The 30 Best Romantic Quotes From Movies (1)

Different genres of movies capture different moods: Sometimes you want to be scared by a horror film, educated by a documentary, or sent into delirious laughter by a comedy. But when you just want to be reminded of all that's good in the world, there's no better place to turn than the romance section of your Netflix home page.

Romantic movies, from rom-coms to dramas are filled with grand gestures, perfectly imperfect couples, and, of course, unbelievably eloquent admissions of love. Who could ever forget the short, sweet, and to the point "You complete me" from Jerry Maguire? Or the moment when a certain girl stands in front of a certain boy in Notting Hill and asks him to love her? Cinematic moments like these may not actually happen all that often in real life, but with the help of your favorite rom-coms, you can spend two hours in a world where they do.
