best movie lines.
10. ‘I’m pond scum. Well, lower actually. I’m like the fungus that feeds on pond scum.’
From ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’
It’s funny, even though she’s crying when she says it, because it’s an honest exchange between a couple of friends.
9. ‘Did I mention, my leg is 44″ from hip to toe. So basically we are talking about 88″ of therapy, wrapped around you for the bargain price of $3,000 dollars.’ From ‘Pretty Woman’
It’s sexy, sultry, funny and fun.
8. ‘You know every story, every wound, every memory. Their whole life’s happiness is wrapped up in you… every single second. Don’t you get it, Look down the road to her wedding. I’m in a room alone with her, fixing her veil, fluffing her dress, telling her no woman has ever looked so beautiful. And my fear is she’ll be thinking, “I wish my mom was here”.’
From ‘Stepmom’
What a tough role to step into, taking over all the motherly duties and making up for an entire life you missed, while they’re just missing their mom.
What a terrible position to be in.
7. ‘I don’t believe there’s such a thing as actions without consequences.’
From ‘Mary Reilly’
There is and there can’t be. If there wasn’t, everyone would just do whatever they wanted all the time, without a regard for anything or anyone else.
6. ‘For the first time in my life, I got people respecting me. Please, don’t ask me to give it up.’
From ‘Erin Brockovich’
Such a good movie. She’s powerful and right, respect is a difficult thing to earn, even when you shouldn’t necessarily have to, in terms of others judging you before they’ve ever even met you.
5. ‘I just went out there and performed sexual favours. Six hundred and thirty-four blow jobs in five days… I’m really quite tired.’ From ‘Erin Brockovich’
Funny! Her sarcasm and biting wit are uncanny.
4. ‘After all… I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.’
From ‘Notting Hill’
This one touches the heart. It’s honest and to the point. Simple and sweet.
3. ‘Charlie, I want you to defeat the Soviet Union, and end the Cold War.’
From ‘Charlie Wilson’s War’
Again, very to the point. She wants him to do something and she’s not joking at all.
2. ‘I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.’
From ‘Steel Magnolias’
Such a heartbreaking scene. It is beautiful and full of excitement for life, but ever so sad.
1. ‘Real emotion transcends language. You don’t have to understand their words to feel their pain.’
From ‘The Mexican’
Very, very, true. You can read anything on a person’s face if they are allowing their emotions to be seen and to live through them without hiding or pretending.
