How well do you know your romantic movies?

My son’s girlfriend did a posting over on Facebook the other day that intrigued me. So when I found out I had today’s post, I figured I’d follow her lead and get you involved in today’s post. Below you’ll find 25 quotes from my favorite romantic movies, one or two of which I’ll probably be cuddling up to my husband with tonight since, for the first time in years, both our sons are out of the house.

If you know the movie associated with the quote, leave a comment with the number and the title. As someone guesses correctly I’ll cross them off the list and put your name beside the quote. If you’re like me you’ll read them and think “I know what that’s from, I’ve seen it, but what’s the title?”

(Edited I’ve posted the answers to the unsolved ones in the comments so you can still have fun but check your answers at the end.)

Have fun!
