Moonstruck

I love this scene so much.  If you have to, you can fast-forward through the first two minutes where she is getting ready for the date. (though that's what it's like, ok?  well,  i usually don't have wine first.  but playing with your shoes and trying on your dress in front of the mirror, yes.)

Then they walk back to his place and Nicholas Cage says this on the street:

 Loretta, I love you. Not like they told you love is,
and I didnt know this either, but love dont make things nice - it
ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We
arent here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The
stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves
and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and *die*. The
storybooks are bullshit. Now I want you to come upstairs with me
and get in my bed!

- John Patrick Shanley
