Why I Chose This:
There are just a lot of scenes in this movie that you could definitely relate and wish that this is your own love story. Yet, there are things in life that you cant control and this is what the movie will tell us. The actor and actresses here are both good looking that is why every glance they throw at each other seems to be absolutely felt by viewers.
Favorite Scene:
That wonderful scene where Ryan O’Neal as Oliver Barrett IV yells at his new wife, Jennie Cavalleri (Ali MacGraw), and she runs out of the house. Ollie runs all over town looking for her. He opens every practice room door in the music department (and to put up with that opera, oy!, that’s love), scours the library—all day and into the night. Then he goes home. She’s sitting on their front porch, her pert, flaring nose red and snotty from crying: “I forgot my key." “I’m sorry," says Oliver. “Love means never having to say you’re sorry."
Favorite Quote:
Oliver: See, I think you're scared. You put up a big glass wall to keep from getting hurt. But it also keeps you from getting touched. It's a risk, isn't it, Jenny? At least I had the guts to admit what I felt. Someday you're gonna have to come up with the courage to admit you care.
